Who dropped you on your head when you were a baby? And where\nwere you when they were handing out lives? Second thought, I\nreally don't care!

Oh My God! \n\nWhen I was young I ALWAYS swore I would never say or do the same things that my mum done and said to me. This morning I heard myself shouting the same words to my kids that I heard my mother shout to me 20 years ago and I got really scared. LoL

Abuse. The sad thing is I probably would have stayed in that relationship a lot longer. But, then it happened! I had my son. The day I had him I knew I would never allow him to be exposed to that kind of a life. I remember thinking to myself, "My husband may be good enough for me but, he will never be good enough for my son because he doesn't care to change." Thankfully, now I know he wasn't good enough for either of us. I left the day that I got out of the hospital and never returned. My son and I lived happily ever after.

It is a very upsetting topic even more so for me I just had a baby and to look at all the things that could happen to her while shes so little is a scary feeling but you have to look at it like this....if its gods will she can go at anytime no amount of medicine or making sure shes sleeping on her back or anything else can really change that .....but as a mother your going to go that extra mile and make sure that you do anything in your power to keep her safe anyway. We tend to not worry about anything unless it hits home insted of thinking of it in terms as we are all family and should help one another out..but people want what they want...spend there money how they want(and to be honest they should its theirs) but to show a little Compassion to someone else should be a bigger reward then that new DVD player or those $200.00 doller shoes but your only one person and your not going to change everyones mind so the best you can do it what you can do and teach your kids to do they same a little help is better then none at all......Is it fair...no...but then again life is not always fair to any of us...there rich people now who have money coming out their ass but still we see them commit suscide and kill others...who was there to help that indvisual? People should take care of people no matter who they are!

If you had not been dropped on your head so much as a baby would you still be asking dumb ass questions that feign logic built off of a stupid premise?

One time I was walking down the street.  A young girl was pushing her baby in a stroller just in front of me, and old man was walking towards us...it was fall and leaves were blowing with the wind all around our feet and we were all walking sorta with our heads down when GOBS of rolled up money came rolling right between us all with the leaves...it was a MOMENT let me tell you.  The old man stopped...I stopped and the girl with the baby-buggy stopped.  At the very same time me and the old gentlement said to the young girl..."Pick it up"!!!!  She said, "Oh my God" in kind of a dreamy way and just stood there.  I said, "hurry up quick ...pick it up and put it in your pockets and GO"...the old man bent over and so did I and we helped her pick it all up and stuff it in her pockets...must have been hundreds..maybe thousands..not sure...probably (and surely) drug money that fell out of someones pants or jacket.  That is why we told her to pick it up and go.  She REALLY looked like she needed the money...certainly more than we did.\nSometimes the Powers that be really do work in mysterious ways.  I smiled for a week after that...I'm smiling now remembering.

Yes and No.. \nI know that I could have not handled another child. There is always a what-if...in the back of my mind. \nBut the experience was regretful.\n\nThe clinic sceduled all it's abortions twice a week.  There we were treated like cattle.  We were all put in a room together to sign our paper work and pop vicatin together.  Then 4 at a time we were called into seperate rooms, where we were put into stirrups.  The doctor popped from one room to the other.  The walls were paper thin, and I could hear the other girls, moaning in pain.  When he got to me, the pain killer had not kicked in, and when I yelped at the pain, I was lectured about how I had gotten to where I was (I was a married woman!).  The pain was excrutating, and my husband could hear my screams from the waiting room.\nI later found out that he had to be restrained by several staff members.  After the procedure, my self and the 3 other girls were escorted back into the "holding pen" until we were deemed fit to leave.  There we about 20 women in that room, and we could not offer support to each other.  I wanted to scream at them to get out.  But My pain killers had just kicked in, and I was so ashamed and embarassed at what I had done...that I said not a word, but I could read the fear in the eyes of the girls who had not been back there yet...\n\nWould I do it again.  No.  But is a choice I made, much as yourself.  And it is not a shameful one.  Have pride that you were smart enough to know that you weren't ready to be a mom @15. God bless.

That actually happened with me about 10 yrs ago with my first husband except she was not my best friend, she was a crank whore. I freaked out and tried like hell to hurt both of them. Another friend of mine was there and another friend of his was there and so they prevented me from doing too much damage at that moment. I don't recall a lot about that night. I just know that for like the following 3 months I cried myself to sleep everynight. That was one of the darkest times of my life. He ended up getting her pregnant. Our child was only a few months old at the time.\n...Anyway, I'm in a much better place now. Thank God.

I have not heard about this, but how it has saddened me that a whole childhood has now been lost. I wonder how she will ever cope. Of course the questions come to mind, where were her parents, where did she get the alcohol, who gave it to her etc. But what concerned me most was what type of person ( if not another young, immature child) would take advantage of a child that age no matter what state or condition she was in. God my daughter is 11 the thought of pregnancy at that age terrifies me let alone the reality. Where were the responsible adults. I hope if the other party to this was old enough to know better, he gets whats coming to him. The decisions and responsibilities this child is now faced with are far to heavy for her to even comprehend. There effects will be far reaching. How can one expect an 11 yr old child to understand those actions or the consequences. Good lord this has made me so very sad. We will be praying for her physical and emotional safety and well being. Plse do the same.

I came home on evening from work and my wife and children were not home yet. Shortly a neighbor came to get me and said there was an accident. He could hardly tell me it was my family so I new it was bad. When I got there (not far from home) My wife was unconscious and my children banged up. The medics were working to save my wife's life. \nAfter some days in a coma my wife got quite a bit better. Still today suffers some effects. After wards I tried to contact all who helped and found out someone was on the scene before anyone else even the from the house by where it happened. It is very possible they saved my wife's life but no one knows who it was, how they got there or where they went. I still don't know. I can't say for sure but I wonder. The Bible says the angels are ministering spirits for us. Could it have been?

how could you ask that? don't you know? \n\nwe are the jar openers, the spider squashers, the people who help you get that can/glass/jar that is just a bit out of your reach. \n\nwe are the one's who get lost on the road and yet know exactly where we are going, and we provide you with constant sources of amusement.\n\nwe are the computer fixers, the tv buyers, the chocolate makers and buyers... and yes we are the ones who not only help you (and us) procreate, but also the ones who are more panicked and witless when the contractions start... than the person actually having the baby :P\n\nwe are your brothers, husbands, nephews, fathers, uncles, sons, and grandfathers... \n\nand besides... who else are you going to blame when things go wrong? (you'd have yourself to blame after all :P)\n\nwe are necessary, don't you think? ;D

Funny. I heard one today too-\n\nTwo kids were fishing in a stream. W was crossing over on a bridge, when he tripped, hit his head, and fell into the water unconscious.\n\nThe kids pulled him out, and when he came to, he thanked them profusely for saving his life. He told them he would grant each of them one wish. \n\nThe first kid wanted to go to Disney, and W agreed to take him himself in the Air Force One.\n\nThe second kid asked for an electronic wheelchair, equipped with a DVD player, MP3, and Playstation.\n\n"What for?" W asked. "You aren't crippled."\n\n"Yeah, well I will be when I go home and tell my daddy I saved your dumb *ss from drowning," he answered.\n\nSurprise, surprise, the one Neocon I work with didn't find this funny.

I had my first born when I was 18. Three years later- OOPS! Out popped another. Three more years after that one- Must be something in the water! (Three, altogether.)\n\nI think I'm done, now. (I hope!)
