Freaking Kids

Ok so those of you who know me know that I'm not a kid person, there are a few kids I like & when I have to I will tolerate children but I don't last long. My point on all of this is when the hell did everyone go from fun to parents? I'm beyond irritated by people who friend request me on sites like Facebook & MySpace & all the photos they have posted are of their children...how the hell am I supposed to know who they are? Also, every single status update involves their child...WTF? When I was a kid my parents lives did not revolve around me, sure I got what I wanted & was rarely told no, they carted me all over the place to dance & art classes & ice skating & to the movies but they had lives. My parents dumped me with a baby sitter at least once a week & when I heard my mom on the phone she wasn't talking about me, she was talking about herself or her friends & my dad...shit my dad's whole life revolved around himself & it still does. Yes, when it counted he was there, recitals, graduations, birthdays...etc but on a daily basis we all had our own lives so I just don't get why everybodys pages have to revolve around their kids! Facebook should seriously be renamed to Familybook because that's all it is, posts about taking kids to the Doctor & having no time for themselves & follow my pregnancy & all that other crap, if I really wanted to know I'd ask wouldn't I? I didn't join Facebook to find out what is going with your KIDS, we weren't friends in high school, you & I were so why not tell me how YOU are doing?!!! I understand that you have children & yay you if that's what you want but really, do you honestly think that everyone wants to hear all about your kids? These people really need to regain their identities before they are gone forever!
