Mother's Day, celebrating the "miracle" of childbirth

[Honorable_Juice_BoxParticipant 591]

Problem is, it is anything but a miracle when it happens millions of times a year, and anyone with/without a brain can do it; hell it seems number of kids and intelligence has an inverse relationship.

Mother’s Day, and not to mention Valentine’s Day, celebrate a woman for simply “being” or having done the bare minimum (aka childbirth). It does not take into consideration the quality of the mother.

My childhood was not terrible, my parents stayed married (though they always fought over petty BS), I was never abused physically. However I don’t have a strong bond to my mother. Despite her being a stay-at-home mom, we never bonded, she never made the effort.

I would always do my own thing; play video games, hang out with friends, do homework by myself. She was never interested in my hobbies or even simply sitting down and talking to me, hearing my thoughts. The only things we did together was things she wanted/needed to do; such as dragging me to yard sales, grocery shopping, etc.

To be fair, my bond with my father is even weaker. He was the standard working 40+ hours a week to provide for us; but when he was home, he was just like my mother. He took zero interest in my hobbies and thoughts and would instead try to drag me into his.

The only reason I feel closer to my mother is because she was around, but that does not mean she was a great mother.

I love my parents, but they both neglected me throughout my childhood and it is no surprise to me now that I have so little interest in their company.

Even roaches have kids.

I bathe in the tears of single moms.

Don’t one of you guys go calling it “Womb Turd Day”!

I thought of it first!

Miracles tend to not have any explanation, as opposed to childbirth which has been studied for who knows how many centuries and at a cellular level is pretty much understood.

George Carlin referred to childbirth as “Pumping out a unit”. Sounds about right.

The Children of Doom... Doom's Children. They told my lord the way to the Mountain of Power. They told him to throw down his sword and return to the Earth... Ha! Time enough for the Earth in the grave.
