Some people should not have children. There are so many children living in households where they are unloved, neglected or abused. Some come from households where there is not enough money to buy food. Well...yesterday at the park I was introduced to a new kind of parent who should not be allowed to have children. I met a couple of ladies who were talking about children. They each had 2 kids and were discussing having a third child. Here is the conversation:
Lady #1: "My husband and I would love to have a third child. We have actually been trying but I really hope I am not pregnant already."
Lady #2: "If you want a child then why are you hoping you are not pregnant?"
Lady #1: "Its a silly reason but I really don't like the birth stone of the month of August."
Are you KIDDING me? I decided then and there that my conversation with these ladies was coming to a close. Of all the things to worry about when it comes to a precious baby...I am thinking that birthstone would be dead last. Maybe thats just me.

OK so I do have to laugh at this, and admit that I did all in my power to NOT have Emma in August...(really she came when she was supposed to after all that happend afterwards, but...) Emma was due the 12th of Augst but she ended up being born at 11:58pm on July 31st...so she still gets the July Ruby! I admit August's birthstone is not the most beautiful of stones, but I would have been happy either way!
I was born in August and freely admit that I don't have the most enviable birthstone, but come on!!! That's a really lame reason--there must be deeper issues under the surface. Crazy!
That makes me so mad. People are so dumb. Who the heck thinks of crap like that. What color birthstone? I like to have my babies in the Spring but it's not because I like the birthstones. I just don't want to look like a beached whale when it's 110 degrees outside. There are some people out there who clearly shouldn't have children. When its time to have a baby Heavenly Father is going to send them when ever.
amen!!! i can give a few different reasonsto add to the list of why some people should not be allowed to have children!
