Do you know someone who farms their kid out more than normal people?

To even try to impose on a family with two full time working parents is frickin' outrageous. Either work and get childcare so you can go play for 6 hours on a weekend day, or develop a network so you can shirk your childcare duties on the occasional weekend.

Can't understand how that SAHD even looks at himself in the mirror.

Wow- this sounds excessively bitchy...

DH and I both work and I'm not opposed at all to helping out a friend / acquaintance - who cares what they wanted to do? Either say yes or no, but you just sound MEAN.

It that stick so far up your ass that it tickles your throat?

You cannot give a name to a registered thoroughbred horse that is suggestive or has a vulgar or obscene meaning; names considered in poor taste; or names that may be offensive to religious, political or ethnic groups. The post of Hitler and Stalin are obscene and your answer above is vulgar and crude.

It took me several tries to understand this post. But I hung in there and got it!

Let me say only that I have serious doubts that ANYONE has EVER confused DCUM for a registered thoroughbred horse. Although DCUM has taken many for a ride.

And it's not MEAN to ask someone else, on 30 minutes notice, to provide free childcare for 6 hours?

OK, you're probably right (Stalin poster here). I will now become the Karl Marx poster. While Marx's ideas proved nearly-impossible to implement without brutal repression, and he was flat-out wrong that Russia would be the last European country to have a communist revolution ... he is not in se offensive the way Stalin is. Thusly, I will insure interest of the proletariat is served properly and will continue the fight against reactionary thought on the Off-Topic forum.



Hitler poster, OTOH, I can't do a thing about. I suggested Otto von Bismarck for the German accent hilarity, or maybe Kaiser Wilhelm. Which one is more instantly recognizable the way Stalin and Marx are?

I found you hilarious, everything-traces-back-to-Hitler poster. Maybe because Inglorious Basterds is on HBO and I have watched it 3 times already.

My sister farms out her kids ALL the time. Has a nanny. They play every sport all the time. Their schedules are insane. She lives in NYC, but people do it. Playdates, clubs, all the possible crap she can do to have a quiet house from 7am-6pm. Must be nice to be a mom of 4 kids under 13 with all the free time in the world. Certainly wasn't our mom and certainly isn't me!

FWIW, she used to say she hated kids when we younger. Now she has 4, go figure.

Maybe it took her four times to figure out what she was doing to make babies or she didn't understand, or use, birth control.

Yeah... If her husband wasn't a big-time plastic surgeon I could see that argument. I think she realized they were wealthy enough that she could have kids and never have to actually deal with them. If I could wipe my ass with hundred dollar bills, I would probably have more kids, too. Difference is, I am always spending time with my kid and only use babysitters at night to go out and have fun.

I gotta get me some of that!

Who are the "normal people"?

[Anonymous]

PP, don't you know that "normal people" don't use one minute of extra daycare, and only go out three or four times a year at night? The rest of the time, they are chained either to their desks or to their children.

Google Godwin's Law - there's actually a reason for the Hitler posts. And lighten up - I'm not sure what naming conventions for horses has to do with an anonymous internet forum.

Really? I'll give you my Oma's email address, her mother, sister and boyfriend were killed in WWII. I'm sure she can tell you how "funny" Hitler is. You're a total asshole and I'm stunned that you can even find Hitler amusing. Do you find Darfur amusing? Starving children amusing?

Ok, I'm an asshole? I don't find Hitler amusing, I am amused by someone making fun of him. The stick is so far up your ass, I can see it in the back of your throat. Thank you, for thinking I am heartless. I will relay this to my grandfather who fought in WWII and my great-great uncle, who also fought in WWII. I will make sure and get in contact with my grandfather's good friend who not only survived the USS Indianapolis sinking in the Pacific but was kind enough to tell me all about it for my WWII Seminar class in college. Do you think they would mind if I joked about how awful Hitler was? On top of that, I will go ask my friend from grade school if his grandmother, who survived Auschwitz, would mind if I enjoyed making fun of Hitler. I grew up a stones throw away from Skokie, IL... I am not a Nazi sympathizer. Thanks, though.

Okay Hitler asshole, crawl back under your rock now, please.
