[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can tell just by reading this supposed mother (and father) forum that a large % of posters are childless and pretending to be parents. A couple of unhinged spinsters just exposed themselves in a random entertainment thread. I feel sorry for them. Motherhood and heirs changes you in profound ways they will NEVER understand.[/quote]

I’m sorry you are so insecure and have no identity besides being a mom. That must be rough.

I actually think parenthood does change some people profoundly, some people are incredibly self-absorbed and lead fairly meaningless party girl/party boy existence until they have kids, then their eyes are opened to how awesome it can be to not be so self-focused to do for someone else. They assume everyone else is like they were pre-kid, totally vapid, it boggles their minds that some people  didn't need to become a parent to be a decent human being.[/quote]

Yup. I've heard people say that they didn't care about anyone else until they had kids, didn't care about what was happening in the world, didn't care about anything really. My reaction to them is "I'm glad you're not a sociopath anymore but most people never were."[/quote]

I was really hoping parenthood would change the personalities of some of my friends. They were b**ches before, they stayed the same after having kids. [/quote]

Mothering actually made me a bigger b because I don't have the time and emotional resources to deal with any BS. [/quote]

It's made my much more myopic and selfish than pre kids. I don't have the bandwidth to deal with as much outside of my own family. Looking around, I don't think I'm alone. [/quote]
