  why would anyone want ot have a website about their baby, and title it My illigitimate child? how do you think your baby would feel?

  Have you heard “you reap what you sow”? I’m not talking about the fact she is illegitimate, I’m talking about the fact that you have labeled her as such. Would you like to grow up being called “illigetimate,” even if it were true? If it IS true, did you like it? And “old man hair”? What in the world is that? It’s cold. As a nurturing, caring mother, you should be grateful for the beautiful, lovely locks she has, as well as the beaming blue eyes.

  Quite frankly, you have a lot of growing to do to become a mother, and hopefully some of what I have said will soak in enough to help you before Elzie realizes she isn’t being raised by a woman, but a child.

  Grow up and if you’re going to spend time dedicating a site to your baby, dedicate it to the baby–NOT poor you who was left alone to deal on her own.

  Hello Erika and Michelle,

  Let’s set some things straight here. We did not label our child “illegitimate”; society has done that for us. The notion that a child born outside of the religious institution of marriage is “illegitimate” is downright ridiculous. The naming of this website is our humorous stand against this silly societal norm, and serves to rebuke the idea that having a ring on your finger at the time of inception guarantees better child-raising.

  Now, your idea of love and tenderness may differ from ours and that’s ok; what’s not ok is the judging going on here, especially as the result of reading a single post on a blog on the Internet. Calling my (now) wife a bad mother and saying she is not a woman because of a humorous quip about the state of our daughter’s hair growth? Really? How do you think that makes us feel? What does that say about you? Perhaps if you would have spent 10 more seconds on the site instead of so eagerly jumping to conclusions, you would have seen me, the dedicated father who has never once left Liz “alone to deal on her own”.

  As far as how our daughter will feel… we are raising her to be a caring, tolerant, non-judging individual, who is comfortable enough with who she is that she can sometimes laugh at herself. We want her to understand what “illegitimate” actually means, how it in no way defines or limits our love for her, and how she should learn to question society’s projections and comments like the ones you have posted.

  Awww, what a cuite pie! Love your site, hilarious! Wish you had more updates. I’ve had a few “illegitimate” children myself. Unbelievable about those angry comments from Erika and Michelle. Those are the people you DO NOT want to sit with at a company party. No fun at all! Hope you and your daugther are going well!

  Thanks, Nikki! (your name with an exclamation point at the end looks crazier than I expected, ha). I too wish we had more updates; turns out that kids slightly alter the amount of free time you have
