Another day passes, as does another bottle of wine, which means it's time for another blog post! I am sitting here watching old Sex in the City reruns on TBS, and it is the baby shower for Laney episode. I have to agree with my girls; I am soooo over people who have babies thinking that they are somehow bettering the planet by carrying on the species. Ok now if you have kids, thinking about having kids, or some day want kids stop reading immediately. For all the cool people ga head.
While watching this episode I am painfully reminded of my mother, drunk (aren't all moms?), standing in front of the family at a holiday lunch saying "Jason how are you going to make it up to me for not giving me grandchildren". There are many things wrong with this statement; one why the hell do I have to provide grandchildren it's my life bitch, two don't parents have children for themselves not for their parents, and three I'm not having kids because I want to fly first class and buy Prada shoes. My saving grace afterwards was that I was able to say that my boyfriend of three years just broke up with me three weeks after I threw him a $1400 surprise 30th birthday party which he didn't offer to pay for to leave me for a 19 year old after I gave up my fabulous life in New York City to move to fucking Reno, NV and I had to move out of my house which I technically still owned half of. Yeah I win!!!! Seriously nothing tops that shit. I'm kind of almost glad it happened, because when someone says my life sucks I get to say *repeat from above. I am going to use that shit til I'm fucking six feet under. Thanks xbf!
Back to topic. I think all singles can attest that people with kids get all the perks. Think about it. Parents always get to leave work early because they have some soccer practice, blah blah blah they have to get to, and the single people can finish the work because they couldn't possibly have anything else to do of importance. Single people still have to pay for public school even though they don't use it. (omg at this point I've pissed off all parents and teachers....oh well I'm going with it). Single people have to pay for baby showers, baby birthdays, christenings, and a million other gifts that they don't see a return on. Speaking of a friend of mine wants everyone to go to Hawaii for their son's first birthday. No need to say more.
Why do we get punished for choosing to live a life free of poop, formula, and overall bullshit?
That's what I thought until I remembered every 80+ year old woman who never had kids. They are still thin, their minds are still there, they love life, and they have more money than God.
You can have a baby if you want, but if you do remember your single friends will always have more money, more free time, less responsibilities, and be much much omg much thinner.
Luvubitch!
PS - that being said I would totally have babies if I could have fake ones like Angelina Jolie. You know raised by nannies, bodyguards, and chefs, and I just had to do the occasional photo op with them.
