FB Status
Which is worse
"here's to parents who aren't inconvenienced by their children, who don't regard it as being stuck at home with the baby when they can't go out every night. WHo value time with their children. WHo DON'y pawn their children off as often as they can to whoever will take them and accept responsibility and ENJOY being a parent if you agree repost this as your status" by a 35 y.o. woman who I've never seen post a status that is not some boring factoid about her kids and still curls her bangs a la 1989.

I stumble on the things that I don't know. I have weaknesses that I must finally show, so lend me your hand and we can defeat them all, lend me your heart and I will just let you fall. Lend me your eyes and I can change what you see, but your soul you must keep totally free. By a 36 year old bodybuilder who owns a "supplements" store.
Re: FB Status
I vote option A. Just because you go out doesn't mean you don't enjoy your children. Just because you don't live in a land of rainbows and puppies, doesn't mean you arn't a good parent.
It's almost as annoying as the "I do this and this and this and never get any thanks because I'm a mom" crap. You're not a super hero for getting knocked up.
The first is the worse because it encourages participation in the self righteousness.
The second one just conjures an image of someone smearing lipstick on their face while crying "no one understands me".

Numero uno - she's clearly a better parent than I am. Have you shared FB updates from dude #2 before? He sounds familiar.
#2 makes me laugh and hide my eyes behind my fingers.
Sometimes I suspect parents like #1 don't actually like their kids all that much, otherwise they wouldn't feel the need to crow about how much time they spend with them and would let themselves actually get out every so often.
I bet #2 likes to get his swoll on.
"The meek shall inherit the earth" isn't about children. It's about deer. We're all going to get messed the fuckup by a bunch of cloned super-deer.- samfish2bcrab
Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
I'm glad your mind went there too. It's all about the swoll.

Mind meld. I briefly wondered if Sam and Cristi have a mutual friend.
