I feel the same way about pregnancy and the cult of motherhood. It's voluntary, you don't deserve any accolades.

If it was involuntary would you have more respect for it?

PP here. That should be ARE important. See, it's even happening to me! Yikes.

I think one spank on the bottom for a serious behavior issue is fine and more people should employ it.

I think people should be able to commit suicide if they are terminally ill or just do not want to live any longer.

I think parents should plan for one parent to stay home with their children while the other works.

We spend too much on national defense, and there are way too many government contractors in this area.

NP here. I am enraged by all the free stuff SN parents get that have nothing to do withy their child's SN. I can kinda see the free PT/OT/Speech maybe, but my very wealthy friend also gets FOR FREE from the county: preschool withh bus service, 42 hours/week nanny, Medicaid and food stamps. FOR FREE. And the nanny does her laundry and watches her NT kids too!!

Uh, wha? Food stamps is a means-based program, as is Medicaid -- if they are indeed "very wealthy" then they wouldn't be eligible for those programs. And I've never heard of a free nanny, no way. Maybe an aid in the classroom? If her child is eligible for a free special needs preschool and full-time aid, you shouldn't be enraged or envious...it means her child is quite disabled.

It's all true. The means test for Medicaid/food stamps is done ON THE KID, who has no assets. All his copays and RX's are paid by Medicaid, and his food is bought with food stamps. In addition to preschool five days a week, his mom is allowed 42 hours of nanny care paid. She does not work, has two NT kids, lives in a 6000sf house and drives a large luxury SUV. Her SN child walks, talks, eats, and is potty trained, he is just delayed pretty significantly. I don't see why she needs a tax payer paid nanny because of that.

Agree.

Why?

I like wall-to-wall carpet in bedrooms and in the basement/rec room. I feel like all hardwood floors everywhere make a house seem too cold or sterile.

Are you me? Did I post this and not remember?

I'll add that I don't judge them for this. I actually have a great deal of sympathy for them. But, I don't believe people are born in the wrong bodies.

This. It's a mental disorder and we should not allow people to butcher themselves due to this illness.

Do you actually know any transgendered people? I grew up with two transgendered kids in my community. If you met either one of them now, you would never guess that either one had ever been labeled a girl. They are bright, successful men with normal, healthy relationships. They are not ill and they have not butchered themselves.

+1. If it's a mental disorder, it's certainly one that allows sufferers to lead happy, productive, independent lives. It's not an easy path, but if I had to pick a mental disorder I guess I'd pick that one!
