Can I Borrow Your Kid?

Alicea and Isaiah

Have you heard about

NBC’s new show the Baby Borrowers?  Its fun to watch, but man do I feel sorry

for these teenagers on this show.  Well not all of them.  Morgan and Alicea, are stupid.  I mean ignorant in the full definition of the term, and they should not be on television because they look really really incompetent, and should be embarrassed of how they came off on T.V.  Their parents should be embarrassed too.  It looks like they didn’t raise them, so now they can’t cope with spending a week with a baby or a toddler.  The main point people like Morgan and Alicea need to take from this show is raising kids means your lif

e is done.  Being a parent is a self-less job, and those two girls are really selfish so that is where most of their problems stemmed from.

Of course those two girls aren’t the only two who had a problem with the tasks of the show.  I mean duh, its

a bunch of teenagers trying thrown into the responsibility of raising a family.  They should definitely see they are not ready to do this at all, because this show is just the scaled down version of raising kids.  This show still allows for the hope that at the end of the week, these kids are back with their parents, and they don’t have actual bills to pay, so imagine if they had to do this for reals (I know I wrote real with an s) they would probably jump off a cliff, or seriously damage their kids.  Or they might step up to the plate

, who knows for sure, because sometimes under great stress we can do great things.  Still with these teenage couples I wouldn’t risk it.  They need condoms, as many as they can find.  And Birth Control they should get the shots and the pills just to be safe.

I on the other hand, can raise a kid.  However, I know I don’t really really want to right now, but if it w

ere thrust upon me I’m sure I could handle it.  I’ve been working with kids for several years, sure I’m in my early 20s but I’m ready, and I’ve seen it all.  I’ve taken care of babies, toddlers, kids, teens, and adults.  I’ve cleaned the poop of all ages, and have taken care of a house full of kids alone.  I have great parenting skills, but I know the job is never easy no matter how prepared you think you are, so I look forward to being a parent, but with caution not just blind joy.

Still, I dream of getting married having kids the whole 9 yards.  I hope my husband is as used to kids as I am though, and patient.  Patience is key, and not just with the kids.  You have to be patient with yourself too, because you’re going to make a mistake.  The mistake hurts you sooo bad because you worry that it

hurt the child, but if you don’t learn and move on then you’ll be hurting the child even more.  Its a difficult balance.  Still one day, I hope to have my own family with my super hott husband.  Yes, he will be gorgeous or else I won’t have a husband.  lol…you think I’m kidding.

Why Am I Not Married?

Weddings.  They are some of the most beautiful celebrations of life, and I can’t wait to have mine.

Marriage.  Scares the SHIT out of me, and I am not anywhere near prepared for that.  I’ve never even been in a serious relationship.  Longest boyfriend, if you can call him that, lasted, what, 2 weeks in my sophomore year of college.  Yeah, I’m perpetually single.

Really, I would love to have a wedding, or be a part of one, right now.  Why? because I love to party, but I don’t want the actual marriage that goes with it.  Just the pretty dress, the hot guy, the jewels, the food, and duh the party.  Obviously, I should just have a party, and I’m not looking for the big I DO.

But, so many of my friends are either promised to someone, engaged or MARRIED, or even MARRIED…with a BABY.  YIKES.  Whenever I receive a new announcement for an engagement or wedding, or even baby, I get a little sick inside.  One of the first guys I ever had a crush on, when I was like 5, is getting married.  I remember when he said he’d marry me, and we laughed and laughed.  Now he really doing it, just not to me.  I don’t think he’s laughing now, he’s serious.  That’s scary.

I feel OLD all of a sudden, I feel like I want to hide.  I used to think I wanted to be married by the time I was 23 or 24, I thought I would be.  Well I’m here.  I’ll be 23 in what 2.5 months? I don’t feel anywhere near old enough for marriage, I don’t even feel 22.  I feel like 19, I feel like I have sooo much time.  I’m not ready to be tied down.  Why are my friends getting tied down?  Why are they being so serious?  Why is my best guy friend buying a condo in downtown Chicago, while I’m still living with my parents and in college, with no idea what I’m going to do, I haven’t even planned for tomorrow…and I should cuz I’m competing in a pageant!!!

I just had to post about how weirded out I am right now.  I just learned a friend of mine just had a baby, and he gushed over her beautiful green eyes, little mouth and hands.

I have never had sex. Never had a serious boyfriend. Babies are light-years away for me.  So that’s why I’m not married, and won’t be for a long-ass time.
