I have just had a busy weekend of volunteering watching people, making sure they get medical help if anything untoward happens. Watching hundreds of people huff and puff as they run past is almost mind numbing. I want to say that I cheered them on, but that would be a lie. I cheered on the one person I knew and when people yelled thank you to me, I said "no, thank *you* for running" - not a lie, I'd rather it be them than me.
The obsession with mothers is interesting. Mine died almost a year and a half ago and I was estranged for very good reasons. Why is Mother's Day so important to people? Thank you for putting out mom.
No, let me be clear. I actually have nothing but respect for people who parent well and I applaud them. My mother wasn't one of those people so why should there be a day set aside for her and her nasty kind who simply abused their children?
I do not want children. Might be because of the woman who bore me and her legacy that continues in my head, but I also just think that there are too many people on this planet. I don't need to add to that problem but am not judging you if you want them or have had them.
Just be good parents. That's all I ask. Take care and protect your children instead of abuse and neglect them. Is that too much to ask for?
