Breeder-itis rears its ugly head…

Yeah, we’ve all gotten that bingo before. You know the one. The one about how we’re selfish and immature for not wanting to have kids. Well, that may be true occasionally, but the childed are not immune to selfishness and immaturity as we’ve known for quite some time.
The other day at work, [...]

Sneakers from Hell

I’ve had this post on the back burner for a while but after today’s incident, I feel inspired to post.  Does anyone one else absolutely DESPISE those awful creations called Heelys?  In case you are blessed not to have dealt with this horrible invention, I’ll fill you in.  These are sneakers that have a single [...]

Souped-up Sprogs

I was perusing my usual headlines this afternoon, when I came across this article.
I mean, what better way to accommodate the busy soccer mom than to get her kiddies jacked up on caffeine too? Besides, since when do kids like coffee (or even chai tea)? I don’t care if it’s just your average [...]

It’s called saying “NO”

This is apparently an elusive word these days. Day in and day out I see parents catering to their child’s every whim. If the kid wants this or that, the parents give in and give it to them just to avoid an argument. What you get is these spoiled little brats that [...]

Please take your baby elsewhere…

I’ve posted about this before. An ad agency (or any office) is no place for kids, especially newborns. I realize that parents want to show off their new “bundle of joy” (or bundle of hell, in my opinion), but honestly, do you really have to bring your five-month-old to the office?
I am currently [...]

Whoever gets pregnant first wins! Woo!

Oh. My. God. As if people need to “glorify” having children any more, Russia has decided to make it a contest. They have now declared September 12, the Day of Conception in hope that it will lead to a plethora of babies being born on their “National Day” which happens to be 9 [...]

Letter to Parents

Dear Parents/Breeders:
I am writing to inform you that although your little heathen child, might be the light of your life and the center of your world, we couldn’t care less. While you’re life may now consist of changing diapers, drool, and 2 a.m. feedings, there is absolutely no reason to share those [...]

Workplace Ruckus

I think I mentioned before that I work at a rather large, fast-paced advertising agency. There are not usually that many dull moments, and the majority of my time consists of planning media, meeting deadlines, keeping clients happy, etc. I’ve been under an unusual amount of stress the past couple of weeks due [...]

Children should not be seen OR heard…

Today, I was at the mall shopping during my lunch break (it’s basically right across the street from the office, so why not?). While I was thumbing through some shirts on the sale rack in one store, a mom and her two kids walked in. One child was an infant in a stroller [...]
