Wonder why I dont want kids? Look at what the world has come to.
Bitch at me for not using a tag or whatever, but I think this needs to be put in your faces. Everyone's faces. Imagine someone coming to take your pet away because they say his kind is dangerous. IT HUMANITY THATS DANGEROUS TO THESE ANIMALS

Wow, Yeah I heard about this. I do have a couple friends with pitbulls, but I wasn't sure if it is actually going into effect.. I think because we know it's not going to pass. As much bullshit California really is, we're way too "green" of a state to allow this to pass. I just think no one cares because if the state DOES pass it, they will have hell from all of us and Peta.. they know what they're in for, and they're scared. The pressure that has been put on them for everything from animals rights, fishing, factory farming, to air quality, emissions, protecting the land.. it's really focused and the people are the ones who come up with the new laws and have them petitioned to pass. If they go through with this it will cause rioting I'm sure. I haven't even heard too much about it which means that it most likely isn't an issue. I hope I'm right :(
I used to be so involved with animal rights and the environment, as a member of the sierra club and Peta, and many others.. but after getting pregnant I wasn't vegan because I wasn't getting enough cholesterol and protein to feed the baby, so I just became so absorbed with everything else going on that I lost touch of what I cared about the most... so now he's 6 months and I am done breastfeeding so I am trying to go back to veganism and get more involved but it's so hard and I feel so guilty :(
I said the same thing too.. I want to ban all "bad food." I mean I don't eat so bad I guess.. my biggest craving when I was pregnant was Salmon and the occasional milkshake, so I guess it could have been worse, but I swore I will never give the baby any junk food, and my boyfriend made a good point about how we as kids would get pissed off at our parents if they took out Halloween candy away, things like that. So I have to have some leniency every now and then I think with the media and the entire country pointing their fingers at moms every time something happens to their children, it is so hard to feel like we are doing the right thing. I constantly feel pressured and almost monitored instead of just trusting myself and living a happy life. I am so stressed out that I am doing something wrong while my baby is perfectly healthy, never had a fever or anything, so I guess AI just need to turn off the news and trust myself.
I think it's so extreme, either we throw out ALL junk food or they live of Happy Meals. I think we're just so pressured that we're letting fast food nation get us all riled up and depressed and feel like a failure. We just need to have moderation, something our country has yet to learn,. I'm first generation American, so it is still very hard for me, after 25 years, to grasp what the hell we are teaching our citizens. Dieting, fads, trends... no one is happy. We overwork and get sick from not having time to ourselves. We need to teach our children to be happy and healthy, not feel pressured that we have to take everything away from them or give them everything they want. Ugh. I just want to move :(
Do you have a boy or girl?

Yeah I felt like we'd hijacked her journal too, oopsie! Lol.
I'm not banning ALL the bad food, but I was just put on a strict no dairy diet for breast feeding. So that's an adjustment. I figure if I start out being a bit heavy on the super health foods, then by the time he's eating solids, I'll have relaxed enough in it to have a nice balace. In cases of extreme obesity in this country, I feel alot of time it is the family's faults. You cant have a baby and start pounding fast food in enormous quantities down here throat as soon as she's walking. All that baby will know is junk, and large portions. My husband is British and even though they're getting to a point where obesity is a problem, they still, as a whole, have smaller portions and healthier diets. America doesn't have that. Living in the deep south, weight and unhealthy eating habits are so much worse in this part of the country. The midwest isn't perfect, but the people are nicer, better educated and generally healthier. I hate it down here. I can totally relate to the wanting to move.
Where do you come from? Im from Ohio personally. American as far back as anyone can remember, but in alot of ways Im becoming so ashamed and frustrated at how our Government is treating other countries and it's own people. It's a shame. I just can't believe the American people have let it get this far.
Im jealous that you have a 6 month old! I have a boy, and I can't wait until he's old enough to sleep through the night. Im so exhausted all the time. Do you have a boy or girl? What did you name him or her? We chose Mason Pierce. My husband was convinced it was a girl until the 20 week ultrasound and refused to chose a boy's name until he saw those extra bits. If he were a girl, his name would have been Sydney Temperance.
How long did it take you to get used to all this "Mommy" business? Im still in shock!
