I’m not going to take it anymore!<\/p>\n
As luck would have it, today is I’m Not Going to Take it Anymore Day.\u00a0 That fits in perfect with what’s on my mind so I see no choice but to run with it!<\/p>\n
I’m not into making New Years Resolutions.\u00a0 They only lead to disappointment in February.\u00a0 So I don’t make them.\u00a0 But if I made them, mine for 2019 would be to defend myself against the idiotic statement “You don’t understand because you don’t have kids”.<\/p>\n
It’s true that I have never pushed a small human out of my vagina.\u00a0 \u00a0It’s true that I never felt compelled to try to make that happen.\u00a0 I will ever give you that it’s true that I don’t understand WHY people want kids.\u00a0 But that’s where it ends.<\/p>\n
I wholeheartedly reject the premise that since I have never been pregnant that I lack empathy.\u00a0 I utterly reject the idea that since I’ve never taken prenatal vitamins I don’t understand what it’s like to lose a family member to a sudden death.\u00a0 I will not submit to the notion that since I never procreated I don’t understand the tragedy of childhood cancer.\u00a0 I will not agree with you that my lack of tax deductions means I am unable to comprehend that parenting is difficult.\u00a0 I refuse to accept your idea that since I’ve never peed on a plastic stick and watched it turn color I can’t possibly know what true love is.<\/p>\n
There are a lot of things in this world I don’t understand.\u00a0 How anyone can still support Donald Trump.\u00a0 How airplanes stay in the sky.\u00a0 Quantum physics.\u00a0 The appeal of today’s pop music.\u00a0 Why NFL kickers were, as a group, awful this year.\u00a0 I sincerely doubt that my lack of mini mes contributes to my lack of understanding of any of these.\u00a0 Or anything else for that matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
