You Are 28% Ready to Be a Parent

Even though you might feel ready, you're really not ready to be a parent. Having a kid will drain your resources. And you simply don't have enough to give right now. You would make a great parent one day, but you need to improve your life first. You want to make sure your relationships are as stable as possible. If you're already a parent, times are probably a bit tough for you. Just keep doing the best you can!

Are You Ready to Be a Parent? (http://blogthings.com/areyoureadytobeaparentquiz/)

Blogthings: We Have a Quiz for Almost Everything (http://www.blogthings.com)

Not that I'm ready to have another a baby, but this test is unfairly biased against single parent families.

[have_no_mercy]

It really is. It also unfairly assumes the test-taker is all gung ho about parenthood.

[cordy-chase1.livejournal.com]

That too. Whoever wrote this quiz should be fired.

[have_no_mercy]

It makes one thankful they're not actually being paid for this kind of thing.

[mom-of-steel.livejournal.com]

Usually I don't believe these quizzes are all that accurate. But as long as you're pleased with the results.

[have_no_mercy]

I wouldn't say pleased so much as morbidly amused.

[mom-of-steel.livejournal.com]

Why?

[have_no_mercy]

Because ready or not, it's still coming.

[mom-of-steel.livejournal.com]

You're planning to have a baby?

[have_no_mercy]

Oh, it was no plan of mine, believe you me.

[mom-of-steel.livejournal.com]

You're pregnant then.

[have_no_mercy]

That I am.

[mom-of-steel.livejournal.com]

I see.

[have_no_mercy]

Isn't life a hoot?

[mom-of-steel.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I'm not...uh, I'm not very good at mustering up enthusiasm for other peoples' pregnancies, but I suppose congratulations are in order. Congratulations.

[have_no_mercy]

Don't worry about it. I haven't been able to muster up much enthusiasm myself.

[mom-of-steel.livejournal.com]

You aren't married, are you?

[have_no_mercy]

Myself? No. But the father is.

[mom-of-steel.livejournal.com]

...

Well, that's lovely.

[have_no_mercy]

I'd call it insignificant.

[mom-of-steel.livejournal.com]

Bet you his wife wouldn't.

[have_no_mercy]

That's not really my problem.

[mom-of-steel.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling it's about to be.

[have_no_mercy]

She's a smart woman; she knows what's worth her worrying about and I'm not on that list.

[mom-of-steel.livejournal.com]

If she's not worried about a wily young lady carrying her husband's baby, she is not a smart woman, Ms. Mercer.

[have_no_mercy]

Actually, it makes her very smart.

And wily? I'm flattered.

[mom-of-steel.livejournal.com]

We'll just have to agree to disagree there.

It was neither a compliment nor an insult.

[have_no_mercy]

Knowing the circumstances as I do, I'll take knowing I'm right.

I'll also take it as a compliment regardless.

[mom-of-steel.livejournal.com]

I suspect you often do.

Suit yourself.

[have_no_mercy]

That's because I usually am.

[mom-of-steel.livejournal.com]

You didn't have a happy childhood, did you, Ms. Mercer?

[have_no_mercy]

Are you researching the correlation between geniuses and their childhoods, Mrs. Kent?

[mom-of-steel.livejournal.com]

I'm just asking a question. Anyway, I suppose I didn't have to ask. I can always tell.

[have_no_mercy]

As they say, it takes one to know one.

[mom-of-steel.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes, it does.

[notyouranswer.livejournal.com]

Interesting quiz to be taking.

[have_no_mercy]

And unfortunately appropriate.

[notyouranswer.livejournal.com]

You're pregnant.

[have_no_mercy]

It was a hell of a surprise to me, too.

[notyouranswer.livejournal.com]

Who's the f-

Not necessarily an unpleasant surprise, one would hope.

[have_no_mercy]

It wasn't exactly the best day ever.

[notyouranswer.livejournal.com]

I've no doubt you'll do what you believe is necessary.

[have_no_mercy]

I expect nanny interviews will be a long and torturous experience.

[notyouranswer.livejournal.com]

But well worth the nightmare.

[have_no_mercy]

If it preserves my sanity? Yes.

[notyouranswer.livejournal.com]

And meme results are worth very little at the end of the day.

[have_no_mercy]

I merely found it amusing.
