VA: The New Definition of a Bastard Child
Jan 30th, 2008
Once I write something, I usually like to leave it be. I absolutely, positively hate going back and explaining shit even when it’s clear the majority of people have missed […]
Original post: The New Definition of a Bastard Child



Hmm, ‘bullocks’ is a British slang word. Didn’t see that coming…
I thought it was ‘bollocks’, but a load of bullocks sounds much more intriguing…
How about a load of bullocks’ bollocks?
Now here I totally agree with you and I’m so glad you clarified. Thanks for takin the time. I’m in the first category of women who got pregnant love and want to be with the “baby daddy” and did end up marrying him because of that but not because I was pregnant.
I want to hear V talk more politics. Yeah!
Yeah! VA is back slamming people! Me likey!
I totally agree! Hell, Jarmane and I have split up more times than I can count and we’re still getting a legal marriage in March and I’ve only had two abortions so far and everything’s been fine.
The first one was like, Jar wasn’t around and paying for bills and stuff so I just saved what my mom was giving me and gave birth 7 months early LOL
Then I told Jarmane what happened and we hooked back up and almost had another one.. ain’t no shame in playin’ the game LOL
My mom died about a month into my second “child” so I gave up on that one and me and Jarmane are getting a legal marraige FINALLY in Marche or June and I AM SO HAPPY
VA is so RIGHT ON when she says don’t get married to the wrong guy cause it’s like what if you get stuck with that shit and he’s on his way out and you’re broke..
Please don’t ever let that “W” person on here ever, ever again.
Yes, this is clearer, but you made the point pretty fuckin’ obvious the first time and I’m both amused and saddened by the fact that this post even exists.
I completely agree with V on this one. A lot of the girls in my extended family are getting knocked up and it’s getting to the point were I’m the odd girl out who doesn’t have an illegitimate child of some dude I can barely stand.
It’s depressing because it’s nearly concrete proof that I’m the only girl in my family who plans on amounting to anything more than a womb. Hell, I’m not even sure if I want to have kids, if only because they’re damned expensive. I want to have the time and money to travel and actually see the world before I “settle down”.
Their attitude seems to be along the lines of “Eh, I’m not doing anything productive anyways. Why not.” Which is probably the most stupid reason to do anything which amounts to a life long commitment.
Blah, blah, blah.
If she’d felt people got her point in the first place she would not have clarified.
Anyone in particular get your goat V ?
That’ll do.
I like this article better than the original. I absolutely agree, having a baby is a far greater commitment than marriage. But I didn’t like what you said in the first article about missing the days when society tried to shame unwed motherhood. Nothing but negativity came from that, particularly for the poor child who was a product of such a circumstance - he was stigmatized as an illegitimate bastard for the rest of his life. As if it was somehow his fault. How is that fair?
