I hate it when other parents get under my skin. I love my children, often I love being a parent, but I fucking despise other parents with their smug self-righteousness and overblown sense of improtance.
I am a mother of seven. Most of our children were adopted through foster care. There is this crunchy woman in the neighborhood who takes her kids to the same park we frequent and since we are the only parents with more than three kids in that particular park, she thinks we are destined to be best friends. I hate her guts.
Today it was casually mentioned that I have “only” been pregnant twice and the other children came home through adoption. She immediately has this pleased expression in her eyes and says “well, you had it easy eh? Seven kids and only two pregnancies?! Woo-hoo, I wish it had been that easy for me! But nope! all five of them natural”.
Excuse me you dumb cow! What exactly is unnatural about my children? And what exactly do you mean by easy?! I wanted to smack her!

I think that you need to take a good hard look in the mirror because the one who is putting down your kids isn?t her. It?s you. You?re looking at them as victims, as lesser people. I?m going to also guess that you spend a lot of time patting yourself on the back for adopting these kids.Posted by Anonymous 29th July 2011

She means natural birth as in she had them vaginally and not cesarian. That?s what she means by ?natural?.And what she means by ?easy? is that you?ve only had to go through labor twice. She?s had to go through labor FIVE TIMES. That means hours upon hours upon days of labor. What she?s saying is that she wishes that she?d only had to go through labor twice and that the rest of them were adopted because of all of the pain and discomfort that the whole labor process entails.
Why don?t you get your smug little head out of your ass and try thinking from someone else?s perspective? At no point did she mean to insinuate that your kids are lesser. If anything, YOU?RE the one who deep down thinks that. Otherwise you wouldn?t be so quick to associate stuff like this (which BTW, she?d say to any other parent whether they?ve one kid or seven) with your children.
