Bye jealous cow.
Marie Stopes, next for the chop?
As you know I'm really slow on the uptake, but hasn't Felicia been supplanted by "Karen?"Bye, Felicia.
I hope I'm not losing it, at least not yet.

Re: Marie Stopes, next for the chop?
I did some research for you, Ray. "Bye Felicia" is a dismissive term and "Karen" is used to describe an entitled demanding white woman who wears a bolo tie.

Smart man!

Re: Marie Stopes, next for the chop?
I can't argue with the logic, but I do think the older one gets, the less long term commitments one should make. Also, parenting is an exhausting vocation, so one must be honest about their health and stamina. It is worthy of consideration, though.

The older I get, the less I like kids...

So Gob, I guess it's safe to say you would not want to be a foster parent?
Re: Marie Stopes, next for the chop?
I've just managed to get my kid raised to the point where she is self sufficient, living independently, and happy. I'm not doing it again for anyone else's kid!!

Re: Marie Stopes, next for the chop?
I understand; I recall having a number of cases where one or both grandparents refused to take custody of a grandchild (when the parent(s) was (were) unfit. A lot of people I worked with criticized that, but I think it would be far worse to place a child with someone who really doesn't want to care for them. Just as some people should never be parents, others might have been fine parents but should never be foster parents. You just have to be honest with yourself.
Re: Marie Stopes, next for the chop?
Grandparent who do step up, though, are unsung heroes.
Re: Marie Stopes, next for the chop?
I agree; indeed anyone who chooses to step up fits that description.

Just great. I'll be an emergency foster care placement but I might not be home when you call. Sounds like CPS could really use you...
