What is happening to us as a society?

This from the Daily Mail (yes, yes I know, a conservative rag, certainly not up to the editorial standards of the Guardian or some other Che Guavera loving fishwrap): Mother proudly declares 'my children bore me to death and I do everything I can to avoid spending time with them'.

What does it say when a woman like this is applauded and paid to voice this garbage?

Is it any wonder that children are abused by adults? Their own parents declare them to be boring and unfit company and wish as little to do with them as possible...

To answer Ms. Kirwan-Taylor's rhetorical questions... No, not wanting to read your children bedtime stories doesn't make you selfish and an unfit mother. Deciding that whatever you want is more imporant than what the children need, and their needs be damned for your enjoyment... that does. We all do things we find unpleasant. Personally, changing my daughter's soiled diapers doesn't really do it for me. But I don't leave her in feces filled diapers all day because that would crimp my style.... some people just aren't worth the oxygen they consume each day...
