“Don’t make me make you cry,” is NOT a way to parent a kid. Neither is sitting on your fat ass while your kid runs around the entire office into areas he really shouldn’t be. But you’re too busy on your phone to parent him so you rely on others waiting for their appointments to parent him for you. Until someone says no to him, because he doesn’t know any manners. Then you’re right up in someone’s face yelling at them for what? I don’t know. Your kid demanded someone give him something and she just wanted a “please and thank you” the way any normal person would. Clearly you have a lot more problems than just your kid. Learn to control him, and not with violence like I know you do. —Feels sorry for little kids with young parents

Who takes their kid to the office? Maybe Survivor, with all those jobs and not a drop to drink.

It sounds like it’s probably a doctor’s office Koda. There is an abundance of horrible mother bitches lately. Imagine if they had just got an abortion.
Ooooh no I d-int
“Some children’s parents!!!!”
“”Don’t make me make you cry,” ” WORKED FOR ME. When dad went silent … run.
I agree with this post up until the very last line. I consider myself a young mother; had 2 children by the time I hit 24. Although I am young, I was raised by a woman who took no shit off of anyone and expected everyone around her to have manners and treat people with respect. This is how I raise my children today. They will not leave the bus, the grocery store or any office without saying, “thank you” and “have a nice day”. My eldest just turned 5. There are a shitload of horrible mothers and fathers, young and old…I am tired of people assuming I am a shit mother because I am young. It’s also worse for me because although I will turn 30 this summer, I look 22. The looks I get while out with my children is ridiculous. Mind you, those looks change when they see how well behaved my children are. Not all young parents are shit and not all older parents are doing a good job.
the one i really liked was about 20 years ago, some mom?, took her kid to the bank of n.s., at the rotary, the kid was all over the place, and fucking fast, and hard to catch hold of. well shit, next thing you know, here he is, standing next to her, stuffing fucking loads of money in his pockets.
no one had seen him sneak in the vault and grab a big handfull of cash. i saw this, and stepped out of line, told another teller there what was going on, she went and locked the door at once, and confronted the mom?, who was flabberghasted, that her kid would do that. i just bet she was? maybe a little training beforehand?????
Point taken, momo – the MO of people here is often to make broad generalizations. Sometimes they can be accurate, but not everyone fits into those categories.
My best friend has two wonderful little boys, 6 and 4 and she’s 28 like me. Then you look at her crazy neighbours with 2 wild little girls, they’re in their 40s and they need a “nanny” because it’s just too complicated to be a real parent! Crazy.
It’s hard when you see neglectful parents. But I try very hard not to comment on people’s parenting because what you see isn’t normally the full story of what’s going on.
How my parents (God be with them) managed seven children. I guess those were the good ole days when you could slap them for getting out of line. These were the days when you feared your parents.
I miss them, though it was for our own good.
Thank You Mom and Dad.
Glad you’re not around to see the shit that’s going on these days.
I actually saw a dude who was drippin wannabee gangsta point his hand like a gun at his kid and holler “don’t make me put a cap in yo aaaass!”. The poor kid was about 6. I honestly thought he pissed himself.
Was this that fat chick with the 5 kids from the other bitch? Sterilize her.
Should have done the same with your mother.
I agree with momo. It IS a pain in the ass to see mothers’ laziness affect their child’s upbringing, However, as a 25 year old mother with a 3 year old, I find myself being judged as a young mother. In the extremely RARE occasion that my child acts out in public (far less often than children of older parents) I still feel like I’m being judged, for people think its because I’m a young mom.
selective sterilization at birth is always a good way to avert scenarios where you wonder just why people don’t have to apply, be tested and pass to even be considered suitable as a parent. There is no screening process.. thus the emotionally fucked kids continue to be reproduced.
I saw a father scream at his kid the other day for falling down on the sidewalk. She was a bit chunky and obviously from the gear he was toting, coming back from her hockey practice. He yells, you are six years old, stop your whining, you should be walking everywhere!! Wow.. I love you too Daddy, obviously hung over and dragging on a smoke.
