I am afraid this is what lurks in the space where a heart should be in the modern feminist mother.. God help or children.. The truth really hurts, some of us.. :(

[Fury]

Another story about a Lib who thinks "It all about Meeee!"

[Rummyfan]

Am I a lazy, superficial person

YES!

[RightOnline]

Just a self-centered bitch who should never, ever have given birth to children. Period.

What a waste of skin.

[trisham]

Am I a lazy, superficial person

**************

In a word, yes.

[dfwgator]

Am I a lazy, superficial person because I don't enjoy packing up their sports kit, or making their lunch, or sitting through coffee mornings with other mothers discussing how Mr Science (I can't remember most of the teachers' names) said such and such to Little Johnny and should we all complain to the headmaster.

YES!

[lormand]

I cannot wait to get home and love on my 7 and 4 year old.

I wish I could spend the whole summer with them.

My daughter hides from me everytime I arrive from work, and I chase her a few times around the couch before catching her.

Hopefully Liberals will breed themselves out, then civilization will again flourish and be free.

[dfwgator]

Hey Helen, I'm sure your children think you are a bore too, b!tch.

[TNCMAXQ]

How sad for the children of the author. Why did she have children at all?

[the invisib1e hand]

no stomach for this crap. people like this are lucky I'm not king and can't banish them to a life of celibacy in Siberia.

[carlo3b]

My happiest memories are moments when I watched my kids play.. I am so sorry for these empty vessels.. Maturity, for them will be Hell..

[svcw]

I cry for these children. There is nothing that my children and now grandchildren have ever done that has bored me. Every single day they are a joy and delight.

[polymuser]

She'll die alone.

[Drew68]

The nanny was dispatched in my place, and almost always returned complaining that my son had been singled out for pitiful stares by the other mothers.

I think these kids are probably better off being raised by the nanny.

[HungarianGypsy]

I homeschool my kids, so I admit I like it when I get my free time, but it only takes me a few hours recharge time before I miss them. Boring? I sometimes wish they were boring. Last night the power went off and my younger ones would not stop talking. LOL!

There are women who's posts I have read on other threads who say they prefer the school year so they can have their free time, or complain about holidays and summer holiday. They say they want to do things for themselves and not involve their children.

[timsbella]

I echo each of your sentiments. Though I find my work enjoyable and fulfilling, it the end it's just time spent between being with my family - the real reward.

Is this lady in for a surprise or what when they choose her nursing home and don't want to listen to her boring recount of the shuffleboard tournament.

[Michael.SF.]

Found a picture of the father:

[Sax]

Not to sound like a hallmark card, but the love from a small child heals your soul.

[HungarianGypsy]

I should have verified, I meant other boards. Not other threads.

[dfwgator]

Yep, my kids are a lot of things, boring sure ain't one of them.
