In an off and on discussion about free school lunches, a lady claimed I “can’t call yourself a Christian if you don’t understand the simple concept of give a man a fish/teach a man to fish”. Leaving me to inform her that wasn’t in the Bible nor was it a Christian quote.

Holy crap, people like THIS should not have kids. “Nobody will help you but yourself”. This poor child can’t even expect HIS FATHER to help him. Can you imagine this child trying to build trusting relationships later in life. Bless him.

So, I’m not a stay at home mom, but my mother was for a while when we were younger and this, uh, doesn’t sound like a description of her life. Getting up whenever she wanted? Nope. Sipping tea on the couch in the middle of the day? Nope. Take it easy when she was sick? LMAO

No one has to have children. Not single men, not single women, not married or partnered folks. No one’s life is “less” for not having children and no one is better at doing this life thing just because they procreated. And it is absolutely not mandated by Christianity either.

Such a dangerous thing to tell women when you don’t know their situations and what their partner might seek to get them to do. To tell them they shouldn’t have any boundaries or even preferences about what is done to their bodies or when and where this might be required.
