For someone who is not a mother to be called one so lightly is more than insulting to those of us who are actually mothers. I especially take more offense to it because I lost Christina. Yes I have Emily now and I consider her my daughter, but there is a difference between being called mother because you have raised a child for the whole of their life and being called mother because you looked after a child for a short period of time when the Seal was having its fun. Even if the name is meant in a playful manner, it is still greatly insulting.

Perhaps I am letting this bother me too much, but anything regarding mothers or children will always strike a nerve with me. No matter how long I will have Emily, that does not change the fact I lost Christina, and it takes far more than a two week babysitting job to be considered a mother.

I do apologize for this, but it irritates me. And I figured expressing such things was better than simply keeping them to myself and letting them fester inside me.

	Uhmmm, what did I miss? My mama-type is upset, so clearly, I need to yell sarcastic Claudiaisms at someone... Also? Kudos and props for talking to us about it, H.G.! Progress of the progressive variety is good! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	There is no need for such action. I do not wish to make a large scene out of this, I merely wished to express my feelings on the matter I observed. It most certainly is. It seems that I am capable of learning and changing, even at my age. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll be your own personal cheerleader... except without the skimpy outfit and the pompoms...not really my thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not exactly sure what the outfit has to do with anything, but if you wore anything drastically different from what you normally wear, I would think you were either possessed, ill or being affected by an artifact. (Reply to this) (Parent)
