I Don’t Want to Marry a Man Who Will Feed Our Kid McDonald’s

Ideas.

Am I cursing my future children to a life of being social outcasts because mommy wants to feed them green smoothies?

Right now, there are at least a handful of people who I KNOW will never babysit my imaginary, yet-to-be born child. As far as they’re concerned, my baby will be more under wraps than “Blanket” Jackson was. Yes, I want nothing more than to have a full stock of potential babysitters, but sometimes these people—my friends—say things that make me get the Scooby Doo face.

“Your kids ain’t gon have any friends!”

“I’m going to feed your kids McDonald’s when you’re not around.”

“I feel sorry for your children…”(continued)

And clearly she is not the kind to want a ‘real’ man in her life. She wants a doormat.

Good luck with that...

She’s kinda got that ‘Edith Prickley’ (Andrea Martin) look going on with those spectacles.
And an Elizabethan touch with that ‘5’ forehead.
But she’s all that with her solid endorsement of Frau Goebbels Feed Description for Institutionaled Minors!

I love listening to people talk about what they are not going to do with THEIR kids.

It is so much fun to see their ivory towers crumble around them with each child, with each school year, with middle school, and then high school.

At one point you find yourself grateful that your kids class was the first one to sing at the Christmas Concert, only to have her puke up the cookies right after her performance. You get “credit” for going, but you can leave early.

Am I cursing them to a life of being social outcasts because mommy wants to feed them green smoothies and use unsweetened almond milk in their gluten-free cereal? I bet the little girl I saw drinking blue juice and eating a bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos before 8 a.m. has LOTS of friends to go with her early onset diabetes. Don’t I want that for my children?

Yeah, because those are the only two options. Must be an Obama voter to build a straw man like that.

There is some evidence that exposure to germs at an early age builds the immune system.

Some kids that live antiseptic childhoods have immune system problems later, like allergies (an overreaction by the immune system).

In 1948-49, our family doctor gave my mother this same advice. I still remember my mother’s astonished reaction.

More like a combined "Straw Man" and "False Dilemma" fallacy.

Ten years from now, when she is sitting in her local McDonald’s with her bare feet up on the chair, while her three screaming kids beat up people on the top level of the Playland, I hope she re-reads this drivel and has a good laugh.

That is the point where I stopped reading, she has no credibility to write about the matter of what she will or will not do with her kids. When and if she has a baby, she might find herself making decisions such as going to McDonalds on some days. Then again she might give the kid a vegan diet growing up, and when he is in college he eats McDonalds several times a week. BTW, she considers a father to be a babysitter?

I'm of the belief that if germs really exist, no one would live past the age of two

Oh, germs exist. I just decided they're good for you. Makes your kids have strong immune systems.
