Annoyed

Annoyed is a difficult way for me to say this. Please no one be offended.

 

There are numerous girls 6-7 that I went to high school with. (I graduated in 07). They are pregnant. I can't help but feel as though they aren't going to properly appreciate what has been given to them.

The majority of us on this board, will go through some many up's and down's ttc. I just wish that for a couple moments these girls could really appreciate what they have. Rather than carrying them around as some cute accesory.

It makes me sick.

Re: Annoyed

  • I'm completely with ya on this one. While there are some great young parents out there who truly appreciate their children it is sickening watching some of them get to be parents not to mention horrible parents when all they did was hop in the back seat for a one night stand.  I would love to tell you it is less likely to happen as you get older but i graduated in 04 and still come across girls from school who are now pregant and can only really appreciate their children as an accessory.

     

  • I hate to disagree with you, and I will also preface this by saying 1) I'm not offended, and 2) I know you're just venting. But I think that's really unfair. Just because someone can conceive easily and for free doesn't mean that they don't truly appreciate their children! I have several friends with kids and I can tell you that the ones who had kids "the old fashioned way" and with no trouble are just as loving and grateful as my friend Jeff, who probably had the roughest road of all - a single gay man. He adopted internationally and it took YEARS and tens of thousands of dollars and a lot of red tape and proving himself "worthy." He's a great dad but his struggle doesn't make anybody else's child less precious to them.?

  • I was speaking in terms of people who obviously don't appreciate your thier children. Maybe I should of posted better.
