you know, the biggest thing that irritates me about that person is that it's "all about him" no matter what it is...I know he's got friends around here and that's fine...but someone should explain to him that life is not all about him.

(This is coming from an only child, so ... just to give you context)

I wonder if the person in question is an only child? I know I have very strong tendencies toward selfishness, and sometimes do feel like things are all about me. His comments in that thread were, however, a bit out of line. I can certainly see where the harried mom is coming from; and yeah, kids are a big adjustment, but its worth it. (Remind me I said this in a couple years, please!)

There have been times since Christopher was born that I have questioned our decision to have a child. What were we thinking? There are still times when the frustration level reaches the stratosphere. I now have medications for that... (Seriously, I'm waaay hot-tempered, I hit a breaking point recently, and went to see a psychiatrist... ahem.. now that that dirty little secret is out.. and probably explains my spurious posting a little that and work has become complicated, I'm out in the shop a lot more lately.) I decided getting help was the best way to go in my case. I didn't want him to deal with what I dealt with growing up.

But, it's an adjustment and life is different now. There are so many things to enjoy about him, that it makes things worthwhile.

Anyway, here's to all the parents here, for all of the ups and downs parenthood brings. I'm very selfish, but I still love my child.

Sorry. It's a disease I have. Not much bothers me more than having to shuffle through Christmas decorations at the store to get stuff for Thanksgiving.

(This is coming from an only child, so ... just to give you context)

Mike, I'm of the opinion that almost every parent deals with some level of selfishness when a child first arrives on the scene. It's inevitable. Just as many have to deal with some level of selfishness when they first get married. Any drastic change in life, especially when in the arena of relationships, will require some time dealing with selfishness and the call for sacrifice.

The problem arises when a person, a) remains selfish in light of the relationship's need for sacrifice, for that is the equivalent to societal cancer and b) refuses to deal with a selfish behavior to the point that they can no longer function in polite company.

I've never met a perfect parent. I have, however, met parents that learn, grow and sacrifice for the good of the other, which makes them pretty much perfect in my book, and I have met those that remain selfish to the detriment of their family, and to my personal dismay.

I believe you to be of the former, not the latter.

I liked it, too. I wasn't sure how it would turn out. If she doesn't come back, I'll post the larger version for her.
