Why wouldn't this idiot have gotten her tubes tied? It sounds like she's going to kill the little girl if someone doesn't intervene. What a horrible situation for a defenseless baby to be in.

[woofie]

Tell her to wait a while, the kid will grow up and hate her back

[Talking_Mouse]

I admire her for not having an abortion when she admits she does not want children. I sincerely hope that she and her husband can agree to give this child up for adoption. It will be better for all three of them.

[Dustbunny]

This letter makes no sense. She does not want the child and her husband does not want the child. So why are they both punishing the child by not allowing her to be adopted?

[Cedar]

This is not normal. She needs help.

Dear Abby gave this woman terrible advice. I would advise her to take the baby immediately to the nearest hospital and leave the child there, with or without her husband's consent. Do it while Mr. Dickhead is out of the house. Most states these days have some version of the law that allows parents to just drop off their unwanted infants rather than have the kid wind up dead in a dumpster somewhere.

After telling this chick to bring the baby to the nearest hospital and drop her off, I'd then tell her that she is one of the most selfish bitches it's ever been my misfortune to encounter. She and her husband both deserve each other, but they better both go get themselves fixed so they can't have more kids. Scum. Absolute scum!

The poor child. Not only colicky but probably feeling the lack of love from the parents.

[Paperdoll]

Someone please call Children's Services. Quick!

[GLH3IL]

Someone needs some quality time at the funny farm, and that baby needs a lifetime with a family that will raise her with all the love she needs.

[CindyDawg]

I know I shouldn't have but I laughed about the part that "he can't stand her either" Stressed out moms tend to have col icy babies who can make the most caring mothers cry and depressed. 3 months of sleep deprivation, and screaming, and this woman (if she is for real) had issues to begin with. Hopefully soon, a time will come when she and the baby make eye contact and their souls bond. I wonder if she can go home to family awhile. My DIL had a hard time with her first. My son was deployed and we had enough concerns that we went and got them. Between the two of us my granddaughter still wore us both out. The only thing that worked was a car ride. My DIL still laughs about the 2am what a burger runs:')

[calcowgirl]

... I can barely hide my revulsion. ... My husband can't stand her either...

I'm speechless.

[dandelion]

My God, how could someone hate a little BABY?

Someone needs to call CPS - this is a case where the parents would probably give the baby up willingly. I'm just shocked that anyone would think speak about a child - anyone's child, but especially their own - that way. This is truly repugnant. She's repulsed by a baby? I'm repulsed by *her*.

I really don't know if this woman's husband "can't stand the baby" either; methinks she may be excusing her own behavior by saying her husband feels the same way as she does. Of course, that is just my opinion...

Wow, nelly. First of all, I was once a young lady who swore I didn't want children. But then my husband and I did become pregnant and we were so happy we probably drove folks crazy with our joy. LOL

This woman is not alone in her feelings for her child. I didn't experience that, but I've read enough to know that it does happen. Should she have had her tubes tied BEFORE she even knew how she would react? I think she is hormonal, and with counseling, love and support, she'll be just fine. Of course one worries about the baby, but if she is reaching out, she's already realizing that she needs help. God bless her and help her in her time of need, and God keep the baby safe.

To call her an "idiot" is....well, cruel and totally without compassion, IMO.

[Ruth A.]

She's in the military, then she should see the doctor about postpartum depression. There should be other helps available if she contacts her omsbudman (or the appropriate title for whichever branch her husband is in). The gal should know that she needs help.

Many doctors won't perform a tubal on a 26 year old woman without children- they are afraid the woman will change her mind and sue the doctor.

Not "sounds like".She is going to kill the little girl if
someone doesn't get her out of there.
The letter to Abby is a cry for help and part of her alibi.

[buffyt]

I would take the baby and I know a lot of other people who would, too. I planned my first two babies and the third one was a "surprise". The best little surprise present I ever got from Heaven. His name means Gift From God. He is grown now. Our mothers and grandmothers didn't have the luxury of planning their families. They didn't have the pill, etc. They just got married and had babies. My great grandfather had 16! Eight with his first wife and eight more with his second wife. Good thing the bitch in the article didn't live back then. She could have had 20 kids to hate. My three adult children are my joy in life.

[GeronL]

This sounds like a horribly spoiled woman who does deserve the title of adult.

[GeronL]

NOT deserve the title of adult

[Dallas59]

Because....I AM NOT ONE OF YOUR FANS!!!!

I know it's wrong on soooo many levels, but still funny..

[Alberta's Child]

Ten bucks says this letter isn't even real. I think it's been pretty well established that "Ask Ann Landers" and "Dear Abby" have been publishing fake letters for years just for dramatic effect.
