"and to the extent that the reproductive free Miss Frost is serious, she's got some serious issues."
And why is that? We all have to like kids because you do?
I hate the little buggers. Don't have any, won't have any. And don't expect me to put up with and tolerate yours.
That will cause a major conflict.
You got some serious psycho problems boy.
That's pathetic. I can see being annoyed by misbehaving kids, and have been myself, but anyone who can't take pleasure in the smile and wonder of a kid is deficient.
The former is an idiosyncrasy that can be accepted -- especially in crotchety old characters who enjoy being feared and avoided. It's almost endearing.
The latter is a pathology which loathes the continuation of mankind on the planet. Hating children is like hating the future, like hating mankind. It's simply not acceptable.
We were all kids once. Adults obviously tolerated you or you wouldn't still be here. I too want parents to use good discipline, but "adults" who hate kids remind me of kids in their 20's who hate the immaturity of 17-yr olds.
Humility is needed.
Children are God's most profound and perfect gift to the world. I feel sorry for all sorts of people, but I feel especially sorry for someone who can't love a child.
