Stupid People Shouldn't Breed

[hiddenmuse]

Today, I think I witnessed why some people shouldn't breed. Ever.

I was at K-Mart (only because I found that they carry my preferred hair color), and while wandering the aisles aimlessly, I heard a conversation between a mother and daughter about the daughter's baby: The baby was crying, mother said something to the daughter about it, and the daughter's response was "well, the baby ain't supposed to be cryin' like that..."

*shakes head* What the hell were you expecting? That the baby could look up at you from the baby seat and say, "Yo, mom! I'm hungry/tired/lonely/need a new diaper!" The baby's only a few weeks old ... of course they're gonna cry. A lot. It's how they communicate, numbskull!

You don't know how much I wanted to say something. But considering that daughter was probably 100 lbs. more than me (and I'm no little waif, mind you) and I kind of like living and not having any broken limbs, I just walked past and shook my head at how stupid that woman sounded.

I repeat. Stupid people should NEVER breed. I may have made a conscious decision to not spawn - but that's because I know that a child deserves better than a mercurial mom that has no real desire to have children in the first place.

I hear you! I can't believe how many terrible parents can be seen at WalMart or KMart. I don't know if the stores bring out the worst in people or what, but I definitely come away convinced that I will never have kids... and that anyone who does want kids should have to prove that they can be decent parents first!!!
