Vetting childishness
Oct. 20th, 2003 05:11 pmWe are childer free once more, though I am sad to not hear "baba" anymore. Stormy is such an adorable child and he is a handful!! I'm amazed how well his mom does with him, especially considering she's the caregiver 90% of the time. Thoroughly impressive. The three cats are now interacting, though, so childish drama remains. I woke several times in the night with my Tadeus curled up as close to me as he could get - usually pinning down one or more of my arms - with my face full of fur. The first couple of times I thought it must be Jaspurr (Taddy hasn't been a cuddler since he was ten or eleven weeks), but one of the last times I woke up enough to realize that was, in fact, my very own ball of fur. The poor thing has been thoroughly traumatized. First this ...baby invaded, and now this cat (which he wasn't pleased about even when it was in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shingan's room) is strutting around like he owns the place and chasing Taddy under the bed! Thankfully, Jaspurr isn't as passive as Tai was, so instead Taddy is running scared. Cruel as it may sound, this is a far better situation for a quick resolution; my cat is a coward and a bully. On the upside, he seems to be adjusting decently, but I still feel awful about how badly I socialized him.

"Why is it that as soon as a couple have a child, they suddenly claim that you can't fully experience life until you are a parent, or womanhood until you are a mother?"
I less object to the suggestion that motherhood is "the ultimate experience" and more object to the entitlement parents seem to feel based on the fact that parenthood is the most important thing. It seems like the ultimate trump card to any argument these days is "think of the children." ( Deo rants once more! )
