To whom it doesn’t concern…

Posted In: Everyday life — May 13, 2005 @ 5:02 pm — Stephanie

I realize that you know everything there is to know about motherhood…in Kenya, but perhaps if you allowed reason to guide your emotional outbursts occasionally, you’d see that there is NO excuse for leaving a baby in a plastic bag to die. They have public buildings, churches, etc in Kenya where a baby may be easily left so someone can FIND her. There is no reason to leave them in a plastic bag. I don’t know, maybe it’s the VEIL OF AMERICAN PRIVILEGE speaking, but to me, it seems like common sense for someone who had ANY concern for their own child.

There are poor people all over the world, including China. But Chinese women tend to place the baby on the steps of churches and public buildings rather than in a plastic bag. They do this to ensure that their child is found and will be cared for in a way that they can’t.

Oh yeah… you have such a worldly view. It certainly takes one to be able to stalk people going through weight-loss surgery and cleaning up their lives after living in squalor. Perhaps you need to take a look in the mirror to see what a rotten, miserable, mean person you’ve become.

I hope you realize that Peter and I take great pleasure in making fun of you, as you give us so much material. You are crazy. Get therapy…and some for your kids. They’ll need it. By the way, why don’t you take the kids for a walk, eh? Or maybe a bike ride? Or to the park?

Lots of love,

Mama dog saves baby!

Maybe I’m just REALLY hormonal, but that story left me in tears–and with questions. What happened to the mama dog and her puppies? Did the humans simply take the baby and leave the dogs to fend for themselves? That dog had a helluva lot more compassion for that child than did the mother who abandoned her. This is just further evidence that animals are better than people.

Oh, I hope someone took that sweet dog in. I wish that stupid article talked about what happened to the HERO of the story. *sigh*

Yes, I’ve been up all night again–puking my guts out. So lovely… I feel so ill that lying down in bed isn’t possible. : ( Sometimes, I convince myself that I am dying–that’s how awful I feel.
