Title: wondering...can we give n "birthing agents" a diff name?
Post by: reallyME on October 30, 2007, 12:15:57 PM

As I read these posts and threads, it occurs to me how difficult it has been to see these villans as "parents" "mothers" "fathers" of you all.  Whereas I understand that those were the only "parents" you have ever known, to me, it still does not make them actually parents of any kind.

I wanted to clarify my thoughts about this, so maybe you'd know where I'm coming from.  To me, a parent, a mother, a father, does NOT DO the things those people in your lives have.  These are actual dictionary definitions of the words, parent, mother, father.  If the person who birthed you, does not line up with these defitions, until and unless they do, in my eyes, I have a problem writing to you about you "mother" "father" "parent"

Ok, I already stand corrected on the first word...PARENT.  I guess I can call them THAT at least...they did bring you "up" so to speak, and begot you, birthed you. NEXT...

1 a: one that begets or brings forth offspring b: a person who brings up and cares for another

Ok, guess I'm corrected on this one again...MOTHER...I can justifiably consider the female birther of you a mother.

1 a: a female parent b (1): a woman in authority; specifically : the superior of a religious community of women (2): an old or elderly woman

Again, FATHER fits too:

1 a: a man who has begotten a child; also :

Ok, tell ya what, I'd like to hear from Hops, what the people of her faith believe a mother, father or parent is.  The dictionary obviously tells us that anyone who births and raises children is to be considered a parent, father, mother.  I disagree wholeheartedly.  What say you, Hopalong?

My suggestions.....

Accidental womb donors

Accidental sperm donors

Narcissists can NEVER be parents in any sense of the word!

Someone on here (sorry, can't remember who) used to refer to her N mother as a 'breeder' and an 'incubator'.

After the birth, it could have been a robot as far as a caring, maternal human being goes.

I refer to mine as 'my father's ex-wife', or I call her 'Joan'. That's her name. It's nothing to do with me, now.

How's about calling them "Prissies" from Gone With the Wind?

"Lawdy Miss Scarlett, I don't know nothin' bout birthin' no babies!"

Just substitute"raisin" for "birthin". :P

I always liked the saying, anyone can be a father (mother) but it takes someone special to be a dad (mom).  Meaning that anyone can create a baby, but to truly be a parent, you have to do a little more.

I don't have any suggestions on what to call them.  I'd just as soon forget they exist.

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking.  Mother not mom-Father not dad.

I would say that an N mother is the definition of 'hitting bottom". For me,  I have hit it------so I am going up ..        Ami
