please take a moment...
to read this blog- but only if you dislike children in public as much as i do. i don't have children for a reason- because i thought about it. this, apparently, is not a pre-requisite to procreation- and we all reap the 'benefit' of too many idiots giving birth. to be fair, it really isn't the kid's fault- it is the parent's fault for not teaching them how to behave in social settings- and for not setting limits. hey, if you want your darling little house ape to set the living room curtains on fire- be my guest. just don't inflict little johnny or janey's poor behavior on the rest of us. believe it or not- there are adults in the world who enjoy adult things- and not every place on the planet has to be kid-friendly. that is why i don't go to playgrounds or chuck e. cheese or amusement parks. that's why children should not be in fine restaurants or movie theaters or bars- unless they are old enough or bambi is playing. so- news flash to the world- not everyone enjoys your children. if you love them- teach them. don't just throw them over your shoulder and tote them around like a new handbag.

the problem isn't bad people- most people want to love their children and make them productive members of society. the problem is that adults make decisions based on what they want- not on what's best- hence failed marriages, poorly managed finances, poorly behaved kids. people have children because they want them- not because they have thought through the level of committment or amount of teaching that is involved. they look at children as extensions of their lifestyle- get married, have a big home, get a dog, have kids. it's what you do as part of the 'american dream'- at least here in america. people wear their children and show them off like they would a new gucci bag. they live vicariously through their children and consequently- the children are supposed to behave as an adult. except- they don't know how because the stupid parents haven't taught them. the kids want limits and structure but that's too much effort for the parents- who apparently are out dining and doing whatever it was they were doing before they had children. children are supposed to change your life- not become an accessory to it.
