YOUR EGGS ARE DRYING UP SINGLE LADIES! articles) and I came to the realization of something:<br /><br />This is all a way to make people inadequate about their life decisions to get them to BUY MORE STUFF.<br /><br />Think about it. If you're a mom, dissatisfied with your life, BUY SOMETHING TO MAKE YOUR KID PLAY MORE QUIETLY! Single and childless? BUY SHOES TO FORGET ABOUT YOUR LACK OF FAMILY LIFE!<br /><br />I'll admit I'm simplifying slightly, but I can't help but stare at these article and where they appear with a bit of suspicion. I just hate that they're taking something complex and turning it into something where you buy shit or feel like you SHOULD BE HAPPIER DAMMIT.Vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07143093739225121136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541804.post-34209465469928397302010-07-07T17:15:12.199-05:002010-07-07T17:15:12.199-05:00I kind of want to tell the woman in the New York M...I kind of want to tell the woman in the New York Magazine article to STFU! Boo hoo, having kids is hard. Really? Because I always thought it was a piece of cake and want to have more than Michelle Duggar does!!<br />I don't have kids but I do know what it's like to have that kind of responsibility for someone else. Having responsibility is no fun. That's why I think fondly of when I was growing up and could sit reading or playing to my heart content because the big stuff in life was someone else's problem. But as an adult, you make choices and you live with them. And sometimes, things can seem very complicated and hard because we make them that way. <br /><br />As for not having kids, well that's a personal choice and sometimes our life doesn't go the way we want it to. I mean, I always thought I might have a child or two at this stage, but that was not my path in life. I might have them yet, I don't know. But with all the work that goes into them, I don't think they'd be the stuff that happiness is made of. My mother likes to say that when I was a child, she was happiest when I was asleep. Remembering me as a child, she has a valid point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
