Oh, go fuck yourself, lady!

Dear Psycho,
Just because you had some squealing, shrieking, ungrateful brat come tearing out of your fetid vagina and into the cold, cruel world for the sole purpose of sucking the very life from you while making the lives of those around you absolutely fucking miserable doesn't give you any sort of moral high ground, you elitist, selfish, ugly, frigid, humorless, judgemental, pathetic, evil, cuntish, psycho bitch-mom from hell you!
You don't know everything. You're not always right. Your opinion isn't the only one that matters. Your judgement is not final. You can rationalize your shift to the conservative dark side as the result of giving birth all you want, I still think you're full of shit every moment you yack on and on about other people's private lives because your life post-baby is a shadow of what it used to be, and you gab and blather nonstop just to get people to pay you some fucking atttention instead of the baby, goddamnit!
Shut up. Seriously. Just shut the fuck up with your childish, chickenheaded yammer, you cliquish, gossipy, backstabbing little bitch. Don't you have a stinky, shit-filled diaper somewhere to go change?
And here's something else that will wipe that self-righteous smirk right off your stress-lined fright-mask of a face, you hypocritical PTA cockbiter: to some people, carrying a kid on your hip positively screams, "I'm proof my mom loves to fuck... bareback!" Choke on that creampie, queen bee.

I've discovered over the last few years that, because I'm single and child-free, I'm apparently a baby-eating ogre.
You see, a bunch of mothers on one of the message boards I regularly lurk around got up in arms not too long ago. They took umbrage with one poster's characterization of his friends --who desperately wanted a child, adamantly refused to adopt through insistence that an adopted child "wouldn't be good enough", and spent more than $50,000 on unsuccessful rounds of in vitro fertilization-- as "selfish". In fact, one new mother went as far as to threaten the poor guy with violence.
I was like, "what the fuck?!?"
Fist of all, he made a judgement call on people with whom he's presumably well-enough acquainted. He's entitled. Who the fuck are these screeching shrews to defend two assholes they've never even met? One harangued him for daring to pass judgement on the "miracle of birth". Collectively, they acted as if he'd ass-raped their beloved dog before dropping his pants and taking a shit on the coffee table.
I ask you: If childbirth is so miraculous, how is it that it manages to happen tens of thousands of times a day? Show me a weeping statue of the Virgin Mary that has that kind of activity. I mean, the heroin addict down the street in my old neighborhood managed to have sex without a condom, get knocked up, and is due to pass a living being through her vagina any day now... is that a miracle too? How (if at all) is it any different from theirs? Does that make her any better than me? Does her opinion on anything and everything suddenly matter more?
And why does almost every new mom act like she's the first person ever to give birth? I mean, fuck... Pol Pot's mother gave birth, too. Fat lot of good that did the world. I understand that as parents, their child becomes the center of their world. And as much of a grump as I can be here, I often go out of my way to accomodate that, even for people I don't know. Smile and act nice, do unto others and all that. But in return, I expect parents to understand that THEIR child is NOT the center of MY world.
And please be satisfied that a verbal slight against someone else's stupid parenting choices or questionable parenting skills is not always a slight against you just because you're a parent. Some parents really need to stop being so defensive about their choices and taking shit like that so goddamned personally. So what if some anonymous internet asshole calls a baby you didn't birth a squealing brat? So fucking what? Your only concern should be with raising YOUR kid(s) the best way you can. Congratulations, you've bred... shut the fuck up, already.
And be thankful outspoken, fuck-happy assholes like myself aren't having any.
Addendum: Welcome to the people coming in from Codewolf. Look around, make yourselves at home.
And to the LiveJournal and Blogger bitch-moms who linked to me: if what I wrote doesn't apply to you, there's really no need for you to defend yourself. Besides, going on a self-righteous defensive tirade only serves to reinforce my point.

As the only single, childless woman of my group of friends, I have one word for you: AMEN!!!
11/7/05 12:49 AM
Oh my God....You're a goddess! It's almost as if childless women (even worse if you're also single) don't count as much. Does giving birth automatically make you self-righteous? Is it some sort of hormonal condition?
This posting deserved honorable mentional in the anals of bloghistory...
11/7/05 4:25 AM
Three cheers Avatar! I know a few mothers whose children should have those t-shirts!
11/7/05 4:46 AM
Well said.
Thank you for that.
11/7/05 6:01 AM
This made me completely laugh my ass off. Oh, and I have kids and have managed, I think, not to self righteous, but then I keep my kids quiet and out of grownup venues.
11/7/05 8:28 AM
Hey, I'm adopted and look how I turned out.
No, wait, better not. I'm probably a pretty good walking billboard for contraception. :D :D :D :D :D
It's funny that you feel the way you do. My wife often feels since she doesn't work outside of the house, she means nothing in today's world. She gets the, "Oh, YOU'RE a stay at home mom" look all the time.
Don't let the feeble minded mothers of the world get to you. It's a waste of YOUR valuable time.
11/7/05 8:30 AM
Not everyone should have kids.
And a hellofalotta folks who DO have kids should not have kids.
Deciding to have them or not have them or adopt them or test-tube them is so heartbreakingly personal that you are really taking a big risk if you criticize anyone else.
But good for you for knowing that you probably don't want them. That is awesome and makes you no less of a woman.
And I do have kids, btw. But having had them does NOT confer automatic goddess status on me.

Lal: Thanks! What is it about giving birth that transforms some women into shrill, self-righteous harpies?
Newyorkmoments: It's gotta be the hormones. Otherwise, I have no explanation for it. Also, you said "anal". Hee!
Nics: Hee! I should sell them; really I should.
Lady K: No worries. I'm always shooting off at the mouth. :-)
Lushlyme: Praise me for decent parents like you. :-)
MrManicDepressive: I think maybe that's whay some of them get insistently vocal the way they do; they probably feel the need to defend their lifestyle as not being a personal failing, whether they need to or not. Which gets old really fast.
Aroused Girl: Just to be cear, he didn't criticise their choice. He criticised their assertion that any child not born of their genes wouldn't be good enough for them to love. That they'd rather spend half their income and half a decade on repeated failures to that end than seek out other options after so many heartbreaks speaks volumes about their priorities.

As a parent of two, I've always told people that having kids aren't necessarily better than not having them. Being married is not necessarily better than being single. The bottom line is - do whatever that suits your lifestyle.
What upsets me are parents who don't know how to raise their kids - who don't teach them well, who don't spend enough time with them - who don't love them.
11/7/05 10:49 AM
well damn...tell us how you really feel...LOL
first: i LOVE the shirt this baby is wearing...i want one for all of my kids... :)
and second: there are some people that just shouldnt have kids...whether they have actually given birth or not...i am proud of you for knowing its not something for you (at this time), and being responsible about it...there are so many who should be doing the same thing...
love this post... :) so wish i could print it out and hand it to a few people...i just dont think they would read it... *sigh*
peace...
11/7/05 11:22 AM
fucking a right.
i love my mom dearly.. but if that bitch reminds me once more that i am a handsome 34 yo man without kids i am going to have to show her the backside of my palm.
11/7/05 12:01 PM
Hey, I want one of those t-shirts! I love fucking bareback. (When, exactly did that become a perversion?) :-)
I know what you mean about that self-righteous thing some parents get. I don't have a lot of patience for it though. On the other hand, I don't have much patience for people who don't get kids. (It provokes the same reflex I get when celibate clergy trying to explain why not havind sex is so much better than having it.)
That said, and being pretty late to the parenthood party anyway, I know what you mean about people who treat children as holy sacrement instead of, well, little humans with all their plusses and minuses.
One of these days (maybe this afternoon?) I'm going to have to post my own rant about the idea that having children a) ruins your life and makes you unfit and unattractive as a sex partner and b) lets you off the hook for sex so that you either don't need to or shouldn't have sex ever again. I swear it's got something to do with the bent and twisted "getting pregnant will ruin your life" think all the 'winger abstinence-only types go on about.
(Sorry if this comment seems a little disjointed. The dang kids slept straight through the night last night so I wound up getting too much sleep instead of a much more managable not enough.)
Nice rant, though.
Take care,
figleaf
11/7/05 12:57 PM
Popfizz, what? You're not miserable? :))
I get kids but I don't get the need for them.
I also don't get that high-pitched ear-splitting screech they make.
It pretty much means your life is OVER, from what I've seen. If you're any good as a parent, that is.
11/7/05 2:58 PM
I am so glad to see someone else shares my viewpoint. I am sick of parents who assume their children are so adorable the world wants to hear their tantrums!
11/7/05 3:43 PM
My. Point. Exactly.
Thank you for putting what I've been thinking for so long into words.
hxgadxm does the trick every time... :oD

I hate it when softie Democrats say, "There's no such thing as a person who is pro-abortion. We want abortion to be safe, legal, and rare."
Not me. I want it to be government funded and free on demand.
11/7/05 6:16 PM
Well, from what I hear (and say this in a John Madden voice), the kids of crack ho's are verry underrated.
:)
Great rant, Avatar! Tomorrow our great (cough) state of Texas goes to the polls to vote on a constitutional amendment to ban same sex marriage. Not that same-sex marriage is legal NOW, just that they don't ever want some "activist judge" deciding that two people trying to live happily together might somehow make the 95% of people that are miserable (married or not) somehow less special. So I guess that's my little rant. If people don't have a happy family, what good will a constitutional amendment do?
11/7/05 6:19 PM
There seems to be two sides to the story:
1. Having a child is the end of your happy existence.
2. You're not really a whole, happy person until you have a child.
Which is it? Both? Neither? Maybe it's just another mundane happening, as you say.
Oh, and being married without children is a whole nother can of worms, too.
11/7/05 8:11 PM
As a junior in high school, the nurse, a friend, told me there were 72 girls pregnant. I told my Father, the craziness would stop with me. I am fertile and have been very cautious about the women I have dated. I have no children, but I have always had women with children. Love kids, don't need to add to the world's problems.
11/7/05 8:18 PM
I hate women who think that because I chose not to have children I am clueless on how they should be raised. I have never stuck my hand into a blowtorch but I know what will happen there. It is not a necessity to procreate to understand child rearing.

Is there an implication for men who are married with wives that have never given birth? Are we broken? Did I miss something somewhere? Missed an important day of school. Am I inferior because my genes aren't going to be perpetrated ad infinitum? Please Av, I need to know, prederably before i dry up and rot. Not that I have an opinon, mind you.
11/7/05 10:27 PM
Ya know, these are the same moms who let themselves go to hell after they have the kid/get married/whatever THEN are shocked and bewildered when their husbands have affairs.
This topic is a "hot button" with me. I am really tired getting that "how sad" look whenever I say I am 34, unmarried, and do not want children. If I wanted to be married and with children, believe me, I have had plenty of chances. They can save the "how sad" face for their bathroom mirror.
11/7/05 11:31 PM
I have friends who have procreated and haven't had that be the end of their lives...They just get wrapped up in the needs of their family (or maybe they found a way to validate themselves). Just as some of my friends get wrapped up in their pets.
Secondly, if being married or having a child validates you, you have some major validity/security/identity issues that a shrink should have visited (pressure much on the spouse or kids?).
And yes, I don't enjoy the pity look when I reveal that I don't have kids or a spouse (presumptuous bitches/bastards).
11/8/05 2:30 AM
oh have mercy, I just about wet myself!! Your rants fuckin rawk..damn!
my 2 best friends just had babies and thankfully they weren't sucked into the vortex of evil mommy from hell, or else I would have been friend-less!
Cheers!
11/8/05 4:39 AM
Dont worry, those moms tend to raise the worst teenagers. Then all our grieves will be repaid with interests.(insert evil laugh)
11/8/05 7:57 AM
amen sister!
I have one girl go on and on about not being able to have a child, the 'natural' way and cried and cried. I never met her before.
And, I'm adopted.
Deal.

This is one reason I loathe those pro-life idiots who don't care about the QUALITY of life for parents or kids when they have unwanted babies. It's a huge responsibility--children are not fashion accessories. It seems either parents abuse and neglect their kids, or act as if their child is the Second Coming. Of course I'm exaggerating, but anyway...love your rant and those t-shirts are priceless!
11/8/05 12:04 PM
Your rant is awesome! How come the child that develops in her uterus is so special, but all the kids in foster care aren't? Friends of mine adopted two little girls from a seriously fucked up background and have given them all the love and support they never got as infants. I think they are a lot more worthy of walking on water than any person who looks down on you because you are childless (while you stare at the baby-shit stain on their shirt).
The best commercial I ever saw was a French one in which a little kid goes nuts in the store because his dad won't buy him candy. The kid shoves people, knocks over displays, and screams his head off. The last shot shows the dad's very tired face, and the slogan "Wear condoms"
11/8/05 3:08 PM
Carl from LA: That upsets me, too. There needs to be childrearing classes or active discouragement of those who don't know how. Whichever works.
Monkey: You could anonymously e-mail it to them.
Popfizz: Whoa.
Figleaf: it wasn't disjointed at all. And thank you for that.
Pisser: That's why I endorse the R&D for a child-muzzle.
Crazy.Spoiled.Blitch: Hear, hear.
Momentarily Distracted: Thanks. And nice phrase.
Cynical Girl: Ha! I SO agree!
Silly Old Bear: Aaah... remember the good old days of separation of church and state? Me neither.
Deodand: Agreed.
69 Pickup: I applaud your well-thought-out decisiveness, and wish more people would do the same.
Monty: I have no idea.
Crazy.Spoiled.Blitch: I think that wizened sad face is their default after weary years of misguided demon spawn rearing.
Bullet Proof Diva: You got lucky. People who undergo such profound life changes tend to isolate themselves wholly, and then wake up years later wondering where the fuck they've been, they're so diconnected from the outside.
Isil: That's small comfort; it'd be better if the teens were only nasty to the parents, but they tend to be nasty to everyone else as well.
Assistant K: You rock.
Elvira Black: Oh, I know... my hatred of self-righteous pro-lifers who fail to see the bigger picture runs so deep, it'd take forever to fathom it.

Posting late on this, but never fear, Av, my absence from my own blog has been to finish school and a book, and I shall be back soon. However, I hit your site multiple times a day throughout my absence.
As anyone who reads my blog knows, I'm a mom of several, wife to one, kink loving sex toy of a woman. My choices are my own. I love it when people fawn over my adorable children. It happens often. Mostly b/c I tend to frequent (when with my kids) places that are family oriented.
Then I have "date night" where *everything* must be childfree. I understand a lot of people enjoy time kidfree, so I abstain from dragging my kids to adult venues.
I also respect and admire anyone who is comfortable in their circumstances. Have kids, don't, I don't give a flying f. Just be prepared to accept that either way people are gonna judge you harshly. It's the nature of the beast.
hypocrits and bullies piss me off in any circumstances. These mothers who judge others by their own yardstick are typically feeling the crunch of "what if?" It's easier to believe your own rhetoric if you spout it loudly and often, hence their need to boldly critique your life choices. Otherwise, they might dream of trading in their "Team Snack Saturday's" for your cock blogging wednesdays. Bigtime love.

I think I love coming here just for your imaginative cursing. You'd make a sailor blush. Love it.
11/8/05 5:41 PM
Cheers! You could not be more right. You did leave out one group, the intelligent, wonderful friends of ours that suddenly become quite stupid now that they have had children.
Case in point: Brilliant, funny, articulate Ph.D. friend that could talk about EVERYTHING under the sun had a baby and now our conversations are 20 minute chats about whether or not her daughter has taken a shit today.
She has crossed over to the dark side...
11/13/05 10:16 AM
Wonderful blog post. We are surrounded by women who think we are shit because we are too selfish to have kids, and men who are scared because we are better than them at everything. Nice comment on the former.
2/26/08 9:08 AM
Ok this blog should be posted next to EVERY "a baby changes everything" billboard! I JUST posted a blog about this on my myspace because a woman i work with was "offended" and "severly hurt and bothered" at my not wanting children. Im sure youve heard it as much as i have "youll change your mind, youll see." or "i said tht when i was your age" First of all who are these women that know whats best for women like us and our life styles? Is our judgement not good enough? Are we being rash and immature in our though processes?? We could be one of those "heroin addicts" that introduces our unwanted spawn to a dumpster at 5 minutes old!!! I am happily married, happily selfish, and 100% delighted that i dont have kids. If i could remove every trace of child making machinery from my undercarriage i would in a heart beat, and that makes me a nazi?? I think not!!! You get a huuuge "you go girl!!!" and many kudos from me and many many other women who feel the same and are crusified for it!
