When letting your kids out of your sight becomes a crime – The Washington Post
I used to be a bleeding heart liberal like most of my musician friends and other creative colleagues. I USED TO…until I was dragged through the hell of “family court.” It was my experience there and my never ending battles…
The craving for a baby that drives women to the ultimate deception
Liz Jones makes her most shocking confession yet By Liz Jones for The Mail – Originally posted HERE: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2056875/Liz-Jones-baby-craving-drove-steal-husbands-sperm-ultimate-deception.html Anyone who meets me, or reads what I write, would think I don’t like children and never wanted to be a mother.…
I Love Men, But I’m Thinking of Having a Baby Without One
Another selfish woman…another fatherless child. Sad. From Yahoo.com… On the best days of my life, and the cruelest hours of the night, I have always had an inner-meditation: I am excited about the future. However, this summer, when I turned…
The World’s Toughest Job
Here is a different take on that silly viral video that was an advertisement for greeting cards…a thing that I DETEST anyway.
Motherhood is NOT the most difficult job. It’s not even a job. Neither is fatherhood. The thing is, parenting is not a job at all. It has some things in common with a job, but it’s a whole different thing altogether. As parents, we don’t get paid, we can’t quit if we get angry or pissed off, we can’t look around for better parenting jobs, we can’t sue our employer. In fact, we don’t even have an employer! We don’t have the option of not taking our work home with us when we don’t want to, we don’t receive any training, etc.
So to start with, the whole idea of parenthood being a job is nonsense from the beginning. Then, to go on and on with exaggerating the amount of work and expertise needed to be a parent, it not only creates guilt on the part of parents, it also makes it seem like the best parents are the ones who treat their kids as helpless and endangered for as long as possible. The quicker we raise self-sufficient, self-reliant human beings, the better. It is better for parents, better for children and better for society in general.
I can see through the nonsense of bullshit advertisement schemes and I hope that you do too in the future.

Does Modern Matrimonial Law Represent “The Best Interests Of The Children?”
I found this on a site recently and had to re-post. A great commentary on the reality we live in. Why do we allow 1960’s laws to exist in 2013? Paternity Law. Does One Size Fit the Best Interest of…
