I wish Krissalee was around to change the title of this thread now that we have all merged! Who cares who is married and who is not
And you know what irks me, the fact that the word child-hater has been thrown around so much on the CF threads lately.
I have -a lot- of friends on the DIS and (my **** friends too
) who are moms- I would say 99% of the people I talk to are moms! To me, it sucks that just b/c I (or any of us) am on the CF thread, that I am somehow branded as a child-hater!
I admit- I do not want children, I do not hate them , but, I do not go out of my way to......interact with them just b/c they are...there. I have no reason to. I just do not find them as interesting as some people do
With that said- I have a lot of friends who have kids, I am nice to their kids, I talk to their kids- but that is b/c I know their parents. I am interacting with their parents, so I interact with the children.
It is the same with the people I know on the Dis- if they talk about their kids, or show a pic- I will comment, b/c I know them. I would not be rude. If it is right there in my face- I will comment. But, say, I see a poster who has a pic of their child in their siggy- I will not go out of my way to make a comment about the pic on my own- b/c 99% of the time, if I see a random pic of a child- to me, it is......void. I do not see kids like parents do.
If I see a random child (like at the Gyns office), to me, there is no reason to interact with the child. It is not IN me to do that all that coochy coo stuff. I would rather, watch the TV- and BTW- I did find out something very interesting before the child came over to me......DID YOU KNOW.....that after you take a shower you have to moisturize w/in 3 minutes or else the water will dry up on your skin and there goes your window of opportunity?! OK- A-D-D break, back on track...
If we go out somewhere and there is a child I also see.....void.....UNLESS the child is making a scene- it is then put in my face- and I take notice, THAT is why I comment on a child's behavior, b/c it is blatantly put ...right out there.
So- if THAT makes me a child-hater in some people's eyes so be it-
What I am trying to say is.....
JUST B/C I DO NOT WANT TO PLAY PEEK-A-BOO WITH A CHILD DOES NOT MEAN THAT I AM GOING TO BE MEAN TO YOUR CHILD!
