A note to Mothers

So I may not be a mother. I definatly didn't go through that whole initiation period where you carry around a baby for 9 months and then push it out a very...very small hole, and therefore i would not call myself an expert. However, as a daughter, and a bystandard let me give you a piece of advise. Even if you have already convinced the father of not doing the thing that will make your child the most depressed being on the planet do not tell the child about the issue. I mean if it's all settled is there a reason to say "I didn't want to show up and hand you a dead cat." No there is NEVER a reason to say this. Especially if that cat has been with the child since it was a kitten. My mother did this to me today. I was shocked, mortified and disgusted.

That is my advice to all mothers.

oh yeah, and don't go into Borders and ask "If I become a member can I borrow books like at a library?"

Rachel... I don't fully understand your post, but I do get the feeling that something may have happened to Tramples. If that's the case, I'm really really sorry. I'm good and depressed now. :-(

Tramples is fine. But my father wanted to do something that would more lickly have killed her, and my mom's reasoning against it was that she didn't want to travel with a dead cat. Yeah...my family is weird
