This is something I've thought about posting before I even had a blog. I even thought about starting a blog all about pet peeves. But that's negative. I guess doing a post about pet peeves is pretty negative, too. That's why I've never done it before. However, sometimes a girl's gotta vent. And my friends have heard plenty of venting over the years.
1. Women who complain about pregnancy related nausea. This one should be fairly obvious if you know me or have been reading my blog enough. When the nausea persists beyond pregnancy, I will totally sympathize with you as you vent on Facebook. Until then, though, be thankful you have a reason why you feel that way.
2. People who find themselves facing an unplanned pregnancy, choose to keep the child(ren), and basically treat the kids as accessories or entertainment. Parenthood is somehow a privilege thought of as a right. Just because you can make a baby doesn't mean you should be a parent. Instead of neglecting your child or not meeting it's needs (and yours, since your well-being is vital to the child's proper care), do everyone a favor and give the child(ren) to someone who can adequately provide for him/her/them.
3. People who vent about their kids on Facebook. Part of being a parent is teaching a child how to act properly in various situations. You chose to be a parent, so quit complaining. Furthermore, words can not describe what an injustice you're doing to your children. Seriously, I am considering reporting excessive complaints to DHR. You're on notice.
4. Misspelling words and neglecting to use punctuation. Especially when you are on a rant about why you choose to homeschool. Work on spelling properly and using proper grammar and punctuation so you can help your kids grow up into, at the minimum, intelligent sounding adults. If my kids misspell on Facebook, you better believe I will correct them. On Facebook.
5. People who feel they are doing a good thing by giving indigent people baby showers. Yes, I know this is highly controversial. It goes back to #4. They probably didn't choose abortion because they couldn't afford it and they think their only option is keeping the baby because they don't know much (if anything) about adoption. There's also this thing called foster care that you put your children into until you get yourself together for them. If you can't take care of yourself, you have no business raising a child.
6. People who already have a few kids, choose to adopt a child, and then ask for people to help them adopt said child by hosting fundraisers, or just asking for donations. See #5. You already have plenty of kids. Take some time to save up some money on your own and then adopt a child.
