    Am no fan of Justin Bieber, but someone needs to stop those ridiculous but malicious cyber bullying.

    to my grandpa: throughout your life you didn't care about the family. now that you're down, no one cares about you either. you sealed your fate a long time ago to perish unloved.

    Do children who grow up become more responsible and parents less responsible? I have gotten my mom out of so many oh-crap-I-screwed-up moments. I walked like a mile or half a mile in the cold to get my mom cuz she managed to lock herself out of the car. I thought the daughter or son was suppose to mess up and have the parent clean it up.
    I just love how you Captivate My Mind

    I understand this feeling. I think that sometimes it's the child that will love their parents unconditionally rather than vice versa. I'm not saying your parents don't love you unconditionally, it's just that you've proven to be there more often for them than they have for you. When I've needed my parents most, they have never been there for me. I love them very much and am willing to deal with and overlook many things too but I have not given them the right to interfere with major decisions in my life as a result of coming to this conclusion. I love and adore my parents and I don't doubt they feel the same for me. But I'm quite positive if I were any less successful or not so good at saving their "face"...I wouldn't be treated as the "pearl in the palm" as I am now. I have witnessed them "shaming" other peoples daughters while being smug with their own.

    I'm not perfect. I'm just really discreet.

    It's surprising to me how closed-minded some people can be when it comes to adoption. There are so many unwanted children out there in need of love and a home. To me, "family" has always been more about the bond/experiences that you share rather than biology. In the future, I plan on having one child of my own and adopting a second.

    Look how menacing he is.

    On the other hand, look how well the orphanage does at raising achievers.

    I agree. I have a cousin who once told me that "you [me, her, anyone] would never love an adopted child like you would love your own biological child." I guess that explains why she was never as generous with our adopted nephew [another cousin's] as she was with her own children. To think that the child's adoptive mother [in her absence] entrusted her child's welfare to such a person. That poor child...children know when they're are singled out by adults in treatment. This is why I tend favor him [at the disapproval of other relatives] especially more so than my blood related nieces and nephews --he makes my heart ache. I don't love the others less, I just worry about him a little bit more. I'd like to adopt one of my own someday.

    just learned that chickens only live, from birth to death, 6 weeks before being slaughtered for food.

    I think even if the kid is not adopted, your cousin will still treat him less generously.

    Nephew vs own children

    Will always love own children.

    Yes, I agree that conclusion.

    ---

    I wonder why some people procrastinate? Is it really from sheer laziness? How about procrastinating in completing something that would affect your career or studies? Is this laziness or perhaps something more profound? For example, procrastination from fear of failure or even fear of responsibility of success or recognition?
