Cats are more difficult than kids.  We just don’t complain like parents do….  Kids are simple.

You probably wouldn't die for your cat though.

The way most people b!tch about their kids, and how their lives suck because of them, it seems like half of them wouldn’t either.

HAHAHA.

Cats sh!t in a box, you don't have to take them for a walk or change their diapers, they are as low maintenance as you can get.

I dunno.  I had a cat for awhile and now I have two kids.  Squid is convincing me...

I lived with a girl who had a cat in the late 1980s. It was inbred and she was allergic so we gave it to a mentally ill drug addict friend. Last I heard he got a notice that the mailman refused to deliver to his place. They had scratched out "dangerous dog" and added "cat."

I highly doubt she would have given a baby to my mentally ill drug addict friend, but you never know.

What if the baby was also inbred?

I am glad to hear you're ok.

It seems to me that facing the void... imminently... must clear our all of one's petty concerns and earthly pains.  I may have mentioned an uncle that seemed irredeemable that did the same thing as your mom. 

As a parent, I can say with perfect certainty that she loved you and held you at some point with the purest and least selfish love in her heart.  Whatever issues permeated her life and your relationship in the years that followed don't erase that, and I can only hope that she felt it again in the end.  At least, she did want to care from you as you say.

What I hope you get out of it is that even your poor broken mother saw what an incredible person you are and maybe saw wonder as to the positivity you bring into the world and felt proud.   

Now I'm upset, but since I don't "know" any of the people involved here I suppose it's just the eternal sadness+joy of our human condition.
  F*** parenthood and what it did to my previously cold heart....


Oh Michael. You are a very sweet man.

I have been sweet my whole life and I only discovered that late in life, because while sweet ... I definitely *am* catty and I tease, and I feel bad for that.  So maybe 98% sweet.  I also have many many conservative friends, and come from a staunchly religious yet also liberal background.  Our family was forward-thinking on prejudice even in the 1960s...

And cheap. Compared to the cost of having cats kids are nothing.

I have to admit though, I never really realised how easy kids are until one became a tweenager. All of a sudden the toddler meltdowns seem like a walk in the park.
