Breeders

You know what pisses me off? Do you want to know the thing I witness everyday of my life that just gets under my skin and makes me want just drown people? You should know it's the title of this post. Yes thats right? Snakes. Ok not just snakes, Breeders. People that have baby's just because they can. I got news for you. Just because "God" gave you a dick or vagina doesn't necessarily mean he/she/it wants you to pro-create.

I don't know how many times I've been to a Walmart after midnight and have seen some mother or father either bringing their new born or anywhere between 1 and 10 year olds with them. Children that should be asleep in their beds either resting for school or just flat out resting. Did I mention this happened alot on weekday nights when school was in session? I remember one night at a Walmart in Tampa their was child around 8 years old sleeping on the floor of the electronics department at about 1am. When I told the employee she responded with "oh it's him again". It was really sad to think that this kids family is either in the store shopping or this kids life sucks so much that a Walmart floor is a heavan in comparison to home life. Also thinking back to me late night excursions to Walmart brings me back great memories of children getting hit or smacked for crying at again, 1 in the morning.

Now I never worked for Walmart, but I did for for Target for 5 years. 2 different stores in Tampa and 1 in Nashua NH. I don't recall any bad memories at the NH store except for the fact they were all spoiled, something that will hurt themselves and people around them more when their older. The Tampa stores though, wow. I can't count the number of times that we caught kids shoplifting. They would just come in, by themselves, with a backpack, fill their bags and try to leave. We caught them most of the time. When we did catch them security would tease them. I always felt torn about how I felt about them teasing them. In a way it may stop them from shoplifting. In another way their family will probably lay into them hard enough when they get home. Plus their could be some reason at home that would make a kid do the things they do, attention, the rush of adenaline to do something against the rules. Who knows.

At Target we also had a kid that would come in every couple days, grab a Maxim magazine, go to the restroom and masturbate. Sometimes security would catch him. Im not sure what happened when they did catch him. Other times we would just walk into the bathroom and find Maxim Magazines scattered all over the floor. We knew he'd been there.

A customer was shopping in the electronics department (where I worked) at Target. He came in bragging about how he just got a huge tax return because, get this, he has kids. He told me I need to get some. Than just like that I said "Yeah good Idea". Ok I didn't say that. Anyways he comes in with his kid and his tax return and buys a PS2 (this is back when they were still $300. So he buys that, extra controllers, memory cards and than games. He asks his kids what they wanted. Every game his kids picked out he vetoed and got what he wanted, sports games. Good Dad. By the way, the total cost was well over $500 when he got everything he needed. It wasn't just him. Their were tons of parents that looked close too homeless coming in and buying PS2's when they should be buying food.

Parents would sometimes drop their kids off at Target so they could play the game demos all day while their parents went out and did their thing. A thing that I've recently noticed at both Target and IKEA is how family's come in (or maybe I should call them heards) and these family's have like 5 plus kids. The children will just run around, causing havoc, making a mess and the parents will either sit there and smile or sit there and just look exhausted, not caring about a thing in the world.

Now I dont live in a bad apartment. It's not great. If their were a scale to rate shitty apartments my apartment would be an A. Anyways the apartments in my complex aren't big . Theirs a family that lives right below me. It's an overweight couple and their kids, who are also very very overweight. When I hear the woman walking her 3 kids to her minivan you can sometimes hear the mom yelling, "Fuck this" and "Fucking that". She just curses up a storm. Not only that but just about everyday we see them come home with bags of McDonalds or Burger King and we watch the kids get bigger and bigger.

Now we've all heard the complaints overweight people have had with the airline seats. Are you aware that there are now complaints that toddler seats in cars and baby strollers are now too small for a good portion of children living in the US. These are things that have been standard size for years and now all of a sudden they're too small. That's because the majority of people having kids cant afford to feed them so they have to get the cheapest fast food they can afford.

Here's my question.

Whats the fucking point? Why are you having children when you A. Clearly don't want them and B. Obviously can't afford them.
Im well aware that their are parents out their that are single parents due to death or due to someone walking out to never be heard from again. I don't want to offend them in anyway. I also aware that mistakes are made, your with someone, have a child than all of a sudden you and other half fight all the time and fall apart. The mistake of course being you had a child with the wrong person, not the child. Im writing this because Im clearly not happy with what I've been seeing on a daily basis. As I said earlier, it seems that people are having children because they feel that's what their supppose to do. Not because they should. It would seem that we are going backwards in more than just politics. It seems we are back in the dark ages, when condoms didn't exist and again people were having kids just because they feel that's their purpose.

Well I've got some bad news. Condoms due exist and their here to help you. Let me get person for a minute. I know condoms suck, but they have saved me on a number of occasions. I've had this dream since I was very young. That was to have kids at a young age so I could watch them grow older and maybe get to know my grandchildren or possibly meet my great grandchildren. I've also have this fear I will die very young but that's for another post. The point is that I don't have children for really this one reason. Money. I can't afford to give them a life they deserve. Sure I can give them love, but I want to give them more. Were not talking about spoling them, I want them to have a house, a yard, maybe if their really good I can give them the new game system or whatever the big thing that year is. Obviously Mollye ( my other half) would have to agree to have kids with me but Im pretty sure the only thing holding us back from alot of things in life is lack of enough money. And Im willing to live with that. How about you?
