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.

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

That too. Whoever wrote this quiz should be fired.

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

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

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

Why?

Because ready or not, it's still coming.

You're planning to have a baby?

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

You're pregnant then.

That I am.

I see.

Isn't life a hoot?

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.

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

You aren't married, are you?

Myself? No. But the father is.

...

Well, that's lovely.

I'd call it insignificant.

Bet you his wife wouldn't.

That's not really my problem.

I have a feeling it's about to be.

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

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

Actually, it makes her very smart.

And wily? I'm flattered.

We'll just have to agree to disagree there.

It was neither a compliment nor an insult.

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

I'll also take it as a compliment regardless.

I suspect you often do.

Suit yourself.

That's because I usually am.

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

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

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

As they say, it takes one to know one.

Yes. Yes, it does.

Interesting quiz to be taking.

And unfortunately appropriate.

You're pregnant.

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

~~Who's the f-~~

Not necessarily an unpleasant surprise, one would hope.

It wasn't exactly the best day ever.

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

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

But well worth the nightmare.

If it preserves my sanity? Yes.

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

I merely found it amusing.
