Notes:

This is not your forum to identify and call out specific people just to call them assholes. Call out general actions you find reprehensible, mod ability/inability, that kind of stuff, but once you get into what basically amounts to 'this person is a stupid bitch and here are some icons/an lj layout/add. info to identify them with' - no.

Thank you, and I honestly mean that - for the last sentence that is.

Like I said,I do not know what I'd realistically do in that situation, but I get very distressed being so much as in the same room with a baby if they're crying. Last time someone asked me to watch one (and it was just like for 30 minute or so) I sat in the room with my MP3-player plugged in being halfway to hysteria. I just bolted out the second someone else who could take care of it came in. Since then I make a point of not being in that situation again.

If I'd be forced to be in that situation, I honestly don't know how I'd react. Which is generally why I make sure not to be.

I generally wish babies no harm, but I am not actually capable of interacting with them. Which is why the anti-choice stance in the abortion discussion is such a horrible one to me, and any suggestion of being forced to take care of an infant actually evokes very strong emotions..

[(Anonymous)]

No, I get it. I totally understand the strong emotions thing. I had a stillbirth about a year ago, so the whole "dead baby" thing kind of gets my back up. But I do completely understand your position- you shouldn't be forced to have or watch a baby you don't want to care for.

It's not exactly the same, but I'm terrified of dogs, and wouldn't want to be stuck looking after one.

So no hard feelings?

No hard feelings - and I'm very sorry for your loss. I understand that it is a horrible thing to lose a child that you do want.

I have also put it quite strongly yesterday; and realistically I probably couldn't bring myself to let someone die. But that doesn't mean it would bring me great distress, which is what I was expressing.

I was more or less "forced" to take care of my grandmother on her deathbed when my Mom wasn't around. And while fortunately we had a carer coming to the house to change the diapers and the worst stuff, it still gives me nightmares, even though I loved her to bits. Ever since then I pretty much cringe at the thought of not being able to just walk out and have someone depend on my with their life. I guess that's pretty much my own personal trauma, and it's a large factor in my not having kids.

So anyway, no hard feelings, I hope.

[(Anonymous)]

No hard feelings. And thank you, I appreciate it.

And I'm sorry you had to go through that with your grandmother. I don't blame you for feeling the way you do, after going through that.

So no hard feelings. :)
