I applaud taking measures to be responsible with your health, and as I said, I'm glad her discomfort is gone. However, I'm tired of Cruel's name-calling on children, and she's done it many times before this. It gets to the point where one thinks she's either trying to convince herself, or she's trying to "impress" people with how many nasty names she can come up with for children.

Again, if you don't want to have kids, fine. But you don't have to go on about it.

Fair point if Cruel's never nice about her monkey-sink, although I still feel sorry for her being in discomfort while ensuring she doesn't have any more, and I hope she has got a good supply of raisin buns and chocolate ice cream now.

Oh god yes! I'll take ten minutes of probing and three hours of cramps over nine months of pregnancy, six hours (or more! ) of labor, and eighteen years of an ungrateful shitty little money-sink, any day of the week.

I love my kids and they are grateful.

Uh, guys. Woman going through extreme discomfort here in order that man can enjoy sex without having to put condoms on. Bit of sympathy?

...

She's doing it for the guys? I thought she did it because didn't want any ungrateful shitty little money sinks. Besides, she needs to wear a condom or we'll be hearing about her STIs.

Cruel doesn't have any "money-sinks," as she's referring to kids. And again, since she doesn't want any, getting the IUD was a smart move. I also am sorry she had some discomfort, but I gather it's gone, or at least a lot less. Still doesn't excuse the derogatory terms for kids.

Yep, that's what I said, too.

 

[Cruel2BKind]

Wow, this devolved into a study of my character while I was gone.

For the record, I do feel a lot better, and thank you Naoko, for staying on my side, and stuffing me with digital junk food.

I could never be a parent. Kids frighten me and disgust me in a deep fundamental way. I'm sorry to Slyc, Penn, Jomar, and Steve. My comment was childish, and rude. I forget that I'm something of an anomaly when it comes to procreating. It makes me physically sick to think of having a child. And I sometimes have nightmares about drowning babies. So I think that it's best for all involved (potential husband, potential offspring, extended family, and myself) if I NEVER have a kid.

Hell. The IUD is just a stopgap measure until a doctor agrees to give me a tubal ligation.

Thanks for the raisins Hadley.

Sr... Just go somewhere else please? You really aren't happy unless your pushing someone down, aren't you?

Sometimes I like to pretend that he's a figment of my imagination

 

[Cruel2BKind]

Also, still going to use condoms. Unprotected sex only if he is a steady monogamous partner that I trust and got tested, yadda yadda yadda.

Even werewolves will wear condoms nowadays, y'know, although they whine a lot about it.

Don't have monkey-sinks! we who are kicking up our kitten heels in Stepford are quite happy to get on with that for you, LOL.

You can even have some of my cream slice , something I have never even shared with my piglet - out of concerns for her health, guys!

What does it say on the cup? I can't quite make it out?

Thanks for the cream slice.

It says: I'm not bossy; I just have better ideas.

 

[colddiesel]

She often comes across as a snotty brat here. .

She!?:

 

[mynameisben]

I think it says, "I'm not bossy. I just have better shoes."

 

[PennLady]

She!?:

Yes, Cruel's a she.

 

[mynameisben]

Yes, Cruel's a she.

Oh. I guess that puts the IUD discussion in a completely different light.

As I said before, I think you getting the IUD is a smart move. I think it's smart for you to talk about this with potential partners if it gets serious, etc. And I don't think everyone should have kids. (As an aside, I think your reactions seem extreme and could perhaps warrant counseling, but that's up to you.)

But I do think you go overboard with your expressions about kids; so thanks for the apology.

It may just be an overreaction to how society treats women who happen not to want children. We are supposed to be baby makers, in the patriarchal society we live in women who don't want children are judged harshly.

In my case, if I happened not to be married to a woman and instead was married to a man I would not have children. I'm not mommy nor could I ever be mommy. I have no desire to ever become pregnant. But having children does make a difference, I do love my children dearly and would not change being a parent even if I could.

I love Wondermark, so I just wanted to share this comic, on the theme of not liking kids: http://wondermark.com/277/

That's hilarious.

Brings a tear to the eyes just thinking about it, huh?

 

[NaokoSmith]

I think it says, "I'm not bossy. I just have better shoes."

LOL. I do have better shoes.

Two pairs of wedge heeled peep toed fabric slingbacks. Black stilettos with diamante clips. Kitten heeled navy slingbacks with a little bow.

Oh, the pink wellies too, of course.

And I have better ideas about shoes.

Matthew, that cartoon was hilarious.

I love my child like it was my own. (Oh, it is.) But I sometimes have to say to her: "I will always love you but I don't have to like you." Obstreperous, opinionated, argumentative little ... No idea where she gets it from.

 

[sr71plt]

She!?:

Why, yes. Can't you tell even from this thread that Cruel is a she? I can on you about this issue too.

 

[sr71plt]

We are supposed to be baby makers, in the patriarchal society we live in women who don't want children are judged harshly.

Oh, come on. How is it that your mind got stuck in the 1950s? You seem to have missed the whole feminist revolution. Most of the rest of us didn't.

 

[sr71plt]

Sr... Just go somewhere else please? You really

Not a chance, hon. I was here before you dropped in here before you were legal and blogged about not being able to get anyone to lay you and your weight and how yucky children are and how much more you know than anyone your parents' age and all of your female plumbing issues, and I imagine I'll be here discussing erotica long after you've gotten tired of blogging about your periods and have grown up and moved on, married, started having children, figured out you're not half as brilliant you think you are, and settled in the Detroit suburbs.

Detroit?

Can you read?

Maybe he can, but he forgot that Detroit isn't in Minnesota, because he gets dizzy from all of his international espionage travels.

Maybe he's just senile.

Put me on iggy if I'm such an annoying snot-nosed brat. Then maybe we can see your delightful passive-agressive posts on more threads.

Stay beautiful, Pilot.

Who said you had to live in Minnesota all of your life? You don't need a passport to go from state to state in the United States, you know.

I figure that as soon as you see the possibility of getting that college diploma you'll decide everyone in Minnesota is too dumb to have you in their presence and will be moving on.

(What's delicious out of this is the thought that you don't see yourself as ever moving out of the state you grew up in. )
