We had children, and then we complained.

[Onkel Neal]

The Idle Parent

Oh, how we whinge, we pampered parents of the West, attacked by choices, condemned to strive always to do the right thing, to get it right. We complain about money; we complain about lack of sleep; we complain about our partners, our co-workers, the newspapers, social networking sites, the government. We stamp our feet and shout at the usurers in the banking corporations and the swindlers and avaricious cheats on Wall Street, but most of all we complain about our own children.

We try to "get the balance right" between unenjoyable and enjoyable activities. But we are moaning about the very lives that we have created for ourselves. We took that job, we bought that house, we chose that boyfriend or girlfriend, we had that baby, we bought that car, we live in this city, we live in this country. We were free to go and retire alone in Goa and live on the beach for the rest of our lives, childless and free. But we chose not to do that. And then we complained!

Lol, "attacked by choices"

Like my wife, she hates our house...complains it is too small...well wait...you chose it

[SteamWake]

Dont you understand? We are no longer bound to the consiquences of our actions.

Buy a house you cant afford? Goverment will help you !

Unwanted pregnancey? Goverment will help you!

Commit murder? Surely your a victum of circumstances, here the goverment can help you !

Trouble in school, cant pass, drop out, now you cant find a decent job or pay your bills? The goverment can help you.

Pay your mortgage, pay your taxes, raise your children right and send them to school ! What the hell are you thinking !

[AVGWarhawk]

No, it is more about the decisions we made on homes, cars, kids, vacations and got it all but now we complain about it. (nothing to really do with affording anything)

My folks would call it "poor little rich girl/boy". Got it all and by decision on their own but still complain.

If your house is too small, does that mean her legs stick out of the window!?

Naw, that means we would be living in a trailer park. I don't get it. Three bedrooms and two full baths. How much more does she need
