Sponsor |  digits | Oct 30, 2005 9:22pm | "Proud Parent"
[My blog here.]
being a new user to myspace and seeing the parental option i could care less if someone is a proud parent or not. [goody for you, you had sex and 9 months or so later you or your receptacle squirted out a biological product of your impassioned - if you were lucky - night.] yes i may sound jealous and admittedly, i am, because i want the "proud to not be a parent" option.
why has it yet to become popular or fashionable to dislike most children? why has it yet not become understood that when people poop out babies they're really pooping out a hope or a dream or some other filler to replace the ache of despair they have within their souls? ...and this, people say they are proud of.
i would prefer to be proud of being a sane and productive member of society, contributing to the masses already alive [and let's remember, people were once children too] who remain inopportuned or in suffering. too crazy to imagine that maybe. or maybe i am strange - which is not such a leap into wierdness for me.
i saw a profile a while ago and her occupation was "stay at home mommy" and i wanted to throw up. yes, i believe in the concept of stay at home mom's. good god - we need all the help we can get with the rabid underbelly of miscreantic lunatics being peddled into "2 pre-k" but to be *proud* of that? no. be proud when your kid doesn't grow up going to jail, or robbing a liquor store or cursing his teachers. be proud when you've afforded some merit to her otherwise useless life.
i see kkk people, proud to be white. i see "black pride" and i see "feminist" propaganda. pride in self, the things you can improve on, are the worthwhile causes of pride. how can i be proud of something i have no control over? mommy, are you proud you were able to carry your fetus to term? daddy, are you proud you were able to achieve orgasm? what exactly, about this biological process is there to be proud over? crimony.
i feel like i am in some twisted version of the Stepford Wives where pretending is natural law. perhaps happy may be cool...happy your kid's got all digits. but proud? proud of what... your contribution to the world in the form of a by-product of nature. |

Sponsor | | Dr-Duke | Nov 10, 2005 12:59pm | I'm proud of my poop. It's no more surprising or amazing than having a child. You perform a normal, natural function of being a mammal (eat or sex) and a byproduct is produced which your body must expel.
I've always considered pregnancy a sickness anyway. A woman's body is infected with a foreign body after her white blood cells fail to kill it. Then she goes through a series of hormonal and physical changes that result in discomfort and pain. In modern times, the woman is required to see a doctor on a regular basis and all of this ultimately ends in a visit to the hospital to remove the growth.
I agree. Excluding the rare child prodigy, happy would suffice. |

I would think that it should be a humbling and fearful experience if anything. Like, "What have I gotten myself into now? God help me!" ;-) |
