Is it really all that uncommon?

[KathyA]

Last week I had to go to the city hall annex and pick up copies of my kids birth certificates. I get there, get in line.. There are 2 people in front of me. Not a problem. Ten minutes later, I am at the front of the line. I tell the clerk what I am there for..She hands me 4 sheets of paper, that need to be filled out on both sides.. One for each child.. Ahhh, well not so bad, I guess..I step to the side and start filling them out.. When I finished, a new clerk had now taken over for the old one who apparently left for lunch.. I hand this lady the paper work.. She takes it to her desk and begins to go over everything I have written.. On each of the 4 pages.. 30 minutes later I am still standing in this place, getting more and more pissed by the second.. There are at least 8 people in this tiny 10x10 room all waiting for their turn.. When out of no where, 10 or so feet away, she pulls her glasses to the tip of her nose, looks up at me and says, " All these children have the same father?" Ohh you fucking bitch, that did not come out of your mouth did it? I just looked at her and said, "excuse me." You heard me she says.. At this point, If she wasn't as old as Christ, I think I just may have leaped over that counter and slapped those glasses right off her face.. Instead I took a more subtle approach.. Can you read? That is what I wrote on those fucking papers is it not? She then has the audacity to tell me that I am ignorant...yada yada yada.. Nearly 1 hour later, I finally leave with all the documentation that I needed, and a fucking headache that would kill a horse..

 

Is it all that uncommon, to actually have children, who are fathered by the same man? People get married and divorced all the time.. Only to remarry and have a child with someone else.. Its no big deal.. But apparently, it is a big deal to only have one man father all of my offspring.

Presumably you are asked to fill in forms rather than questioned aloud to ensure your privacy. Report the old bitch, she's got no right to share your business with others whether or not she is questioning what you filled in.

[KathyA]

I wanted to report her right then and there.. And I should have. But I was already running late by this point. But, I do have to go back sometime this week. I now need a copy of my marriage certificate. My husband just received new health insurance through his union..And they want all sorts of documentation from us.. Next they'll want a semen sample..lol

[Feckless Wench]

I doubt the bastids will stop at a semen sample....they'll probably want video evidence of the damn conception!

[phreakwars]

Reminds me of the old Mad magazine, snappy answers to stupid questions... A few things you could have said..

 

• 
  [ ]No, I'm a crack whore and have fucked many men... OR
  [ ]I'm not sure, each one was concieved in a gang bang

.

[KathyA]

Feck, that might actually be possible.. lol

Dick in hole. Nothing less.

[KathyA]

I think she would have fell right off her chair had I said that to her Phreak.. But I will be taking those suggestions of yours with me next time I go..

[Jhony5]

Two words.

 

 

Immaculate conception.

 

 

Might get on the evening news thata way.

[Lethalfind]

She was a bitch...

I have never gone into request birth certificates, I have always had to request copies of mine and my daughters through the mail.

I agree, one would assume you filled out the paperwork in order to perserve your privacy...She has apparently worked there TOO long.

[KathyA]

She really was a bitch. I wish we had that option of doing it all by mail..

 

But in the end.. its my fault for not putting shit away.. Well, I do put it away, I can just never remember where I put it.

 

Although, I don't ever remember getting the baby's birth certificate.. he is still little.. And I wouldn't have needed it for anything, up until this point.. Mostly all they ever want is SS#.. Not often do you find someone who actually wants their birth certificates..

 

Oh yeah, and the kicker to all this.. It cost me $80.00 for this. $20.00 each.

[Ahhlee]

The old hag had to sit there for 1/2 an hour reading the papers? And then she has the audacity to ask you that in front of other people...Damn!

 

I would report her ancient ass to her superiors.

Are you kidding me?!

What the hell town do you live in?

I had to order mine from San Antonio TX and had a rush put on it and paid about $15. What a ripoff!

[eddo]

Each of my 4 fathers agree with this woman that you are ignorant whore, Kathy. Sorry.

[Lethalfind]

I had someone make a similar assumption about me, I'm not working and going to school. This person made the assumption that I had a house full of kids. I told her "no, I managed to keep it down to only one since I realized I would be raising her alone, I didn't want to complicate things by having a house full." She was a little surprised at my response SINCE it seems so many don't seem to know how to NOT have kids you can't support.

I went down to get my sons a few months back and all I had to do was show ID sign a form and pay five dollars. sounds like you got the run around.

[KathyA]

Angie, I live in RI.. I had the option of getting the full form which was $17.00.. But I opted for the licensed size laminated copies for $20..

[angie]

Oh, okay.

I don't know how much it costs here, but probably a few dollars more, since CT is the most expensive fucking state. Or damn close.

Okay, I lied. The fee here is only $5. Hmm....

[KathyA]

That is why one should not assume anything Lethal.. They have no idea what is going on behind your closed door..

 

 

I don't work, haven't since I had the baby.. And he is 2 now. But up until I had him, I had worked. Try finding an affordable day care for 4 children. not an easy task.. It just wasn't worth it for me to go back. Plus I had already missed so much with my older kids, that I decided this was the best move for me and them.. My husband is a JL (journeyman lineman) so he is never around, we couldn't depend on him to be there..

 

I must say, I do enjoy being home with them.. The worse part was having to send them off to the babysitter when I had to go to work.. I can still see their pitiful little faces in the window as I left them..

[KathyA]

I called today to find out how much the marriage license is... I still need to get that..and its $16.00..

 

It's only a $5 fee in CT? That is crazy.. Why so much here then?

 

We have to add my step son to our insurance.. He was born in Ma. They call it a birth abstract and it cost $15..

 

Maybe its time for me to move.. lol

[angie]

Wow. Maybe those high taxes we have aren't totally useless (though I doubt RI is much better)

Ang, you had to order yours from Texas? Don't you live in Connecticut or Rhode Island?

 

How odd.

I assumed that I had to order Diane's from San Antonio because we lived in Texas at the time she was born.

 

I know that years back I had to order mine from Sacremento, the capitol of California which is where I was born. I just assumed thats how it was in every state, you order yours from that states capitol.

I was born on Lackland AFB. Moved to CT when I was 2 or 3.

You want to know what RO does in situations when he is forced to wait and wait and wait?

 

I rip a fart.

 

People tend to forego the petty bullshit and get down to business.
