Do you have reading comprehension problems? I answered what my problem is with this rant in my very first response, and every response thereafter. You are moaning and complaining about the length of a ceremony meant to celebrate your husband’s accomplishments, which will occur exactly ONCE in his life, that you were under no obligation to go to, that you knew in advance would be long and tedious. You are ranting and raving for the sake of ranting and raving. That is my problem with your post.
The ceremony was not for you. It was not for your daughter. It was not for your grandmother. It was for the people that wanted to be there, to help celebrate the accomplishment of the graduate. Since you very clearly didn’t fall into the category of people who wanted to be there, you SHOULDN’T HAVE GONE. How difficult is that to understand?!
As an aside to your continued personal attacks and insults, please understand, with all sincerity, that I could not possibly care less of your opinion of me. If your aim is to hurt me in some way, I encourage you to not bother, as it is a waste of keyboard-clicking time.
You know why I don’t have any children? Because I know I’m not willing to make the sacrifices that parenthood involves. When you decided to have a child, your life stopped being yours. Being a parent is the equivalent of making continued, never-ending sacrifices. You had to know that in advance, but you chose to have a child anyway, and then decided that the world is wrong for forcing you to make sacrifices. YOU decided to have the child, YOU must deal with making sacrifices. I choose not to do that. I’m sure you think that only adds to the list of reasons I’m “despicable”, but again, I really don’t care what you think of me.
