You, the female who was responsible for the two young boys wearing matching blue track suits at the west end playground on Saturday afternoon/evening...the first thing those obnoxious boys did when they got there was start running at the slide from a distance and climbing up while also jumping from one slide to another. Meanwhile there was a handful of kids waiting at the top of the slide wondering what zoo these animals escaped from and if they should run in the opposite direction or not. Not only that, these two boys proceeded to tell the children at the top of the slide not to go down the slide because they wanted to run up it!? This was when we, the other parents in attendance, realized the level of ignorance these kids had graduated to, and began to pity them. We, the other parents, were just counting the seconds 'til those two injured themselves or another child. I was about to climb the slide myself and go down it in repeated rapid fashion 'til they moved on to a more age appropriate activity like a sport or something, when one of them fell off and apparently broke his arm.
None of the other parents really reacted quickly because we all saw it coming and were waiting to see how long it would take you to notice. Of course you and your lady friend were clueless as to how it happened because you weren't watching over them as you should have been. I hope the kid is OK, but sadly I know that his injury is probably the best thing that could have happened to him, you and the rest of us as well. Perhaps now you can both begin your re-programming.
We all liked to challenge ourselves when we were younger with a slide climb, but we knew to do it only when we were the only ones there. If your child can't seem to differentiate between the two then teach them not to climb the slide....ever. It's a simple enough concept, even for the most inept of parents. And if you can't teach them, or can't control them then don't take them to public playgrounds. On a side note, I am not looking for any advice, or comments on what I should have or could have done. But if you would like to share how you do or would handle it, go right ahead. People bitch to bitch or make a point or wake someone up...not to get advice from the peanut gallery. Thanks. —Just Go Down, He'll Move or Learn a Lesson
