is this normal?

You never hear people telling parents that they are irresponsible for having
children when so many children die everyday.

Guess you weren't around in the 70s when zpg was the big thing. Personally, I
do think it's irresponsible to have a bunch of children in this overpopulated
world. I'm glad I did my bit for zpg and then some. I've always thought that
people who choose not to have children should have some sort of tax incentive.

Just warning you. I joined the newsgroup as I am the
mother of four children,

Let me guess, the first one "came along" when you were, oh, let's
see...seventeen? Fifteen? I'm sure it was a planned pregnancy and
you'd finished your education first. And you're no doubt raising
your
little duhlings to be as charming, benevolent and well-read as you
are.

make that six including my two sweet kitties,

Cats deserve to live with people who aren't oozing bile and
vituperation (look it up, Einstein) with every breath.

but
unfortunately a few people here are a bit high schoolish

No, just you, but that's no surprise as it was probably the last
formal education you had.

as I am sure you
will see. Good luck to you, though.

I'm sure frigamia will sleep better knowing that she has the well-
wishes of a bellicose maniac whose gift to the world is a stream of
whiny posts endlessly spewing bilge about how abused she is.

Damn, now I have to go build up my karma again, or I might return in
my next life as a nasty troll with an Internet connection, a litter
attesting to my lack of ability to use birth control, and a house
full of glue traps with cats stuck to them.


Hot damn, Laura. Write much?

You joined the newsgroup because you are the mother of four children? And you
spend your evening trolling newsgroups? Geez. Go spend some time helping them
with homework. Read to them. Talk to them and find out what happened today in
their lives. Sheesh. I'd hate to remember my mother hunched over the computer
trolling newsgroups and spewing filthy language.

Sherry

No doubt. Then she wonders why people say they pity her children.

The slimeball even had the nerve to brag about her stellar parenting
abilities in the infertility newsgroup. Everybody there told her to
**** off as well. Unfortunately, she's not smart enough to reccognize
where she's not welcomed...

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!! And how about some "non-maternity" leave, too?

Then there're family leave days, which people w/ kids take on a routine
basis, but peope w/o kids can't convert those days to use in any other way -
as personal or sick days, for ex.

My opinion only,
I can hardly see people with children putting down people who let their cat
have one litter of kittens and telling them they are irresponsible for
letting it happen when billions of cats die everyday and are homeless and
sick etc.
I agree that we have to save the cats and help their population go down... I
am a cat lover and want their well being just like every cat lover does.
But, frankly, I am much more concerned about the children dying everyday
because they are too poor to eat, or too sick to live, or too unlucky to
live in a good family.

I *so* do not understand your logic.
Have you ever volunteered at a shelter? It's pretty easy to justify breeding
your cats if you haven't. However, the miracle of birth just loses some luster
once you witness the miracle of euthanasia.
Your argument about children seems rather moot. ....two wrongs don't make a
right .Honest. We are killing cats at an alarming rate in this country. It has
to stop. The only way it's going to stop is if people neuter *all* their cats.
Spend some time at a shelter, please. I *guarantee* your attitude toward
breeding will change once you watch dead kittens being bagged up.

And I know that
she's the happiest cat alive at the moment, and that she will be even
happier when she can take care of her little furballs.

Groan. This makes me want to throw up. Honestly.
