Stuff and WTF.

Having my two kids is my greatest achievement ever!

How is popping something the size of a watermelon out of your cooch, like EVERY OTHER ANIMAL ON EARTH DOES, your greatest achievement? HOW?! Someone please explain this to me, because I can't understand the great pride one has in getting knocked up and devoting the rest of their life to some screamling, mewling brat.

I DON'T GET IT.

RAISING kids is an achievement. HAVING them isn't, like you said.

I beg to differ.

Take me as an example. I am incapable of becoming pregnant, yet have the strong urge to have children. This depresses me beyond words. If, however, the technology were invented to solve my dillema, I would jump at the chance. This would also mean saving massive amounts of money for the procedure- as no insurance company will cover an elective surgery, which is what it would be classified as.

Becoming pregnant and actually having children would, at that point in my life, be my greatest acheivement.

Similar circumstances, not involing the development of the technology, but requiring a lot of medical help to become pregnant would warrant similar feelings as well. Since there is no context to this quote, I would assume this would be one of such situations.

Well, your case it pretty special. So I can understand, in your case, that having a child would be a pretty big achievement.

But for people who can pop kids out every time they get the chance, it's really not. :P

I'm just defending the general population, since the quote lacks context. Hell, for all I know, she could be just like me! :3

*facepalm* I was speaking generally. Which, I've learned, is some kind of sin.
Yes, you're right; in your circumstances, that WOULD be a great achievement and something to be proud of, as opposed to just Proud That This Is My Child.

Generally, I agree with you. :3

"Cooch" is my new favorite word. I'm going to use it often.

Glad I could be of service. :D

Well, atleast infants are tasty and stay crunchy in milk.

That's an achievement.

As someone above said, it's more a matter of Raising children. Example: My mom tells me that all the time.

It's not a matter of just squeezing a kid out thats the achievement. It's raising that child to be a decent, considerate human being, ESPECIALLY with how good parenting is so rare in today's day and age. When you raise someone to be a mature, considerate, tolerant person, then it probably makes you feel really good when you look at all the dumbasses.

If someone manages to explain it to you, let me know, 'cause I don't get it either.

Having and successfully raising two kids, I would consider. (or forsolei's answer)
