It is your most "horrifyingly offensive" one yet, and I loved every word. The Mountain Play experience has just gone up at "Civic Center," by the way. Get hold of me if I made any egregious errors.
well there's a new managing editor position avaialble at the Chron.. maybe Eve could be promoted and be so busy with that that you get pushed aside.. that would be a horror
I agree that children are a nuisance. I'm so tired of these married people and with their sense of entitlement forcing their lifestyle choices on the rest of us. Why should we have to suffer and be inconvenienced because they didn't use proper prophylactics? They deserve better parking because they are new mom's? Fuck that. I'm angry and bitter. Where is my reserved parking? Swiss Miss would have to be contained with Ruby Tourk in the geriatric gorilla cage. Now that's a grudge match.
anonymous 7:27pm you're an idiot! did you forget you were once a child?! it's damn hard work being a parent. harder then any job out there. so...until you have a child of your own, i suggest you shut your pie hole!!
Anonymous 4:46...nobody is saying that being a parent is not hard work. I don't have children and I know it is hard work, that is the number one reason I have decided that I do not want children. Not wanting children usually mitigates an annoyance for other people's children. Just like it is your choice to be a parent, it is my choice not to like your children. So, you can shut your pie hole!
Anon 4:46 Thanks for proving my point exactly. Being a parent is a choice-your choice. It's your responsibility not everyone else's to make exceptions for you and your offspring. People have raised children for years without this constant moaning about how hard it is or any sense of entitlement. Guess what, it was even harder then. We don't what to see little Johnny expressing himself in the middle of our dinner while you refuse to have him behave for fear of sapping his genius or hurting his feelings. Yes, I remember being a child and actually having some rules for proper behavior instilled by my parents who did not think it was appropriate to be rude to others in public. Special parking should be for the elderly, infirm or handicapped, not whining SUV parent's whose life didn't turn out they way they imagined.
Wow! I'm surprised how much hatred is spewing from this comment section regarding children. Geez.
As a mom of a young boy and someone who intentionally waited a decade plus before having a child, I can see both sides here but I would have to say that a lot of the statements like "married people and with their sense of entitlement" and "special parking" etc. are based on assumptions and stereotypes.
I have not experienced any special treatment but what I do experience is most people feel more open to talking to you and your child. Except for those very rare few who shoot you a dirty look or two. Believe me, if and when I experience special treatment, like a special parking space, I will be very appreciative of it! As would a lot of people with or without children.
Life has turned out even better then I imagined it.

After reading that...I truly believe that we will be great friends come next week when I am your neighbor!
