And then there's all the patronizing you have to do for their parents and the rest of society. "Oh look at him/her. Isn't he/she so cute."
"No, your kid isn't that cute or interesting. Get over it."
Parents shouldn't expect any particular consideration or quarter from the rest of us because they wanted to boink. It's their choice/their responsibility, they should know what the extra burden entails. I'll treat them with the same civility I would anyone else. If I go out of my way to help, it's because I see you have your hands full and need help, not because the diminutive human you have in your company is somehow imbuing you with special status.
Don't get me wrong. I don't hate kids, I just don't worship the immature little buggers. Sure they're innocent and all (much less than I think many would believe though) but they all grow up to be ordinary fucking adults, quite capable of shitting on his fellow man.
One bit of irony is that a lot of people think I'd be a great dad.
Just keep them minimum 10 or 15 feet away from me and we'll do just fine. More if they're making noise.
Creepy Cult of the Child
Now a substitute teacher in Connecticut is facing 40 years because she walked into a classroom, operated the crappy computer provided, and got a lot of porn pop-ups to which the little shits came gawking at. The jury couldn't imagine getting a flood of pop-ups. They convicted her of running to get help with a machine she was told not to turn off when she came to fill in that day an she didn't turn it off. And it was twelve year olds. I can't even begin to tell you what I was up to at twelve. I wasn't that fucking innocent.
I started smoking at twelve. Fuck the porn, I want fucking 40 years from the executive who fucking got rich off of getting kids hooked.
If kids are so weak and addle minded as to be corrupted by a little bit of porn, God help us all. I'm a little more concerned with the 10000 plus fucking ads they're hit with every year. I guess anything we can do to maintain their innocence, right? Or is it THEY want a breed of fucking ignorant and naive fucking consumption cattle that'll buy any fucking lie the over-fucking-lords jam down our fucking throats?
Protect the Children From Porn
By all means, let's Protect The Children. Because that's what it's all about, right? It doesn't matter whose life gets mowed down in the process, as long as we are clear that it's all in the name of keeping kids innocent. (Wired opinion)
However, I do like Edward Gorey's kids.Extracts from the Gashlycrumb Tinies

The only and the most important thing a parent has to teach his child is to think with his own head ... Everything else is crap.
Unfortunately parents these days don't want self-thinking children that grow up into self-sustaining adults either, so the majority of them doesn't do it.
In general I think we do pamper them way too much. I like children the same way I like or dislike any other person. And most people think I would be a great parent.
You need to prepare them for life, not protect them from it, because if you do, once they encounter it the big way, theres a big chance they will crack under it.
A man who gets it. I like the "I like children the same way I like or dislike any other person."
A kid is a person. Worshiping them I think says more about adults dissatisfaction with how they themselves have turned out or dissatisfaction with their own childhoods than anything else.
In actuality, kids are fine. It's the cult that creeps me out.
