Go figure! My Dad was of the "starving kids in India" (always India, for some reason) type. When I was maybe six or so, I suggested we send it to them. I wasn't trying to be a smart ass, I was sincere. Got a good crack upside the skull anyway.

I get a lot of them but that one is funny. Do you get a lot of offers from "lonely or neglected wives who want to cheat"? I seem to be on their list, which annoys me because I'm a heterosexual woman, who was cheated on and it wasn't amusing. It's like salt in a wound. On the other hand, I have considered ordering one of those Russian brides they keep offering, just to help out with housework and stuff.<br />I saw that meme of the starving child and I almost shared it. But I'm glad I didn't, because like you, I hate that starving children are used to shame us for worrying about our own troubles. I am lucky that my mom was never one of those, "eat your food, there are starving children in Africa" moms. I never understood how my eating something I didn't like was supposed to help a starving kid in a famine ridden country. I knew that all the peas in the world wouldn't help them out if I ate them. If I could, I would package up my leftovers and send them, but I knew that wouldn't help either. Guilting me for not liking liver is not helping, it's slacktivism. Not to mention how it made me feel when I was gaining weight, and my father-in-law would try to force me to "clean my plate" every time we shared a meal. Then he'd tell me my ass was getting too big. I finally blew up at him in the middle of Village Inn, and told him that I didn't control the portion size, and I wasn't about to force-feed myself extra calories that would just make my ass bigger. After 15 years, he actually learned to shut up about it.<br />But on the other hand, I have to point out that I felt the same way when Ann Romney was complaining that she knew hardship and struggles. She was vilified because she had maids and nannies to help her, and never had to go without health care, etc. I defended her by saying that of course she had worries, she has MS, she's married to a douchebag, and she did have a lot of kids and all of the stress that comes with that. Who are we to say that she can't complain about things that bother her? The problem is perspective. She may have her own issues, but she will never understand what it's like to be a struggling American living at the poverty level, and she seemed unable to look outside of her own bubble and put herself in our place. <br />I think that is what I take away from those pictures of starving kids. I feel for them, and when I am able I try to help however I can. But I still have my own life to focus on and all of the stress that comes with it. <br />PirateHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605736515492873293noreply@blogger.com
