I come from a Catholic up brining and I recently got a vasectomy. My father pays more attention to my brother who is a real “eff up” than he does me and my wife who have done everything right be the books. We speculate it’s because he has a child and we don’t.

My girlfriend brought along her 14 year old son. As we are enjoying a beautiful summer day on the water with food and cocktails..(don't worry, no drinking and driving,the boat was docked.):)<br />Anywho, her son decides to get angry at her and call her drunk!

The shock that new parents experience, which often lasts for years, as they discover how horrible children are. What I don't understand is what happened to these people's memories?

Of course the video backpedals at the end with appreciation for moms on Mother's Day, but I was still listening to the very obvious portion of the film - being a mom sucks.

Then when it's flamed up with the title of "mom" all of the awful tasks don't seem to matter anymore. I wonder if this is real if the "applicants" will think twice about having kids or not.

Actually, I'm not sure it should be a universal "right." Since adults are the ones making the rules and setting the norms, they make rules and norms that benefit them. They only care about their own desires to have kids.

But sadly, anyone who's anyone can have a child, and many people are simply unfit parents.

Literally every woman there over age twenty was married, had children, or was pregnant. All the women could talk about was kids and childbirth and diapers and I was just sitting there, bored to tears.

There have only been 44 Presidents (since the Constitution, anyway). <br /><br />So, the odds of your Precious McSnowflake being President are essentially zero. And, given how some of those 44 have behaved, being President isn't such a great thing either.
