I never knew there was a term for the " Hippi New Age Douchbags" but I can totally relate to the 40 + crowd deciding to have kids after living the life of " me me me me me me me me ... first"
Kind of funny, we have some friends who hated kids. They thought my kids were a pain in "their " ass because we could not just drop everything and do or go anyplace "they" wanted. So later in life, they decide to have a kid.. funny thing is, my kids are gone for the most part and now " we" can do whatever we want. So now, they view "their " little angle as something that should be loved by all their friends, and accommodate them at all times. Screw em. They treated my kids like crap while they were growing up. In one case they think my 16 year old was put on this earth just to baby sit for them while they go out and live the life they are accustomed too.. Not gonna happen. They can deal with it. Imagine this.. they were every sort of pissed that I would not change my plans to come to little Angles second birthday party.. like I really care about that.
In my experience ( insert part where this does not apply to every single one) those parents are so used to getting everything the way they want it , when they want it are crappy parents. And the thing is, regardless of how this sounds when their kid is old enough to talk and be around me I'll be really nice to him or her. Unlike their spoiled assed parents were to mine.
That might be off topic.
