One of my readers, Vanessa, has brought this recent article in the Daily Mail to my attention and I wanted to share it with all of you.

Entitled, "Why bosses are right to distrust women who don't want children... by a VERY outspoken mother (and ex-boss)" this shitty piece is sure to get a few of you going!

Personally, I couldn't help but giggle at it. Childfree women are some of the best, most dedicated co-workers I've ever had, I don't know what this dickass is talking about.

The author however, thinks voluntarily childless women are "weird".

Yes, how WEIRD we childfree women are. We must be a truly unenlightened bunch not to want to deal with all of the possibilities children bring!

And there are so many possibilities...

You know, things like...Sleep deprivation, sick days, homework, snow days, learning disabilities, constant cleaning up after others, hundreds to thousands of dollars in childcare costs, Dora, The Wiggles, Bobpants, and other craptacular television shows, play dates, chauffeuring them to doctors appointments, school, extra-curricular activities and lessons, the lack of privacy, having to speak in code and spell out words instead of fucking saying them out loud, being quiet as a church mouse during sex, stashing the porn and sex toys in secret places and praying they won't stumble upon them, protecting a child's "innocence" from the realities of LIFE, amusement parks and Chuck E. Cheese outings, teacher-parent meetings, report cards, homework, tedious school projects, disobedience, arguments, Drivers Ed, time outs, car seats, crying, snotty noses, poops and potties, puke, every other bodily fluid under the sun, ADD, autism, behavioral problems, medical problems, teen pregnancy, trust issues, uneven parental responsibilities, groundings, punishments, the possibility of raising a child who grows up to disappoint and shame you...

Ugh, yes...only a WEIRD person would shun all of these amazing possibilities!

Employers are so right to distrust us childfree women. After all, we're disobedient...defiant even! We won't allow ourselves to be thrust into a role we deem undesirable. We've weighed the pros and cons of child rearing heavily and have decided to rebelliously go our own way rather than follow the ways of the majority.

That definitely makes us a scary, sinister bunch!

*Snicker*

Dear Gawd Almighty, I just saw the most ridiculous documentary in the history of the entire world.

It's called Nursery University and is currently airing on Showtime (it's also available on Netflix).

Set in Manhattan, we're introduced to the world of privileged, status-obsessed breeders desperately angling to get their children into the elite nursery school of their dreams.

Honestly 90% of the parents in the film are insufferable, oblivious, entitled breeders who think if their snotlings don't get into "Over-rated, Over-Priced Preschool School For The Haughty & Pretentious", their three-year-old is doomed to a life of mediocrity.

I won't go into a detailed account of the horrors I witnessed but here are a few highlights:

*One preschool charges a whopping $20,000 in tuition. Twenty thousand dollars for one year or school for a goddamn 3-year-old. What the shit?

*In order to prepare for the "grueling" application and screening process, many of these parents opt to hire a "Preschool Admissions Consultant" to help them "navigate the process". The fee charged by said admissions consultant? $4,000.

*Parents are seen CRYING at the prospect of not getting their child into the school of their choice, applying to a range of schools based on desire along with "safety schools" that they feel will be the easiest to get into, and visiting schools in person to deliver "first choice letters of intent". WHAT?? THIS IS PRESCHOOL NOT PRINCETON!

*The very day after Labor Day is when you're to begin "outreach", which entails calling every school of your choice to request an application. Let me tell you, the phones at these places were constantly busy, with parents calling 20-30 times in a row just to get through. Jesus Christ on a pogo stick.

I am positively dumbfounded at how petty and desperate these people are. This is two and three-year-olds who are going to be playing with blocks all fucking day long. Why the fuck would you waste $20k on this? We are in a recession bastards!

I'd really like to know what these people have planned for college. Gawd forbid their financial situation turns precarious in the next 15 years. What happens when another Bernie Madoff comes and rips everyone off? Methinks these assclowns will cringe to look back and see they flushed twenty grand down the toilet for preschool (which consisted of cookies, nap times, and coloring) and now have no money to pay for little "Juliana's" college education.
