Wow, so moms who either who work at home contribute nothing to society. I really feel sorry for those of you who don’t do anything but MOM with your days, because you must be lower than I am. What am I talking about? The idiotic rantings of Crys.
Aren’t you missing your opportunity to be neutral and tell him that like yourself I’m a mother and I contribute to society in so many ways?
I’m sorry Ranee, but I have to say it. Call me a TGO ass kissing fence rider if you want… but blogging for money doesn’t contribute anything to society. Its just another waste of space on the internet. And being a mother doesn’t mean you are contributing to society. Remember Shelly from what ever the hell that site was? She was a mother and she didn’t contribute anything to society.
Am I neutral, maybe not as much as I should be. Because Yes, I do think TGO is a dickwad and should keep some of his opinions to himself. But he’s right, if you dont want someone picking on you for stuff you write or pictures you post, THEN DON’T DO IT!
So when I said that about being a mom I was trying to relate to her. I wasn’t attempting to say I’m a mom praise me. I don’t think that at all. I also barely really do blogging for money either so you can get off that kick Crys. It’s been said, it’s been hashed out with many of us, and it’s a mute point. Don’t jump on that bandwagon now, way after the fact.
I honestly could sit here and tell you the reasons that I don’t think being in the military is a wonderful contribution to society, but you happened to pick that one career that everyone is supposed to respect. Actually everyone contributes to society unless they sit in their basement and type all day long. Or lay in their bed and do nothing. It’s my personal opinion that everyone has a contribution because it takes all types of people to make this world work. From the president to the guy making your McMuffin in the morning. If one of them decided to quit then well, someone would have to take their place because they are needed.
I Crys, have chosen to devote my life to children. You know when my child who I want to stay home with goes back to school I’ll be doing the same. I’ll be going for Social Work to work in the system. Not in a school, or a hospital, or some easy little job somewhere. My goal is to actually go remove children from disgusting situations that would make grown men cry and work with their parents and them to make the best thing happen FOR THE CHILD.
I don’t to put myself into school right now and take the last year of Sydney being home with me and write papers all the time, research, study for tests, etc. So I guess I’m contributing nothing to society. Ok, fine with me. You kinda have to lump a bunch of us into that category don’t you? Jenn, Lindsey, etc. We contribute nothing to anyone. Except our kids need us to thrive and our spouses/significant others love to have us around.
Humm I guess if I’m not churning anything out at a factory, slapping pickles on a burger, or sitting at my desk job in the military then I’m worthless. Somehow in my spare time sitting here doing nothing but paid blogging which you’ve done too and stated that if you could make a living doing it you’d gladly sit home with your kids, I am pretty productive. Oh did I mention that the reason I do paid blogging is to be able to shop constantly? Yeah. My shopping habit is out of control and I like to buy clothes, toys, and educational things for my child. I also manage to send the same items, along with daily care needs like soap, tooth paste, and freaking always maxi pads to a 14 year old orphan who from the sounds of her letters thinks I contribute a ton to her world, and that’s enough for me.
My “sitting on my ass and posting for cash” has allowed me to be able to start doing the same thing for a little boy that lives at her orphanage as well. It will also let us sponsor a child to come to our home this summer, and next Christmas, and maybe adopt her. I’m sure if you ask that little girl she’ll tell you that I contribute NOTHING to society.
Can we not forget about the group I started and continue to run for families who are adopting and having a hard time raising the money? How about the cookbook that I wrote, published (with recipes from people in my group), put together, distributed, and sold successfully. Do you know how many people have emailed and sent me photos of the child they brought home with proceeds from that cookbook?
Whilst I’ve done all this I’ve fought like hell for the justice of my child which is a full time job in itself, actually was. That was over a year ago. So excuse me for not running out and finding the first really mundane desk job I could or burger flipping job that would have me. I didn’t really need the money to survive so I didn’t even think of leaving this child to do that. IHOP is hiring, I considered going there to flip pancakes, but why? Just because your version of contributing to society is different than mine?
I’ve uh had a pretty fulfilling life so I’m sorry you don’t feel the same way about me. Sure, I could have left this at a simple, Ok Crys whatever you say. Then, you’d have not had to read the whole damn thing would you? Pleas though, tell me this. What would you like me to do to contribute to society? Would you like me to find some random person who is talking about a girl named Ranee and say she’s stalking me? Would you like me to go back to finding everything I can about Jenn and picking her apart telling her how worthless she is? Or perhaps it’s as simple as me letting Michael have the run of my website again?
