I Hate Everything.

Why is it that when people get married or pregnant we're supposed to buy them gifts? I know there was a whole Sex and the City episode about this and really it was the principle of people thanking other people for staying single and childless. And while I believe in that rant, mine has to do more with the assumption that I want to congratulate people on these happenings.

A) Do I think we need more children wandering this world? Not really. There are lots of kids wandering around needing homes. I understand the human instinct and need/want for children of their own (must carry on the family genes!), but again, the Earth is over populated as it is.

B) This was a decision you made on your own. Why must I supply you with the necessary tools to do this? And that's being nice. Have you seen what people register for these days? If the world had come together and said, "You. You two will be having a baby, whether you like it or not." Then I can understand outfitting this little creature with all the amenities of the parents desire. There's already a system in place where I get no say about forking over my money to people who have children who can't support them; it's called welfare.

And I'm done.
