I'm just to weird and random to be anyone's parent

[yvr girl]

Anyone else feel that way?

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

1. My kid feels that way about me...

:D

He's a teenager... so he is also weird and random!

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. *shock* Have you forgotten about me, your spawn, so soon?

:cry:

[yvr girl]

8. I'm sorry, Sweetpea

You sort of seemed to raise yourself. I couldn't screw it up. :*

[RevolutionaryActs]

9. It was that plant food you gave me, I really sprouted fast

:7

[MissB]

3. Then you'll be the best parent.

Really.

The ones that really creep me out are the ones that can handle anything. Smoothly. Stepfordish, and all that.

[matcom]

4. but can i still call you "Mommy"?

at times? :D

[yvr girl]

6. You can call me lots of things but

not mommy. I hate when couples call each other mommy and daddy. It really gives me the creeps.

[Debi]

12. Then hubby and me would creep you out

We do it around our son (in private we have more fun names :evilgrin:)

5. Here is an example of why my kids think I am too weird and random

A friend and I took 12 14 year old girls to the beach for the day to celebrate one of their birthdays. Well, some boys were bothering them and they were ignoring them, so one of them 'Barney', threw sand in my daughter's face. My friend and I were sitting at a picnic table when they came over to get some food and told us about it.

So, I stood up and yelled at Barney...Yo, Barney, what is up with the throwing of sand in my daughter's face? He turned around like he was going to moon me. I said to the girls (and the entire rooftop deck of this restaurant) "He thinks he is going to moon me!". As he started to drop the towel, I yelled, "Hey Barney, that looks like a p.... , only smaller". The entire place went nuts, Barney got in his car and skulked away.

Score one for the mom in the DU tee shirt.

14. good for you !

7. I used to

And then I turned 33, met someone, got married, and fathered a son at 38 and a daughter at 40. It happens. What I can say is that I would feel better about children raised by most DUers (particularly after the whole Andy Stephenson story) than I would about children raised by more typical greedy, avaricious, envious Americans.

So, grow up and start pumping out liberal babies, NOW.

:dilemma:

[yvr girl]

11. Well I can't do it by myself now can I

Volunteers? (You have to marry me too, kind of old fashioned that way.)

It would make my mother very happy.

[Burma Jones]

20. Sorry, not a Polygamist

Although I'm sure you would make a fine, kind and intelligent mate.

[yvr girl]

22. It was an open invite

;-)

[Burma Jones]

24. I've seen your picture in the Gallery

So you're a looker too. C'mon guys, pony up. If we don't start making lil' Liberals, we're doomed.......

[Debi]

10. My son hates it that his friends like me

Mom, get out of my room! We'll call you when we want something :grr:

[xmas74]

13. I am just waiting for the resentment in the future.

I have been teaching my four year old how to be a good lib in a rural red state. Nothing like throwing a bumper sticker of Kerry/Edwards in the backseat and telling her to hold it up to the window when I honk the horn. Or when her mommy tells her how Republicans want to fatten her up so that they can cook her in an oven later. Or the bedtime stories about how Bush stole the election from our real president, Al Gore and now Gore wants his country back(it sounds more like an evil sorcerer-Cheney,the idiot savant-Bush, and the good prince-Gore but she really enjoys the stories. We have been working on the Kerry story right now.)

[progmom]

15. yes.

what can i tell you, it's true. i think many parents feel that way. you just kind of flail and do your best.

[nytemare]

16. I like and dislike too many people to ever marry somebody

So, seems like I can relate to you there!

[AlCzervik]

17. yes before i had a child i felt that way

now i'm amazed her becuase she is probably one of the most kind hearted people i've ever known.

[notadmblnd]

18. you can't be too wierd with kids

the weirder the better I say. Recently we took a short day trip and decided to have lunch at a Polish restaurant in Hamtramic. Coming back to the freeway we passed a building called The Detroit Nipple Factory and a man was coming out. I suggested to my sister that we stop the guy and ask him to show us his nipples. My 12 yrd old son spoke up and and said "don't do it mom... your going to ruin my street cred. "Street Cred? You're 12 and live in the suburbs how in the heck did you get street cred", I asked. I swear the boy was slinking down in the seat and hiding so he wouldn't be seen with two old bats teasing a guy about his nipples.

[Kenneth ken]

19. yes

it's probably the main reason I never wanted to have children, and so never did.

good move on my part.

[uppityperson]

21. Yes and thanks to you all

Rules for teenagers parents:
Other people's kids like you better than your own does.
You are always bugging your kid.
You don't care enough about your kid.
You care too much and don't have a life of your own mom.
I need to get X at the store right now or pick up my friends right now.
You rock.
You suck.
You are a hard ass, must bug everyone to get chores done. You are accused of liking this role. You give up this role. You are accused of not caring that the house is full of huge dust bunnies, toilet stinks, dishes are all dirty and there is no pizza or chips anywhere in the house.

I like DU

[NoSheep]

23. Yep.
