Wow..........now this has to be the first time I've ever heard someone saying having a child isn't a blessing. I'm not exactly crazy about kids.........and can't stand some of them, because of their behavior, but still, there are some kids that I just adore and think to be the cutest little things. To be quite honest, that statement made me quite sad. To a parent, a child is their pride and joy.....a little person for whom they went through so much to get. If you don't like kids, that is fine, but to say kids aren't blessings to their parents is worse than someone saying pets aren't a blessing to those that love them. I know some people who talk about kids more than I would like to listen, but I wouldn't complain about them talking about something that means so much to me. I like to talk about my pets because they mean the world to me. No doubt, those children mean more than mountains of gold to their parents.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I just cannot be excited for someone when they've added yet another human being to an already atrociously overpopulated planet. The way I see it - a child is just another mass consumer of our already depleted natural resources.
Maybe their child means something to them, and that's great - I'm happy for them. But I can't honestly say that same child means anything to me. What's more, I refuse to pretend that I care when I really don't. Maybe that makes me heartless, but oh well... I am what I am.
I never expect people to get all excited over my pets. If they do then great. If they don't... that's their problem.
My pets mean the world to me - and that's all that should matter.
