004: the emotionally challenged and the financially blessed

[mothersmemory]

It seems that bad parenting isn't a thing of the past. Although parents aren't sacrificing their children to gods any more, they seem to still be pushing their children down the path of an early death

They lie to them too. And fuck things up - and it's not only mothers. It's fathers and brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles too.

They're all the ones to blame.

...

Are you alright?

[iffygenes]

No

Are you?

[mothersmemory]

That wasn't my question.

... I would be a terrible mother.

[mothersmemory]

Then I respectfully request that you do not have children.

Remarks like that can be hurtful, especially if my assessment of my own capacity for parenthood is inaccurate.

[mothersmemory]

Neither of us know if your assessment of your own capacity for parenthood is inaccurate. But if you do think you would make a bad parent, then I don't think having a child would be the best choice for you.

I am glad you are choosing to do much good for the children, ανάσα μου.

[mothersmemory]

It's the least I can do whilst I am here.

If I asked
Are you busy

When do you begin work?

[mothersmemory]

I have the files of a few families and children in need and I've visited my office a few times. I don't officially start work until next week.

[mothersmemory]

I think that's horrible!

Thank you. Your faith in me is always reassuring.

[mothersmemory]

I thought the human race would have grown out of neglecting their offspring. I stand corrected.

A good thing indeed ^^

Oh, I don't know..that doesn't sound all that bad.

[mothersmemory]

You wouldn't.

Rebelliousness builds character. My step-mother tried to kill me, my mother was sent to the underworld, and my father wasn't able to visit me as a child. And look at how I turned out!

[giftofmadness]

Correction; Dearest Hera technically killed me twice.
