Hurrah!

My post on sca_snark[profile] sca_snark is up to 115 comments! Most of them are incredibly negative, which isn't unexpected.

Particularly juicy comments include:

What are you doing letting your child read a snark community, for God's sake?
[profile] sca_snarkIt all comes down to CONTROL YOUR FUCKING KIDS!
It is called responsibility! Learn the term! Or don't have kids.
Wow. I
thought I smelled butthurt somewhere.
Major butthurt on Aisle 2... ::eyeroll::
Sometimes the witch needed burning.
Good god woman, are you thick?...move the fuck along to your next drama.
I really hope you are not teaching pigheadedness and the propensity to be a martyr to your children.
Expecting everyone in your vicinity to watch your kids 'because it takes a village' is a big piece of steaming, self-important crap.

And my favourite response, thankyou Celsa,
I bet you love the "Village" when your car is bogged to the axles, mate.

[profile] sca_snarkRiding to work today, stewing on this issue, it occured to me that if every parent responded to these stories with, "Sometimes, I'm a bad parent too", maybe we could effect a change in the expectations on parents, or just cut down on the vilification. At least it would give me something to say when I'm too angry to be sensible.
