I wanted to wish you happy holidays in this period, which can be difficult for many. This time spent with family can also cause anecdotes that only people with a good sense of humor will laugh instead of cry.

I also invite you to tell me some fun facts, fun ... or even shocking and hurtful to you being around friends and family arrived.

Moreover, a journalist recently asked me if childfree loved Christmas. I replied without hesitation that my Christmas, I liked, but everyone had a little opinion on it. Coming from a small family, my wake have always been very quiet, no children running around, screaming, laughing or crying without drunk uncle, without bitter old aunt asked me why I chose an unhappy life without child. In short for me, Christmas is an evening spent with my mother and I love my spouse, to eat small bites, drink lots of bubbles and unwrap gifts. How can we not love it? For me, Christmas is the class is quiet and relaxing.

few years ago, I saw a Christmas cons by typical Quebecois in the family of my spouse, with a dozen people, turkey, a Christmas cake, children, grandparents ... short, the whole shebang. And I was frightened. Even as I had an attack of anxiety, because they have never experienced anything like this before.

So I understand why some childfree like me who have trouble comfortable with children and do not know what to do, may not love the big family party.

I also met other childfree that, even if they do not want children, love their family, children and other Tripente stiff ben (translation for my European readers: great fun).

short, the childfree are divided over Christmas. That is why I invite you to share with me your feelings about the holidays and especially amusing anecdotes (or not) that happened to you in this time of year.

With that, here Best wishes for 2011: that our society gaga for babies a bit disillusioned and understand a child, it can be cute, but it's not a god either, and that our decision not to have children is more understood and therefore we are considered less (e) s and criticized (e) s.

A couple creates a blog decide whether they keep their baby or not

Vanesse Catherine, who worked for a ticket few weeks ago, informed me recently of visiting an American blog called " Birth or Not: Help Us Decide, a Real Abortion Vote "on the blogosphere, where a couple expecting a child asking people to vote whether they should keep it or not. They waited until the deadline in order to have an abortion to give the vote and obey public opinion.

They were high-profile interview on CNN and they brought over a million votes.

I'm not sure what to think of the concept behind this blog. That is, democracy, but I always saw procreation as a choice person l.

I wonder really as to why these Americans have wanted to personalize the debate over abortion rights. They say on their blog:

"Voting year IS Such integral part of American identity. We vote is everything. (...) Why not be voting whether to continue or abort actual year pregnancy? Can Help Your vote has real couple to make a decision after this one. "

is fine in theory. In practice cons, I find it somewhat confining. I end the suspense ... the vote (what a surprise!) voted that they keep the baby ... and so they keep it. What a great reason to have a child!

I am here to say that I find there is excellent reason to have children ... and very shabby aussi.Comment explain to his child when he will ask his parents: "Did you want, you want?" "Well, actually, not really, if people had voted differently, you would have been aborted." Wow!

Moreover, I even wonder if there would be no hidden agenda. Since this blog has been highly publicized in the United States, rather puritanical country and right, I wonder if this blog has not always been pro-life disguised as opinion polls, but with a bias? Who is going to check their votes counted correctly?

I started to ask me when they released the results of the vote and began to denounce the "fraudulent votes" by saying that 99.2% of them were from people who were in favor of abortion. Vlan and in the teeth!

Good ... it looks like I get one of those followers of conspiracies, but n'empêque I can not help but think it may be that there is much more behind this than just a couple blog a bit dumb. ;

And you, what say you? Did you know this blog? And what do you think of the concept of asking people whether we should keep the baby or abort?

A German film about postpartum depression: The Stranger me.

I want to start this post by apologizing for my absence from the blogosphere in recent weeks. I have been busy meeting people very interesting for my documentary ... and blow my nose repeatedly. Inspired to write brief failed me ...

So I go back to writing to you about a German film Das Fremde in mir (The Stranger in Me ) valued at Cannes in 2008.

I've only seen clips, but I heard many positive reviews in the magazine issue Cinemas on TV5.

A young mother of 32 years feels disconnected from her newborn shortly after birth. Unaided around her, she saw what she thought was a dream as a nightmare sinks into depression and comes to hate this baby invading his space.

I do not know if any of you had the chance to see this movie. The premise seems interesting since this film is about a taboo (and I love it sheds light on the unspoken.) The Stranger in Me seems to talk about motherhood not always easy when having a child can be a nightmare.

Without revealing the end, I understood that everything ended still work out and things are placed. Still, I like to deal with motherhood like something was difficult at times and not what we malheureusemnet too often used to see: parents happy, well rested, living in a house tidy with their newborn calm and smiling, as if having a child that does almost nothing changed.

I love realism (although this is a fiction not a documentary) and it shows things as they really are. Having a child is not always pink! (That's why I admire those who choose to have me and I do not want.)

Here is the trailer German film subtitled in French.
