UO Thursday

Re: UO Thursday
I do not make awesome money. I am still in school, I have a certification for a nurses aide. I do struggle with bills. I am considered low/middle class. I do have debts. I do have loans. Neither of my parents graduated college. They just bought their first home 10 years ago. I have not come from privileged money.
I am 21. That does not mean I have not traveled, been educated, seen, heard, or learned things. Or that I can in fact have an opinion, as ignorant as it may be to some..but it has nothing to do with my age.
I do not think that someone or anyone doesn't desere their LO because they can't afford a full maternity leave, I just don't think the government should be expected to pay for this extended leave. Because of a choice you've made.
I think everyone deserves their LO and never said anyone didn't. Because you struggle with money does not make you a bad person.
And I should have more compassion given my situation? Towards what? People believing they are entitled to payment for a lifelong decision they make. Certainly not.
I do not think a perfect world would need to consist of two loving parents for every child. One is plenty. My daughter will never want for anything.
As for compassion I'm pretty sure that you (zoegirl) didn't comment on my thread at all
And if you did, I retract that, My life is a whirl wind, as youve ever so politely brought up and to even bring up a happy perfect world family and "my situation" lacks compassion.
I stand by in saying government should not have to give paid leave. Children are a choice. Women have been havingchildren for centuries.
Would it be awawesome. To have paid leave. Of course. But I certainly do not feel entitled for it. Or that sending LO to daycare at 6 weeks cut into our bonding.
You just made me shiver.
I won't get into the maternity debate, my opinion hits home with what the rest of the Canadians put in and what @cath5587, @zoegirlTX and @navyandgray said. Word.
I just wanted to say that I enjoyed the discussions on Kim Kardashian's ass in between all that cluster.

Not saying it won't be both, but saying she should change
solely because she's a mother is bullshit. Having
a kid or being past a certain age doesn't turn you into a crypt keeper. A lot
of models that became mothers still work and wear provocative clothing. I didn't
realize women weren't allowed to be sexy after pushing out a child.
To add to this, why are people not outraged at photos of
I wasn't aware that the options were either a) show your bare ass to the world, or b) be a crypt keeper. Pretty sure there's some middle ground.men, who are fathers, walking around shirtless? Dads can wear close to nothing and no one cares?
Patriarchy, misogyny, blah blah blah.
I also can't believe you compared a man's bare chest to a woman's bare ass. Why don't you compare like to like? If a father were showing his bare behind on the cover of a magazine, I'd be similarly leery.

LOL okay. I'm sure you would.
I don't think you understand the meaning of the word misogynistic.
Nope. She used it correctly. And I agree. Baring your ass on a magazine cover might be distasteful and Ill advised for a few reasons, but not just because she's a mom.
One of my fb friends that's pregnant announced that she was getting rid of her old wardrobe now that she's going to be a mom. SERIOUS eye roll.

Seriously....people don't tip?!
I tip everyone!
Especially those who have waited tables.....you don't tip your hairdresser or the person at Starbucks?!
A tip should never be expected, but most times its deserved.
Well first of all, it wasn't just ass..it is her whole front side as well. And I didn't explain myself enough. I think Kim K is a actually a great business role model for women. She has built a huge empire. It's fine to be sexy and wear sexy clothes when you are a mom. But I'm sorry, I don't think it's okay for any parent to show their bare body on a magazine anymore when you have a child.
I mean "Oh hey North, I saw your mom basically naked in the magazine this weekend." Kids are cruel and all this can result in teasing and bullying when she is older. It's more about protecting your kid rather than just covering up because you are a mom.
The two times a year I actually get my haircut, I tip generously. However, I never tip at Starbucks just like I never tip at any other fast food establishment.
