    In reply to The Mommy Wars: "Quite Simply I Hate Your Baby."
    I could have killed the woman who brought her baby to the 8pm showing of New Moon and then allowed the child to fuss for a solid 15 mins, disturbing everyone in the theater.

    But as much as I hate parents who bring their children to evening movies and resturants with items costing more than $30, I'm amazing by the kid-hate out there.

    When one of my co-workers was pregnant, she was very non-baby obsessed, but another co-worker still felt the need to tell the pregnant lady he didn't like kids and didn't want to be around hers. For no reason.

    Just on this thread, there are people complaining about a baby being born near their wedding (couldn't they plan better?) and comparing a baby to a Tomagoshi (I can soothe my Tomagoshi, why can't they soothe their kid?). I hope these are jokes, but I doubt they are. Entitled people exist whether they have kids or not.

    "I resent that my choice to be child-free subjects me to condescension and pity, even though I'm not the one taking up the whole aisle at Target with said SUV stroller and screaming, unruly brats named after medieval professions."

    I have to admit that I laughed really hard at this and think that is sums up my opinion on the matter pretty well.

    @St. Francis of a Sissy: oh my god, those sounds like actual names i wouldn't be surprised to here. especially living in the south where people love to give children first names that are last names. well...maybe not cobbler. although that kid might be delicious.

    i had imagined something a bit more absurd like jester, minstrel, scribe and knight.

    I am several hours late to the party, because of my time difference, but I couldn't NOT chime in, because I rock the caftan (or muumuu, more commonly found on Guam) quite often, as it is quite breezy and comfortable in tropical climates. Combine it with wrapping your hair in a scarf in a kind of tiny turban and you feel utterly fabulous, in a dowdy sort of way. I'm hoping to start a trend.

    (That, and curly, coarse hair is a bitch in humid weather, so it keeps it under control.)

    @Cafezinha: Note: not to imply that a muumuu and caftan are one and the same, but the general idea of one-piece wild and free loveliness is still there. :)

    So. . . now we have to hate on parents? What's with all the misdirected hate? Can't we just say things like, "mildly annoyed"? Or, "inconvenient"?

    No. Everything has to be, "I hate mommies/parents/certain types of people." How lovely. And how lovely that now we're all encouraged to foster this kind of environment, where we hate on anyone who's not exactly like us, or how we would be. I'm sure this totally won't bite us in the ass.

    @deeemer: Thank you! I've sort of been feeling this all day, ever since checking in on this thread.

    For instance, I got pretty effing annoyed at a family who brought their SUV stroller onto the subway the other day; that's why the umbrella-type models were invented. Taking up the space of three-four adults with one teeny baby? Rude.

    Do I hate those people? Hell no! I have to get to know them before I can hate them in the way they deserve! But I can find them rude, for sure.

    What people don't like is inconsiderate self-absorbed parents who expect the world to be reordered."

    And it goes without saying that this extends across the class and racial aisle, from parents who actually like their kids (like them enough to make them bearable, instead of oblivious, noisy brats and/or bullies once they're old enough to get to school), to Sarah Palin self-righteous "hockey moms", to Park Slope stereotypes, and finally to parents to treat their kids like crap or raise them to be angry, violent basket cases and/or assholes.

    I guess there's a overlap between someone who is self-absorbed because they're parents, and people who were assholes BEFORE they created life....

    Thank you for writing this and putting it out there for all to see. From day one, I've felt Palin's core audience has seen her as their savior from the ignominy of having a black President. These people will believe in anything to ignore this reality. And yes, I do personally blame Sarah Palin for stoking this type of negativity for cash and popularity. Her methods are very similar to Nixon's Southern Strategy and for that she and her followers should have some shame.

    (White mothers, generally, and usually urban ones

    The mind boggles. People negatively steretype white urban professional mothers. Not black mothers, single black mothers, single young black mothers, or single young black fathers.

    Maybe people don't hatemothers, lady, they just hate you.

    Holy Small World. If the child in question has two names and is a girl, I do believe I know who you're talking about.
