Oh, so many bingos, so little time (and squares!)
I love the "You don't know real tiredness until/unless you have kids," because it's such a pointless attempt at owning people. Oh, so you want the monopoly on being tired? Ok, then, but what's the prize? A lifetime supply of sleeping pills? It's such an oddly competitive thing about complete nonsense.
I like to think of people who say things like that as martyrs. It's particularly odd because it's often said in response to someone merely stating that they feel tired that day. Not a person who has signed themselves up to play the tiredness Olympics.
"It's different when they're your own." And what if it's not, Brenda? Is there some refund or returns policy that I don't know about when it turns out that it's not different?
"You don't know real love until you have kids." I appreciate that the love a parent has for their child is unique and special. I do. I think it has to be or else people wouldn't shoot out multiple children and wouldn't go through all the struggle for their kids. However, people without kids know real love and are capable of real love. Also, it doesn't really make any sense. Are they saying that their kids don't really love them until they, themselves, have kids as until that point, they don't know real love?
It's frustrating that even on a CF board we have people who are not CF coming over with the express purpose of derailing our threads. If anything, they simply proved a lot of the points that have been made about how the CF are treated.
