Fuck that shit. They should sue. Because you know if it was some white women, not only would they receive payouts in the millions, there would be at 3 mother fucking congressional hearing on the matter.

Congratulations, you’ve correctly identified the joke in her post! Now make sure you never let anyone say it about women!
Way to oversimplify mental illness.
True. My mom’s family is all Italian. I got cash. My dad’s family is mostly WASPy. They gave me stuff from my registry. It’s good to have a registry for that reason, but I’ll always give cash at weddings.
That being said, NEVER EVER EVER EVER ASK FOR CASH IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. Including Honeymoon registries. The…
That just makes me want to clutch my pearls. Giving cash at a wedding is so tacky. But seriously, culturally that is a big no no in the WASPy Main Line community I grew up in.
Oh, absolutely. It was a lifesaver for me, that I had two close friends whose kids were about the same age as mine (and who got along with my kids).
I also wonder if they never spent time around people who had kids prior to having their own. I know a someone who just recently had a baby and she seems surprised at the amount of care, attention and time they need. And how exhausting it can be. I don't have any children but if I do decide to breed in the future…
I've already decided my future kids are not going to be in 10,000 activities. Maybe a couple, but honestly, I think unstructured time is so underrated and so important. And I am far far too lazy to schlepp my kids around seven days a week.
I wonder if all these people regret having kids because they don't LET THEM ALONE for a minute.
Yeah, no guarantees. My grandmother lost both her kids, and I'm an only child, so in a slightly different scenario she might not have anyone.
Men like that piss me off. You determine the gender, assholes!
And you survived! Good for you, and good riddance to the sperm donor.
I felt so cold and unhappy after reading that. My father was very open about not wanting me because I am female. Being unwanted is a horrible thing to bear.
The one about the parent hating their son could have been written by my father. He was so hell-bent on not having a girl, he made my mother have an abortion. Twice. When she found out she was having me, she hid my gender until the day I was born hoping he'd come around. He didn't.
Yea you're right. While a lot of them are funny to totally relatable, the confessions of mother's who hate their children seem rather sad instead of funny. I couldn't imagine the sadness and emptiness those mother's must feel and I wonder if it affects how they interact with their children.
I just read a FB post from a mom who misses her 4 month old at night now that she's put the baby in her own room. It isn't the first time I've read those kinds of posts, and I'm always like, "For real?!?! Is that a real feeling that parents have?" I have two kids, and I never felt that way about them.
I knew it! Reproduction is a trap encouraged only by the most primitive parts of the brain.
The "I hate my son" one isn't funny at all; it's heartbreaking. And the "I regret having them every single day" one, over the beautiful photo of those adorable little boys, is incredibly sad as well. In fact, I find most of these more sad than funny. I think these women must be in a lot of pain to put these posts up…
Honestly most parents I know IRL, say this stuff to me all the time. That they love their kids, but if they could take it back.... When we tell them we don't want kids, they say, "Good... DON'T DO IT!".
That tweet one is interesting. I read through my sons twitter (vigilant dad) and I see tweets from a girl who lives down the street whose parents I know very well. She is a complete asshole. Foul mouthed, mean and generally shitty. Im sure her mother has absolutely no idea...
