Demon Spawn

This blog is supposed to be about something that I feel strongly about. Well, something I feel strongly about is children. I am not a fan of kids, nor do I have patience for them. I never, ever, ever want to have kids. Why you ask? Because in today's society, I would be deemed a bad mother. I would not be my child's best friend. I would be their parent. I would punish them when they did wrong. If they came home with a bad grade, I would ask them what they did instead of running to the teacher demanding that they change the grade. I do not believe that children should be coddled. It's a tough world out there. If you don't teach them perseverance at a young age, they may never learn it. 



To be fair, though, there are other reasons that I do not wish to ever have children. One of those reasons is that I'm currently not financially stable enough to support another life, and I don't see this changing to that extreme anytime soon. I am financially stable enough for me, however. Another reason is that there is so much to see in this world. Beautiful places and exotic locations. There is no ounce of me that pictures a vacation with a child in tow. 

Granted, maybe some of my view on having children is linked to that fact that I have no idea how to deal with them. In my 27 years, I've held two children. The second one I wasn't too worried about dropping since I've seen him fall over from a sitting position and hit his head on the floor, in which he had no response and the mother started laughing. Now that kid is going places!

And if by some freak accident of nature occurs and have a child, I hope that he or she would make me as proud as this momma has to be of her boy:

Five Ways to Win My Heart

1. Be passionate about my passions. Tennis, traveling, and Alpha Delta Pi are those said passions. Actually, I think I'll retract that first sentence. Although being passionate about my passions would be fantastic, I think I'm okay with being allowed to be passionate about my passions. Be supportive of me being addicted to tennis instead of making fun of me for it. Listen to me vent when my sorority makes me want to rip my hair out. Take trips with me or just be willing to visit new things in the area. 
2. Allow me to be me. I'm a strange being. I'm proud of being strange. There is no other me in this world. I'm blunt. I laugh at myself. I'm too sarcastic for my own good. I'm open minded and allow others to be their true self. I'm completely okay if you don't like me, just don't try to change me to benefit you.
3. Be yourself. I do not want to be with a sheep. I want you to have your own thoughts and opinions and be able to back them up. I want you to have your own passions and not care how dorky or nerdy they are. Be true to yourself. Don't lie to yourself and don't lie to me.
4. Respect me. I'm a lady, not a play thing. It does not get you any brownie points if you state your opinion on my body, except if you called me beautiful or pretty. Everyone knows that guys typically have on subject on their minds. Keep it as a thought and please don't verbalize it. It's usually not very becoming.
5. Spoil me. Okay, maybe not spoil me, but make me feel wanted. I want to know that you are thinking about me. For example: 'good morning' texts, flowers just because, little things just because they reminded you of me, taking me out.
