Please shut up

It's all about you isn't it? Your children have to be dressed and fed and escorted to play dates and taken to school and it's all too much. It's just not right. Attention must be paid.

Suck it up. We're tired of your whining.

First, it was your eating disorder. Of course you had an eating disorder. Society was forcing you to starve yourself.

Next, society lied to you about your prospects for marriage, making you feel desperate.

Then, you found out that pregnancy really sucked. And breastfeeding wasn't all that great either.

Now you're suffering from Mommy Madness. And it's just not fair. You spent all night making rose radishes for your daughter's 7th birthday party and all anybody cared about was the birthday cake.

What next? The indignities of middle-aged spread? Society's failure to compensate you for the facial hair you acquired during menopause?

Enough already.
