Bullshit yourself. Read what I wrote instead of what you want to hear.
Did I say we are focussed obsessively on our children 24/7? I merely stated they are always in the back of our minds. In no way did I suggest you cannot have other thoughts or activities.
Where did I say “…all likes, dislikes, hobbies, habits, etc. are gone and forgotten.”?
I have an extensive list of activities, talents, and hobbies as well as a demanding job, but I’m still consciousness of my kids and family. It’s called multi-tasking, try it.
Forgetting happens more frequently the older we get too. I think most of my friends noticed a definite change after 30. All of you young people have no clue how easily your own brain can betray you.
Forgetting is also a side effect of sleep deprivation.
New infants often (always?) result in sleep deprivation for one parent or the other or both.
This wasn’t intended to be a statement in fact it was an attempt to explain the outrage in the RO to Jacqui.
I don’t understand. How can you explain something without making statements? Aren’t the following two sentences:
“If I can try to explain… good, caring parents can’t “forget” their children. They are in our hearts and on our minds constantly, from morning to night and even in our dreams.”
supposed to be statements which serve to explain your skepticism toward, and the outrage of some at the incidents in question? And if they are statements meant to explain, aren’t they supposed to be taken as true?
If you don’t think the abovequoted are true statements, then how do you expect them to explain anything? Why did you say them? And if you don’t think they are true statements, do you then think they are false? If you think they’re false, how can you justify having asserted them? And if you think they are not statements, how can you explain the appearance, from grammar, that they are statements, by definition?
I think it’s clear you believe the thoughts expressed by the two quoted sentences. And I think the two sentences are plainly false. And I think this is the central issue. If the sentences are true, then no one who ever forgets about their children, even for a second, is a good parent. If they are false, then someone can forget about their children for a second or maybe even longer and still be a good parent. Outrage is appropriate only at blameworthy people–and only bad parents are blameworthy for parenting mistakes. So, only if the statements are true is your outrage (or skepticism, I don’t know if you were outraged) justified. The truth of your statements is utterly central to your position.

Indeed, for many parents, it’s torture, literally, by Geneva Convention definitions.

I mean to refer to the fact that waking someone up every three hours is considered torture. And infants can wake you up alot more than that.
Exactly, now you’re getting it and it only took you 2000 words.
Now look up pedantic.
Peace I’m out!
Since in the post you are responding to here, I expressed nothing I hadn’t already expressed in my previous post more succinctly, it appears you are the one who is “now getting it.” It required 2000 words to explain my previous post to you.

Of course, good, caring parents keep their children up front in their minds. See what an easy game this is to play?
Of course not. You merely said
You should be awareness that self-congratulation is a vice, not a hobby, especially when it’s centered on condemning others who demonstrate flaws you don’t (or at least claim not to) have. Yet. Consider that for some kids, interaction with parents is doing them no special favors.
