Answer 1

Hey, Marco!

I laughed all the way through Mr. Walker's essay! I liked the Baby Suit, particularly. I've bookmarked it.

Being a good humorous piece, there was a lot of truth in it; I must agree with the overall points.

I've felt exactly this way all my life, and never could bring myself to make one of ...*them*. Being female, I'm seen as something not quite human. I am impervious to Baby Love, true, but I don't hate kids. Just the noise, the smells (none of them good), the spasmodic jerking, the messes, and, did I mention the noise? Oh, yes, there's also the unspoken communication from the parents that you surely must agree that their infant, above all other infants, is an achievement of substance.

All this would be moot if it were not the current fashion to drag the thing everywhere mom & dad go, whether it's minature golf or a round of drinks at the club or a weekend at Aspen. The parents will look you right in the eye and tell you they can't afford a babysitter. It's enough to make a cat laugh.

Older kids can be a delight; by older, I mean kids who can either conceal or clean up their own noxious messes, sit up straight, and carry on a conversation. I'm lucky to know several such children, and I welcome their company, and let them eat off the good china, along with the adults.

But, I wish the visiting parents would kindly leave the babies at home with the sitter, where they can squall, puke and twitch all night, unseen, until they improve with age.


Boy, am I going to get negative points for THIS!



P.S. In my family, a child was not taken to a restaurant until he could read the menu, and order for himself without assistance. My parents felt that was a guarantee that the child would not disrupt others' dinners.

Answer 2

You aren't a parent are you??? As a parent let me explain this ok. I am proud of my children. I do my best as a single mother to teach my children the right path. I teach them self respect, morals, and to treat others with respect. When they were babies, I took them everywhere with me, even to college classes, and they were quiet most of the time, and when not, we left, plain and simple, my college profs knew the situation and was most helpful in letting me have makeup work. But both of my children can honestly say they have already been to college hehe. They both want to get their degrees and make something out of themselves because I have shown them by example as well as words of wisdom. Are my children ugly, I pray not, do they act up in public, unfortunately, sometimes they do, and they are 15 and 8 years old. Goes to show ya, even the best behaved children in the world can test the patience of Job.

Answer 3

Sorry, Marco, but after reading your link, I can't say that I agree with you. I tried, really I did ... but just couldn't get there from here. Remember, you were once one of those "ugly little crying babies" and you probably enjoyed being out in public. Just go with it dude, and don't let such microscopic, tiny little things bother you. You've got much bigger fish to fry, yes?

Answer 4

Why do you ask such a rude and disrespectful question? you, also, were one of those crying babies, and I don't know about anyone else, but my sister and I were the most beautful babies ever, and my mom tells me I NEVER cried in public. oK, maybe in the bathroom, but never out on a subway or anything, you are a a rude person, and whoever agrees with you must have forgotten the uterus you came out of.You are a disgrace to your mother, and bid you a fond farewell

Answer 5

You've obviously never been a baby~ jus shot straight into adulthood hey? I'm humbled.

Answer 6

AHAHA-I totally agree. Those stupid bastards! It's funny how when women are expecting they think their nasty lil'rat is/will be the "chosen" one, and expects everyone to care for it-what a laugh!! I could live with 15 teddy bear hamsters; but 15 brats? give me a fcuking break! I'd go nuts! Oh, and everyone is entitled to their opinion, so if you don't like what he has to say who gives a shiit, it's freedom of speech-tards!

Answer 7

OMG! TOO FUNNY and SO TRUE!!!!

i looked like an alien and cackled like a chicken in heat. i was 16 inches long with a 16 inch head!

Answer 8

I can't believe anyone would write such an article. Hello, everyone were babies at one point, if not, you wouldn't be here!

Answer 9

WOW DUDE!! Your Mommy and Daddy REALLY FU@@ed you up. Therapy MIGHT help. We all Love ya anyway and good luck with your future liter.

Answer 10

Please do all women a favor and right away when you meet them tell them how you feel about children so they can run away from you right away, or if they feel the same way, there you go! Your life match!
