"It's kind of like you're buying a baby instead."

Thanks, friend. That is exactly what adoption is like.

This is for your friend.
Yeah, "friend", that's TOTALLY what it's like.
I hate people. That's like saying those who go through fertility treatments ALSO bought their baby (though unassembled, I guess).
People SUCK and are STUPID.
My Blog
I overheard a coworker a few weeks ago, talking w/ another cw about Sandra Bullock and she said "She couldn't have a baby so she bought one instead."
I thought the smoke coming out of my ears was going to set off the fire alarm. My brothers are adopted, yes, because my parents didn't think they could have kids. They weren't bought, you stupidfuckingfertilewhorewhodeservesacuntpunch.
But she is a ginger, as is her baby, and we were making loud jokes about ginger babies the other day, so I got her back just a teeny tiny bit. Cause ginger jokes are offensive to gingers, but still funny, and not in the same area code of Offense as calling adopted children "bought."
Missed m/c at 17 weeks, partial molar pregnancy d&c 11/30/09
All because I told her I didn't think we could afford to go to a couple of weddings this summer, because we need to save for all of this.
BTW: She also managed to say something about me having two "real pregnancies" and three "kind of sort of pregnancies."
So I'm thinking we won't be talking again for a bit.
I need a drink.
This goes to your friend
Honestly, she doesn't sound like much of a friend to me. You have so many people who care about you and love you. You really don't need someone like that in your life. (((hugs)))
What a b*tch! Someone has a case of verbal diarrhea and/or sh*t for brains.
I think you should extend the silent treatment a little longer than "a bit."
What a cuntface.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle!

She is one of those well-meaning idiots. She ALWAYS says the wrong, most offensive thing. And you KNOW she doesn't realize why that is hurtful, or wrong, or whatever.
I love her, but I should have known better when I saw it was her calling.
love this!

You're not serious.
I mean.....you can't be serious.
Tell me you're not serious!!
I had to revisit this to get all whipped up again.
Your friend's being a turd. I'm sorry.

There is truly no excuse for these kind of statements. If she is really that dumb, then it is a conscious choice to NOT try to learn what appropriate social behavior is, or at best, a decision that she doesn't give a sh*t how much she offends other people.
Ditch this b*tch.
WTF?!
