[quote=Anonymous]Pedigree!? Are you a dog? Here girl [click tongue]! And I called a truce!

“I don’t have the fancy degree … but have a pedigree” You don’t see what’s wrong with that statement? You don’t see how pretentious that statement was? And we moms are SO bad. Thanks for that judgment. Mirror-mirror. I don’t respect your statement and here is why:

First I don’t have a pedigree. I didn’t come out of the right vagina. Sorry for the visual, but your statement I found just as disgusting. My mother cleaned toilets and raised 8 children. Second, I didn’t go to any ivy league school either. (Didn’t have the grades or the money). I waitressed all through school. In short, I WORKED for a living ALL my life. No one paid for any of my schooling or my husband’s. We lived off cup of noodles for years. I went to public school, then state college. Nothing fancy or pedigreed about me.

I live with my husband in Oxon Hill—very middle class working-for-it neighborhood. We WORKED for every penny we had and so do my neighbors. No help—no rich parents to make it all nice for us. No “quit work” was EVER offered to me or my husband by our McMansion parents.

Cry-cry-tear-tear. 25 years of blood, sweat and tears does make you a bitch. I’m very guilty of that! Jealousy does have an ugly head. I never denied that about me.

My argument and frustration in this blog response comes from 25 years of fighting to get the art buying position I hold. I wrestled it away from ivy league grads (who probably worked just as hard for it) and/or WORSE, the pedigreed/vagina girl (i.e. the “came-out-of or came-in (eww) handed-to-her kinda of girl”—Again sorry for the visuals). Yes, I’m morally bankrupt—I wasn’t born in a whelping box like you.

Nothing to see here moms! We moms are the bad ones for giving pedigrees to our pretentious children. Ruff—Ruff!
