Never had the urge #3!!!!!!

LateNight · 09-20-2007, 08:01 PM

o.k. so maybe I never had the "urge" but I will admit, there was a time or two.. when my first son very little.. doin' that middle of the night, pacing, holding on to him, with him just screamin'.. he probably had an ear infection at the time, and a fever.. and I was weary from lack of sleep.. there's those times when it's almost more than a person can handle.. now I never SHOOK him, but man there were times when I felt like I was at the end of my rope.

I've always wondered about parents of those kids who have collic (sp?) and they just cry and cry.. I've heard of that just driving some parents over the edge.

I'm not condoning anyone's actions here (I haven't even read the story) I'm just saying, I know that it can be "tough". me and wife took turns during those latenight episodes.. don't know how I would of handled it being a single parent.

My first born was a colicky baby and no matter how long or hard she cried I never had the urge to throw her. Now I was tempted to throw my now ex-mother in law at the time who wanted to tell me everything I was doing wrong to cause the colic. I wonder how many of us have wanted to throw the mother in law!!!!

LOL, I don't mind my "mother-in-law" so much.. it's the STEP-MOTHER-IN-LAW I got some real ****IN' issues with.

I never had the urge to throw an infant, but once my kiddos grew up and opened their smart mouth, well, they tested me. The good news is that we all made it out unscathed. I guess I pass the test.

>Well now pole if you think that killing unborn children is a good thing then I can see why you do not think this is sad. Now you walk up and punch a pregnant woman and kill the baby you go to jail for fratricide. My thoughts on this are both are murder.

1. I don't think killing unborn children is a good thing.

2. It would only be fratricide if the kid was my brother.

I was asking why "If she had done this two months earlier it would have been legal" is sad. (assuming that was true, which it's not)

Then killing partially born children is bad too right? That's the way I feel about it. Born, UnBorn, Partially Born, it doesn't matter to me. Killing is wrong. Well unless you kill (murder) someone first in cold blood. Then we ought to kill you right back (capital punishment) Hey I never said I was logical.....

There is something known as late term abortion. I know you are math guy so go figure. Did you ever hear of the constipated mathematician ? He worked it out with a pencil
