I think this is awful of her. How could a person do this? Now she's closer to them than ever? Bull****! I could never turn my back on my kids. What do you guys think? Moderators, if this looks like it's going to turn into a big fight, please delete it.
If someone could do that, clearly they dont deserve to be a mom. just another indicator of our ME oriented culture.
Yet another parent who should be smacked upside the head and who should never have had kids in the first place.
Maybe it was for the best............selfish, self-centered, pseudo-intellectual narcissists should be sequestered from developing human beings as much as possible. I'd have her tubes tied in a Gordian knot.
I also read that! I will never understand why she waited till she had a couple of kids before she became "worried" about disappearing or fading away into her "motherhood"! Didn't she know after the first kid that she wasn't cut out to be a mother? Anyhoo, Scatter is right, hopefully these precious children will be able to cope with her "confession" that she broadcasted all over the press/internet! You know, most of us have sacrificed things for our children or pets and we become better people in the long run. I guess she is superior to us regular folk.
I'd state how I feel about it, but he mods don't like politics and I respect them.
I've rewritten this reply 3 times now because i keep writing such ugly things... i only pray that at some point in her life SHE is in need of the love and affection of her family and is abandoned in the same manner... Karma is a bitch and i hope she finds out first hand.
All I can say is.. WWVD...What would Vlad do?
She's self delusional ... Zombie Censored

This woman only thought about herself. These kids would be better off without her at all!

The world would be better off without her at all.
Yep. She even seems proud of it. I'd be ashamed.
I was ready to forget about that "lady", and the stinkin' story is still showing up on Yahoo, as of yesterday! Hopefully, since this story is out there, her kids will get extra support from family members and the community and will live happy childhoods. I know that if they were in my neighborhood or family, I would give them extra attention and hugs.
You'd hope people would read about this and boycott her stupid book....
It's an amazingly selfish thing to do... but she may have done them all a favor by removing herself from their lives. Obviously she lacks the maternal instincts most have. If I were her husband though, I'd be thankful she pulled out, rather than to make myself and our children miserable.
She's quite the ethical contortionist all right. I guess when you're the centre of the universe, all justifications make sense. Not a path I can understand or endorse. :(
She should be Keel-hauled.. Tied to an anchor chain, get out to sea and chuck her overboard, making sure she skids over the barnacles.
Let me have those kids. I'd love them dearly.
Me, Mine, MY Career, MY LIFE, MY HAPPINESS...I think thats whats wrong with the world today, SELFISHNESS. There's not too many people out there who gives of themselve's, they just Take and Take. I've always wondered what keeps the human race going, even an animal love's it's own. The World Depresse's me, I guess that's why I find peace in my hobbies. :'(
She felt like having kids and then she felt like not having them. How immature and selfish. My kids can drive me nuts... and the rest of the time they just drive me, period. I cannot imagine losing time with my girls for anything else. I have passed on career opportunities because the position I have RIGHT NOW enables me max time being there for my kids--------and not just 'events' to go to, you stupid, insignificant woman.... but REAL life.
I have no regrets about my life. I just know that NOW, my life is all about delivering them as close to their dreams as I can. I have no greater purpose in this life. I am so lucky.
