About
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.Subscribe

the second is how jealousy poeple see that child.. (i’m not boring)
Oh, believe me, if we were all jealous of your little germ-bags, we’d have kids of our own. After all, it doesn’t require a license, wealth, any special ability, talent, or any level of intelligence to conceive and gestate offspring.
I mean, if your kid is smart healthy and cute,
jealousy people will find something to carp)
Why would anyone be jealous of your stinky, creepy rudelings? Children like that are a kind of birth control for all who have the misfortune to encounter them.
Amen! I’ve started thanking bad parents for the effective birth control that their child’s behavior provides me me with.
I see my son as healthy, rude and stinky. Much as I love him. Does this mean everyone else thinks he is creepy, smart and cute? How does that work?
Nah, it’s just that parents who think their kids are perfect are generally delusional, hence the kids are likely to be bratty.
Parents who can acknowledge a kid’s faults are likely to be working on fixing them…
Gross – one of the words should’ve been gross
(my kid is gross, btw)
Case-in-point: I have a dog that I adopted from the pound. She doesn’t like strangers and will go WAY out of her way to avoid them. She is especially funny (not in a good way) around unknown kids. Yet, parents are always sending their kids to go pet my dog when I walk her.
The parents view their kids as lovable and harmless – like, “why in the world would anyone not want my kid all up their business.” My wife and I view the kids as a constant source of annoyance.
Yeah, parents should keep a tighter rein on their kids. Many’s the time I’ve seen kids running amok, and the parents either doing nothing or saying, “Stop that,” then doing nothing when the kids disobey.
I urge you to take a look into CPS guidelines and understand that almost anything can be construed as “child abuse” today. Smacking a kid when they need it is now taboo. So what can a parent do with a child that won’t listen if they have government agencies breathing down their neck to not use just a modicum of corporal punishment? A spanking or thwap to the head != abuse.
It’s clear to me that you’re not a parent, or you wouldn’t have made such an assumption.
props for putting the diagrams revers orientation from each other :)
I was thinking that too.. and if you overlap them, maybe the arrow pointin to the intersection of all six should say “How the kid really is”?

except for my kids, of course. they’re perfect.

Being a teacher, I have no comment ;)
