I'm smart enough to know that I would be a shitty parent, and that puts me quantum leaps ahead of douche bags who raise little annoying turds thinking they are heroes for squirting out a miniature versions of themselves.

Two mentally retarded people can have children. Does that make them experts? By the logic of the raaraa parent cheerleader club, it does. I guess you have to be a bodybuilder to teach a bodybuilding, too. I guess you have to be a politician to have an opinion of the job your representative is doing. Oh no, common decency and consideration for other people means nothing. You have to do it to have an opinion.

If a barking dog keeps you up at night and shits in your yard, you have no recourse if you aren't a dog owner, also? That is what you breeders sound like. Bunch of self righteous sanctimonious fuckheads. God damn I hate parents.

I like that. When it comes to women, all men are really just shooting in the dark. Any man who tells you he truly understands women is lying through his teeth. Within the mystery lies the meaning.

I do understand Kelju's frustration with people who procreate and think the responsibility ends there. For the rest of us, parenting is a frightening, challenging, endless series of educated guesses and often clueless guesswork. But the main thing is that the kids never forget that we are trying our best, and that no matter what we care about them and want the best for them. Which is why limits have to be set and rules need to be followed. Parental limits are a form of love that let children know that the parents care. The kids I work with that are in the most trouble are inevitably young people who had no parent at home setting any limits on their behavior. Parenting is an inexact science, but the most important piece of the puzzle IMHO is simply making sure that the child always knows that they have at least one person in their lives who cares, and is willing to make the tough decisions because it is in the best interest of the young person. Armed with that, most kids overcome our bumbling and fumbling efforts as parents and turn out fine.
