Update: More Child(ren)

I've published a few blogs previously in reference to children: here and here.

Well, I am going to spill all the beans from all the cans in this post! Things that annoy the hades out of me:
  • Pictures of "baby bumps" - really, what is the obsession with putting pictures of your extending belly on the web for the WORLD to see? 
  • Seeing women breastfeed in public. Yes, I am a woman and I do truly admire mothers, but I will never understand why that is ok. Sorry, some things were not meant to be shown in public, but for the record, if you can show your boobs in public for breastfeeding, why can't I show mine for other reasons? Isn't that discrimination? I also think that if it's ok to breastfeed in public, then it's ok for me to make out with someone, of any gender, in public as well. Just sayin...
  • Finally, whether blatant or not, women with children versus without are treated differently in the workplace. Dependent upon the type of environment in which you work, this can manifest itself in many different ways. In my career of choice, which I absolutely love by the way, as well as my current employer, I am in the minority. Sometimes perception is all that I have, and the truth lies somewhere elsewhere; however, it appears that the employees with children are allowed special concessions. Please see my previous post for more on this particular tirade.
If you have children, wonderful! If not, respect me/us the same.
