Bad parents, the next chapter
Welcome to bad parents, yet another chapter in the annals of parenthood. LMK if any of YOU are guilty of it(I doubt it, generally my readers tend to, you know, actually parent their kids).
So we're going to pick up mommy from work. And like all good little boys and girls, you probably have taught YOUR kids to, you know, not run out in the street, look both ways, and other assorted items. I know we did, 'cause our road, while not busy, is used as a cut through road.
But apparently, this mother didn't. Two boys, couldn't be more than 3-5, with stuff in their hands, no shoes, RUNNING down the middle of the road, while mommy is standing around, and of course, predictably, in order to get them to stop, stands there and yells at them to get out of the road. Doesn't get them, just yells. The kids were 5-6 houses down the road. Finally she yelled at them to come back, which they did, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.
Lady, get off your ass and go GET your children. Its not that hard......

Yeesh! Scary.
Why can I get onto your blog and not my own?
Anyway, I almost called the cops on a lady in the drive-thru the other day. Her very little boy was standing up in the back seat and looking at me in the car behind them. I smiled and waved.
Then I kept motioning for him to sit down. I also kept pulling my seatbelt out and mouthing to him to sit down and put on his seat belt. He should have been in a carseat probably, but I was hoping for anything to get him to a safer spot before she pulled away.
He jumped into the front seat and then back into the back seat. I kept thinking that surely she'd tell him to buckle up before they pulled away. When she was driving off, he was laying in the back window behind the seat.
I was livid. I don't know the rule on other states, but Texas has strict laws about seatbelts and child safety seats. I should have called the cops and given them her plate number!
Okay, gonna attempt to respond to the comments in my own blog now.
You must have been in my neighborhood. My neighbor does this every day. Every day I drive 2 miles per hour when I turn onto our street because I'm afraid of killing their 3 year old son who thinks it's hilarious to run down the middle of the street.
His parents never leave the front porch. And THAT's if they are even outside.
Why Blessed? Uhm, I just came form teh god convention, and we thought it would be funny to allow you anywhere with ease but your own blog, which will take up all your free time to make one click.
And boy were we right, its funny.
*grin*
As for that lady, yes you should have, but dont beat yourself up too much on it. If you have free time, scroll through the past two months or so and see parents not parenting threads. Its a recurring theme. For the record, McDonald's seems to have the highest rate of idiotic parents.....Dont know why they congregate there, but they do.
Melissa:
Yikes! Have you tried calling the cops? I dont advise CPS, thats a nightmare, and probably not good for the kid.....
Oh yeah, I saw that last night while cruising through your blog. It's sad that it's so common that you've written about it more than once. It shouldn't be ever. Then again, I did let my child cut himself open last night.
CPS is a nightmare. I had to contact them for a student of mine. It seemed like nothing but a worthless experience to me. They never helped her. She was 12 at the time and being physically abused by her older brother who was also torturing small animals like any good future serial killer does.
She's in college now and still writes me. Her mom had died when she was about 10 or 11, and her dad was really old. He died on 9/11 in an unrelated issue. Now all she has is her crazy brother.
Aren't I refreshing? Put a spring in your step and twinkle in your eye!
By the way, I LOVE that all of you gods are so amused by my predicaments. Please allow me to continue being the center of your entertainment.
I spent about 6 months writing about how I was convinced a man was secretly video taping my life and showing it in a Boston bar for others amusement. Weird people were always being thrown into my life that couldn't possibly be for real. Now I know that it was always you and the god convention.
At least I have some answers now. I hope you've enjoyed everything you've seen. :)
Blessed:
There's a WORLD of difference between you, accidentally forgeting to take razors out of the bath only once, and say the idiot at McD's sitting there reading a paper, and talking on his cell phone and ignoring his child playing BEHIND the screened off equiptment. Trust me, dont beat yourself up over it.
I'm sure not ALL CSP is worthless, but good chances they are. WAY too many horror stories that slip through the cracks.
Yes, we're taping you. Come on, with all the strange and ironic things happening, you really didnt think it was a coincidence, did you?
Hey, remember the conversation about breast feeding nazis? Guess who is one? That crazy church lady!
Hey, remember the conversation about breast feeding nazis? Guess who is one? That crazy church lady!
AMEN!
Hey! Incase you didn't get it the first two times, it was THE CRAZY CHURCH LADY.
Just kidding. I don't know why my computer hates me.
Blessedmomx3:
Of course its the church lady, are your really suprised? There's always one in every crowd. In the blog sphere, we were bound to find one sooner or later....
Nikki:
Amen to what? Parent your kids? Blessed life is amusing on camera? Down with breast feeding nazis?
Let's see if posting works now....thanks for the really hard laugh earlier. For some reason it struck me as really funny that Nikki could be saying Amen to how funny I appear on camera.
Didn't help to see that ass so close to my head with the word AMEN! next to it. I think I'm simpled out from poor sleep quality and the fact that it freaked me out so much that you actually read and responded to my blog on Bible ponderings. I don't know why it took me off guard. I've been REVEALED!
I shouldn't write my secret thoughts out on a blog if I'm gonna freak out when people read them, huh?!
:going off on a side tangent:
Of course you're being video taped! All good looking women should be!~!
:/side tangent over:
^_^
Anywho, the parents like that get on my nerves. What irks me even more, is when good parents get some dayumed child services called on them because someone doesnt like them, yet the parents who deserve it, rarely get the same problem(s).
-_-
IMFU:
shush you. The "bets of blogging girls gone wild, shower scenes" will NOT get done if you tell them we're taping them.
What I have to teach you everything?
Why do good parents get called on, and bad parents dont? Thats easy: nasty people use CPS as a weapon to torment folks with, while good ones hem and haw about calling, because they dont want to screw up.
Blessedmomx3:
There's an old saying I use: if you dont want it commented on, dont put it out there(or hide it real well).....Its easy to find if you just, I dont know, look at your profile....(you can of course, hide it from there if you dont want people looking and commenting). I know one gal who does just that. You cant get to her one blog through any of her others via profile.....
Ifmu--why thank you! If I don't think about the women being video taped part of that, I feel really complimented and not creeped out at all. Just kidding. No I'm not. :)
Carm--I'm at a loss for words for the shower scene comment. You're supposed to get permission for those kinds of things otherwise it's illegal. You need to know that if you're wanting to make money off the tape.
AND I have four blogs! Woo! So I do have some secrets. I just thought that only my girlfriends read that particular blog, and they're used to me by now.
Well normally when I make that comment on the DVD, most folks give me anotehr sort of comments, rather than just asking for permission.....besides, thats only for selling them to amke money. Us gods need entertainment value(ok I'll stop now before I go a wee bit too far).....
Anyway, 4 blogs? whats the 4th one?
Bah, they'll still shower, trust me. ^_^
Boyz! Should I leave so you can have your guy talk?
That 3rd blog on my site is NOT mine. Long story.
My 3rd and 4th blogs are nothing interesting. I don't even want to read them to check for spelling errors.
Tooo late to follow all the comments..
anyway...
It was a scary blog...Even though well written...
And to your neighbours...get off your butt and parent and glad I could write that from soooo far away....
You say that now blessed, that its nothing of interest, but you never know what we're interested in...
Well, let me think about it...I don't think either of them talks about shower scenes. Nor do some of us have the confidence to post pictures of ourselves at the pool side. :)
What else interesting could there be for a god's convention? Tap dancing on ice? Can't do that either. Sorry Charlie.
How about you remove my last comment? The longer it dangles there, the worse it looks. It was funny on a whim--and a good attempt at keeping up with the boys. I keep hoping somebody will post and sandwich it in with other posts to make it less noticeable. But nobody will, so I WILL! :)
Crimeny! Who has time to read all this popularity!!??
:)
amen to your post telling folks to come get their kids.
