Of course, there are some people that I wish wouldn't add to the gene pool <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> That sucks about the problems you had with the hospital/insurance/childrens services. It is sad that the services that we do have set up to try and help kids, go after the wrong people a lot of the time. It's good that your son is fine now. They have optional (birth) classes that a person can attend, but honestly I don't think they do jack sh*t for teaching someone what being a parent is going to be like or what you should and shouldn't do care wise for a baby/child. I wonder what the answer is to getting new parents to understand things like "Dont''t shake your effing baby!" If people were actually forced to learn this sh*t, maybe so many kids wouldn't get hurt like my nephew who ended up in the hospital at 6 weeks old with a boken leg, 2 broken ribs and shaken baby syndrome. Let me tell you about a child services nightmare for my poor sister-in-law. If her boyfriend wasn't thrown in jail before my husband got a chance to get to him, I don't think he would be alive. But then again, maybe education wouldn't have prevented it. I wish I knew the answer.</blockquote>
