I need to vent and I think this is the thread to do it.
I'm sorry but us parents suck. I look at this people and I'm self-conscious of everything I do with my children. Parents have no respect for their own children, but boy do they expect to get respect all the time. Where do this people come off?
I was in a location where there is water and more than once today, I had to go to parents and ask them to put clothes on their children. The kids were running around the area butt-naked!!!
Seriously?! In what world is this ok?! When did Disney became a nudist colony for children. What the hell is wrong with this people?!?!?! :bbbat: :bbbat:
What I love is the reaction of the parents when you tell them their kids need clothes. One mom got into an argument with a fellow CM, over this. Why in the world do you need proof that the kids need clothing on the packs? It defies all logic! Does this woman would walk around the park naked? What possible excuse can she come up to justify this!
What really angers me is that this is not uncommon. Kids get wet and instead of people changing them in the bathroom, located at the corner, they just peel off the kid clothes and changed them right there. Same with diapers, all the time people just go and change the diaper where everyone can see them.
For the love of all that is Holly have some respect for your child and give him/her the same privacy
you would like to have. If you wouldn't strip and change in the middle of a park, then don't do it to your kids. They might be your kids and you own them, but they should be treated with the same respect you'll like to be treated. They are people too and they do have feelings.
Then I had parents who were flat out refusing to discipline their kids. Someone mention the idea of believing the kids to be kids. I believe that too, but the difference is that people need to watch out and step up when things get out of control. About 80% of the time the parents know that the kids are doing something wrong, they just don't want to deal with it. Oh my God, if you don't want to deal with kids then the solution is easy DON'T HAVE ANY. But if you have children then step up to the plate and be a parent. Kids have plenty of buddies they need a parent.
Sometimes I think we should get the kids, give a beeper to the parents, and send them away. I have
far an easier time dealing with the kids than with the parents.
Ok, I feel better.
aside from upset. I sat on my glasses and I'm getting by with an old pair. Not fun!
