Spawning o_O

[melchar]

Sitting here in the happy afterglow of a massage [purrrrrrrrs] - I find myself pondering parenthood. There are some folks I don't think should own a pet, much less have kids. But then there are people I know who would make marvellous parents and have all this problem actually spawning.

That's just not fair.

I mean, when someone actually -wants- to have kids, _and_ would make great parents, IMHO they should have perfect pregnancies and get to deliver the spawn;et without pain.

Of course when it comes to me, I plan to remain completely spawnless and just look approvingly on my chums who -do- procreate. ^_^

Hey, I had my two! Thank goodness they got my brains....

Someone once told me that children survive in spite of their parents. I certainly did.

I admire people who recognize that they either shouldn't or don't want to have children for the childrens' sake! I heard someone once say about such a person, "That's so selfish!" Uh, yeah, because bringing a new life into the world because someone else thinks you should is a good idea?

I won't say I'm the best mom, but I've enjoyed (enviously) seeing my daughter grow up to be the person I would have been if my parents/stepfiends hadn't been idiots and, well, downright evil. It's too bad we can't tell which are the bad ones before they start popping out pups.

On the other hand, I'm trying to picture a bunch of little Melchars running around...frighteningly cute, if you catch my meaning!

Now -that's- a scary thought. Equally scary is my lil sister: could be a clone of me [only with dad's red hair & brown eyes], but she stayed cute - and charming - and very social .... and did not seem to get the brain cells.

So apparently you can have smart/geeky, or you can have popular/cuter - but not both ^_^

My luck would be, if I spawned, they'd get all of my defects and deficits and none of the good qualities.

So be delighted when you spawn well!
