Technically, having children is the definition of being a parent.

Unfortunately there are those who are simply donors and have no business being incorrectly referred to as parents no matter the grammar. One needs to parent as a verb in order to earn the title as a noun. Hopefully for the childrens sake, the title includes an adjective such as loving.

My mother should not have been a parent. I chose not to follow in her footsteps.

My mother should not have been a parent either. I refuse to follow in her footsteps too. Wish more people would take note of this. If your kids think this about you, it’s not a good sign. Don’t have kids if you’re not ready to give up your entire life and financials for them for at least 18 years, sorry.

My sister should not have had kids. All three are in foster care...in three different foster homes. It's tragic.

For some wealthy people, having a piano is a status symbol. My successful aunt had one and I don't think anyone in that house played. In fact, pretty sure no one was allowed to touch it.

What? It only works if you neglect your children the way you neglect your piano. Trying to take good care of your children teaches you to be a good parent just like playing your piano teaches you how to be a better pianist.

Somehow I feel this quote is missing a doctor reference too... 8+ years of college does not make an intelligent doctor....

I kinda like this world. But then again I compare it to life for humans before technology and plumbing especially so I think we have got it pretty damn good.

Why would anyone want to be famous? I'll take rich for sure. But to have no privacy and everyone looking at you and in your business? No wonder many very famous people eventually go nuts, or just lose touch with reality.

Similar to my favourite Mark Twain: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt. I believe Lincoln said something similar.
