  • Honestly, I don’t know who you think you are to judge other people’s responses as “crap”.  It is one thing to have an educated opinion, but to refer as other people’s fear as “crap” is ridiculous and shows me you have a lot of growing up to do.  Being alone for some is unbearable.  How does being afraid of mediocrity any better than being afraid of dying/being alone.  Exactly how did you come up with that formula that dictates who’s fears are “crappy” and who’s are not?  You are very forth-right with your opinions, but didn’t answer the question yourself.  Are you afraid that people would have the same reaction to your fear?  By not answering, does that somehow make you better or superior to those of us that open our minds and hearts so you can sit behind your computer and tear people down?


    You commented, “…don’t make your life all about your children.”  If that is how you really feel, then I pity you.  Its the parents that take too many steps back that fail.  It is all about balance and knowing when to push, and when to back off, but not simply taking steps back.  My dreams can be put on hold.  I have 18 years with my child, and 8 of those have already passed.  School will always be there, but in 10 more years, my son will not.  He will be a grown man, and I will have to hope that I did things right.  You can’t do that if you don’t make your life about your children.  It’s a fascade if you think you can.


     


    these are the words of a self-important woman who is completely deluded.  i don’t have to justify my words.  my opinion is simply that.  let’s say that my child is my number one priority, it would then logically follow that my greatest fear would be about her and not myself.  and also, let’s take a minute to think about why my daughter is not and should not be my number one priority.  i have a husband.  if i let him take back seat to her, um, well i’d be single.  but i care about him and i want him to stick around.  further more, if you cannot take care of yourself, which means, when the need arises, to be able to put yourself first, you cannot even imagine taking care of someone else.  i don’t sit here and think of ways to tear people down.  that’s not worth my time.  but i can say, that if your biggest fear is of being alone, it means you are not comfortable with who you are.  and that means, you need to work on yourself.  and let’s face it, we are all going to die.  it doesn’t matter when, how, where, or even why for that matter.  you have absolutely no choice about how you die, unless you take your own life.  so, it is pointless to be afraid of death.  it is inevitable.  it’s why the expression “death and taxes” exists.


    btw, it’s f-a-c-a-d-e.  but she’s blocked me, probably because i’m such a bad mother.


     


    ciao bella.

  • RYC: It should show up on your footprints. That’s how I found out.

  • I must’ve grown up in a different era because I was always taught that once you have children, they are always to come F-I-R-S-T! Maybe that’s why so many marriages end up in the gutter, because the poor spouse ends up taking a back seat.
    Neither one of my husbands and I chose to have kids. Maybe it because when we were married, we didn’t want our relationship to take a back seat. Call us selfish, but that was just us.
    I still fear death. Not the act of, but the way I am going to die. that’s just me though. I’ve cme a long way, but sometimes it spooks me a little.
    Everyone has a right to express an opinion. We don’t have t agree with them, just respect them.
    An yway, take care and I hope the weekend treats you well.
