I had multiple abortions when I was younger and I fully realize how irresponsible and sick it was. But they do not define me and do not make me any less of a parent to my children today. I do take it to heart when people make comments about women who have had abortions should be sterilized, never have kids, etc. I am a good mother.

shareStay at home parents are amazing. I have a lot of respect for them, my own mother was SAHM and she in my opinion is the best mum in the world! I just can't respect my friend who wants to have a baby as soon as possible just so she doesn't have to work any more. That's a terrible reason to have a child and it's a terrible reason to quit work. Her lazy ass is in for a shock when she discovers that it's not so easy after all...
Due to family pressure and abuse (including sick blackmail about harming my unborn nephew), I attempted suicide. I'll always have this scar now. I got a counsellor who suggested I talk to them. I told them what I'd done. My mother's response? "Bullshit." This is just the last in a long line of reasons why I've cut off from them. And you know? For the first time in years I've found that daily life doesn't have to be miserable and stressful. I didn't realise how tightly wound I was until they were gone. I don't regret this, but I hope that one day things will change and we can rekindle things.
I feel bad for that obese kid who CPS took away from his mom b/c she was over feeding him. He lost weight when someone else was caring for him (an uncle I think), but as soon as he went back into his mothers care he started gaining weight. IMO she is abusing him.
when i was pregnant, my ex's stepmother compared my baby's life to the lives of her rats (that she bred to feed to her snakes). she had left a note for us to feed them while she was at work, but we didn't see the note. so she came home and said "how would you like it if i neglected to feed your baby while i'm babysitting?" needless to say, i never allowed her to babysit.
Ever think "its" always blamed on the mother because, well in many cases it really is the mothers fault? Look at narcissism, the majority of mental health professionals believe how a child is raised is a major factor in who grows into a narcissist.
My DH has a cousin (older than him) who has a DD who is going on 10 years old. They live in our town and he always sees the girl out with a different woman who is "babysitting." He comes home every time feeling badly and saying how we should take her in 'at least for the summer.' Sorry DH NOT HAPPENING. That little girl is one of the meanest, nastiest, disrespectful kids I have ever met in my LIFE- but only to women! She has issues because her mother abandoned her and while I feel for her, I refuse to take in a child like than when I have my own DD to worry about.
I have a DS who is almost four. My sister is CF but has a dog that she dotes on. The dog is getting old and has a lot of issues. She try to compare her dog to my son. WTF. On Mother's Day she started an arguement about how it takes her longer to get out of the house and to work in the morning than it takes me, because the dog needs this and that and she has to make sure he is on the lowest level of her home because he can no longer do stairs. She cook him special oatmeal to eat every morning! I don't get it. DH, DS and I have a morning routine, no problems getting out and to work on time.
I don't need to advertise how good of a mother I am by yabbing about him constantly. I keep my son out of conversations when I'm not around him. I can't befriend other moms because I don't give a shit about what little Susi said or did. Parenthood is more enjoyable when you don't let it consume your life. Yes, your child should always come first - but trust me, that won't be done just by talking about it.
