WTF????
Today I was reading the Enterainment section of the Plain Dealer and I stopped to read one of the advice columns. It happened to be the parenting column by Dr. Sylvia Rimm. I was horrified and appalled as I read the article. I have to share it with ya'll
Q. I have a question I've yet to see in your column and probably never will. What do you do when you can't stand your own child? My 10-year-old son has been a thorn in my side since he was 2 years old. He respects no one and is self-centered and selfish. He demands attention, yells and screams for no reason, and is mean to others, but if somebody is mean to him because he was being obnoxious, I hear, "My life sucks. Everybody hates me. I hate my life." This isn't depression, but just his personality. I've had repeated talks with him and nothing works. His father is somewhat the same and has just moved away with his new family to a different state. I have to bear the burden of raising him completely alone now.
I finally met a man I care for deeply, and I feel we'll never be able to live together for fear of how my son will ruin his and his well-behaved children's lives. My son says he hates my boyfriend and that he'll never live with him. I lived with someone a while back, and my son made all of our lives a living hell, and he didn't even hate that man. I can't put anybody through that again, and yet I truly love this man and wish to spend the rest of my life with him -- with or without my son. I have a right to enjoy my life, too.
Okay, Dr. Rimm gave a good response but I just have to say a few things to this. First off, someone find that woman and sterilize her. She has no damn business having children because she is so wrapped up in her own selfish little world. She wants to spend the rest of her life with some guy with or withour her son???? WTF? This isn't a freaking puppy we are talking about that you find a new home for because you can't housebreak it. This is a child you moron that you chose to have so suck it up and live up to your end of the bargain which is to get the kid and yourself help because you and your ex are such messes that you are well on the way to turning your kid into a mess as well. No wonder the kid acts out. . .I would too!
I just can't get over these freaking people. WHY ARE YOU HAVING KIDS IF YOU DON'T WANT THEM??????? If I was that other man she was seeing I would have extreme doubts, hell if she would dump her kid at the blink of an eye then what the hell would she do to me. Damn, I just can't help feeling really sorry for that poor kid and thank God that I have the parents that I do.

Wow. I'm equally appalled. Although, someone who gets rid of the unhousebreakable puppy is almost as evil.
A lot of women who come onto our free clinics have this twisted mentality that having a baby with a man is like setting down a contract with him. It is especially sad, because these women think that a child will cement a relationship when, in reality, a child could use a strong relationship between parents as a firm foundation.
I agree with both Derek & Justin, and of course, you too, Vinnie.
There was a similar article in Dear Abby recently, about a new mother who hated her baby and just kept the child because the father was a soldier overseas and it was their link.
But me, in a stable gay relationship, is not able to foster needy kids in Michigan, and if the Republicans have their way and get the legislation passed, Michigan will join Florida in being states where gay couples cannot even adopt children.
Now, my partner doesn't want kids and I respect that, but if we did want to adopt: I'll tell you what, we'd be a hundred thousand times better parents than these people who have kids because either they didn't use birth control or they wanted "it" to solidify their relationship.
Okay, I'm getting off my soapbox now...

Hey, kids are jerks. I'm glad someone finally said it!
