--- Quote ---She has shown none of the foresight, planning and maturity that raising a child is going to demand.

Y'know, I can just never understand that kind of thing. I'm in a good marriage, my husband would make a great dad to a child, we have a nice home, we're conscientious people, etc. etc. But I still worry like hell about what kind of parent I would be. It's the biggest responsibility in the world, IMO, and it scares me shiitless. I just can't fathom how some people can take it all so casually, and get into it so carelessly.

Especially since she apparently didn't do such a hot job--or maybe her daughter wouldn't be in the situation she's in.

People as self-aware as you need to reproduce Laura, otherwise the world is going to be full of people like my friend's daughter who breeds so heedlessly that it's almost criminal.

She's a crappy mother. Her excuse is that she was in such an abusive family she didn't know how to be a good mother or what it was to be a good parent.
I don't really buy this rationale, though.
She may have had a Valium/alcohol addicted, emotionally distant mother and a wealthy, completely abusive narcissistic wealthy father but she had a wonderful grandmother. Why didn't she learn from her? Did she graduate from high school unable to read self-help books or was so blind she didn't watch TV and see syrupy sweet TV families which to emulate?
I don't get it.

My bitch for today:
The use of the phrase "sexual preference" instead of "sexual orientation."
I'm sorry, IMNSHO, preference implies choice. I did not choose to be gay. It's just the way I am. (As has been so often said, given the homophobia that gay people face, who in their right mind would choose to be gay?)
I might prefer steak to pork chops for supper, but one's sexuality isn't like picking something from a menu. It's the way I am orientated. >:(
