Reply #118: Maybe you could put 'I falsely assume all mothers like children!' on the back!

What makes you think that just because someone's a mother that they like children? I dislike them even though I'm a mother. The only person who refers to me as 'Mom this and Mom that' is my daughter, and if anyone's got a problem with that, screw them coz it's none of their business when it comes to the relationship between my child and I. The other area where there's an overlap is at work, where they get serious about this thing called work/life balance and take into account that parents (that's fathers just as much as mothers) have to stay home sometimes and look after sick kidlets or leave early to pick them up, etc. I don't see that as invasive or not acknowledging that us parents are 'talented innovative individuals' - it's being pragmatic and making our work environment more flexible....
