in noodad » Are Adoptive Parents Better Than Biological Parents? on Noodad
In my opinion, everyone should have to take a test and be evaluated like adoptive parents do before having children.
Sure, it\'s an extreme thing, but I think we\'ll be a lot better off...
Of course I am kidding (sort of), but of course adoptive parents would be considered \"better\"-they have to go through rigorous evaluations by state officials and/or adoption agencies.
BUT! How does one consider a parent a \'better\' parent.
Sure, my boyfriend and I may not be married and be financially well off, but we are very hands on and involved in the growth and development of our child.
The couple down the road has more money and are married-but they emotionally neglect and abuse their child.
Does that make them better parents?

in noodad » Stop Smoking Around Your Kids (You Selfish Asshole) on Noodad
I\'m a second hand smoke kid.
My mom and my dad smoked.
I went to school everyday with my clothes and hair smelling like cigarettes.
One of my teachers even pulled me aside one day and asked where I got my cigarettes from because my dad had accidentally dropped one in my backpack.
When I was four, I saw a half finished cig in the ashtray and put one in my mouth and lit it. My parents beat the hell out of me. I thought it was ok because they did it. They do it around us. They did it with their friends. They would get up in the middle of a church sermon to go outside and smoke.
Upon learning the ill effects of smoking, I\'ve read aloud the articles for \"homework\" to my parents about the dangers of smoking. They would tell me to shut up and get out of the way of the television.
To this day, since I\'ve had my own child, I refuse to take her to visit her grandfather due to his heavy cigarette smoking. He reeks of nicotine. His hands and skin smell like nicotine and I don\'t want that smell or any cigarette particles to rub off onto her clothing.
Quinn-you don\'t smoke because you \"like it\" you smoke because you\'re addicted. Chillax with that mess. You wanna damage your lungs and stuff? Cool with me, I don\'t care-it\'s your body. But man, your kids-hows about not doing it infront of them at all. Not letting them see you when you smoke so that they don\'t learn your bad mistakes. And if they say \"Daddy , Don\'t smoke, it\'ll kill you...\" listen to them.

Have you ever had a nine month old with teeth try to latch on to your nipple? Sure it hurts the moms a bit, but has it ever happened to you? The Dad?
My hubby was holding our half awake daughter with his shirt off (it had to be 5 am) and she was a little confused and decided to try to latch on.
I know it hurt-but it was hilarious. Now he has a bit of an idea of what chapped nipples are-tee hee hee hee
