Compare the United States Economy to a couple building a house… This couple is just about finished, but they ran into some unforeseen foundation issues and now when it comes to finishing the roof of their house they are in even greater debt than the $185,000 they originally intended to set aside for the house.  They decide it is in their best interest to finish the roof now to prevent flooding and mold damage in the future, therefore they take out another loan.  This puts them in greater debt now, but saves them money in the future and eventually they are able to move into their new house which moves them closer to their jobs and allows them to be more productive members of society.

When is it appropriate to congratulate someone on their pregnancy?  Believe me when I say that I too someday hope to have a child, but come on!  I am not going to congratulate you when it is your second child, by a different dad, and you are living on welfare.  I understand it is 2012 and single independent women are having children and you go girls!  As for the girls that chose the easy route, I am sick of these leaches being congratulated for sponging off of the system.

Update: This issue has been resolved.

Some users may currently be experiencing site issues; our engineers are working on resolving this issue.

I remember growing up thinking that I would somehow be a child actress, yet I was trapped in Indiana and my parents sure as hell were not going to help me achieve that dream so my mind would drift off to boys and yes, babies.  What little girl didn’t play house and have baby dolls?  I may have played in the dirt with the boys, but I knew how to boss them around and make them play house with me and my baby dolls too and sadly many of them remember it to this day… 

Regardless, it had me thinking of the message we are sending to little girls by giving them baby dolls.  Do you really want your 5 year old daughter preparing herself for motherhood?  I am not even prepared for motherhood!  I think about what a scary task it is to be a parent and that in itself stresses me out and I don’t even want a child for at the VERY least 15 more years!  Feeding it and bathing it are the easy parts, but I mean what happens if the kid is made fun of in school? Or if they start wanting more freedom because their “friends can do it”? Or when you can’t keep them at home anymore? Or when they drive their car into one of your cars? Or when they want to quit something? The list never ends…

If there is one piece of advice that I can give you it is this, keep playing house with Monopoly money.

I must say that I am on here right now only because Twitter and I use that as my primary distraction in the morning.  I am feeling out of whack and off kilter now that I cannot check it.  Panic stricken, I did the next best thing I could do… turned to tumblr to write about these stresses so that it will then tweet this when Twitter comes back up.

Ahhh social networks and getting around your trickery!
