That's what the counter-culture was all about. You make your own decisions about how to live your own life, not what society nor the establishment imposes on you. Good luck, best wishes.
yeah. other people's kids are completely uninteresting to me after a couple of seconds. i like to see if i can get a smile from them, but other than that, no. they always ask me "do you want to hold him/her?" "um...no." i think it'll be different once i manage to keep my kids from crawling up my ass 24/7, but until then, i want no part of anyone else's baby. unless it's really really cute.
yeah.. the whole thing is so unfair. if I was a science genius I'd dedicate my life to finding a solution to that problem.
if they did, you know they'd figure out a way to make it painless, beautiful and not leave any scars or stretch marks.
My father actually bought me a scale for a wedding present! I guess so I wouldn't get fat. Too bad, I did gain weight... I weigh 4 pounds more than when I got married.
If I give birth one day, my significant other won't be allowed in the room. I don't want them to be disgusted with me. I've heard too many men say how traumatized they were and how their sex life just never was the same afterwards.
Oh they'd definately be traumatized. Trust me. I've been there and seen it. And I am still not ready to talk about it.
Thats the ideal female perspective on the matter. Lets those of us who would be out in the waiting room with all the other new dads either way off the hook.
Marriage is just a way for brainwashed people to feel they belong somewhere and to have something to show for within their little circle.
dave just HAD to be there. we were there when his sister was giving birth. i swear, the place looked like a theater. it was stupid. but after my water broke i went into massive convulsions and his hair nearly turned grey. he was getting really pissed with all the nurses, since he'd known most of them for years (his mom works there), especially the one who told me i couldn't POSSIBLY be having one long vicious contraction because the monitor said i wasn't even having a contraction right then. i told her she was a stupid twat and to check it with her hand. then she checked, then called the doctor. no more pain meds for me, either, because my baby was in severe distress. Kairin means : in the nick of time.
Hmmmm.......it didnt bother me. I helped out in any way I could when my son was born, and it was the most beautiful moment I've ever been involved in.
Good for you. But I am still traumatized. I've seen so many dead people and I've touched them and cut them. But this was a lot worse.
