What is it with some parents thses days?

Question

I swear in one day, I just want to beat the c**p outta parents. Earlier today, the neighbors kids are playing outside by the alley by themselves! Our neighbor 2 doors down drinks everyday and night and likes to mess with people.I told them about it and they STILL let there children play out in the alley which is surrounded by woods! I'm sorry im not trying to be a ***** but if somethings happens to those boys there aint anything i can do, im not risking my unborn child because parents are to lazy to watch their kids. Then i saw a girl get off a bus with a baby that had to be three months or younger, and it was raining, had been raining all day still raining now, the baby wasnt in a carseat and she had NOTHING covering the baby not a blanket, hat NOTHING. Then she is carring this baby like a sack of potatos, poor things head was bobbing around and everything, i could tell the baby wasnt old enough to hold its head up. Then she gose in her house for a second and comes back outside with still NOTHING covering the baby. I hate parents who act like this i just wanna beat the c**p out of them!

Answer 1

huh, you should see my neighborhood! Kids riding bikes in the street with no helmets or even shoes with no parents around! and i'm not talking about older kids, I'm talking about 3 and 4 year olds. I've seen a kid that was MAYBE 2, sitting at the playground (apartment complex) with a baby that was MAYBE 1, with no adults around. I've seen a kid who was maybe 5 or 6 years old, riding a skateboard with no helmet, and no parents at 11:30 at night. And these are just some of the things I've seen. I've seen girls who I know for a fact are 12 years old, drinking beer and smoking cigarettes by their front door (in my building) with guys who looked like they were in their 30's. One of the girls mothers was right inside the apartment.

Again these are just SOME of the things I've seen.

Answer 2

It is very sad. I work as an EA at an elementary school and honestly it breaks my heart on a daily basis. Half the kids are dirty, and not just a little. Or do not have a coat or gloves in single digit weather, I could go on and on. I just do what I can, I donate coats and gloves to the school. And try to be kind and encouraging to them. You know their home life has to be rough. I grew up poor but still had a coat, there is a difference between poor and neglect. And then I see them pick their kid up in a brand new car, it infuriates me. But there is nothing you can do except try to make the world a better place a little at a time. Maybe even buy an umbrella and give it to the lady, or a bunting for the baby. We can judge all we want, but we should try to help when children are involved.

Answer 3

Answer 4

some people just shouldnt have kids in my opinion unfortunalty they do and then they grow up to be like there parents sad. But there isnt much you can do I hate it too, I have a neighbor who has a little girl around 2 or so and just lets her out the door I cringe every time I see her that she will run out into the road and get hit but her mother is la di da she is fine, my little one is 4 1/2 and I never let her out in the front yard or back for that matter alone, there are to many nutts and any thing can happen my parents were over protective and I am also even more then I think they were with me, the world is crazy and its a parents job to protect there kids and I get crazy when I see bad parenting and feel so sorry for the kids I dont understand people some times that is why kids are so messed up now a days there parents dont care enough about where they are what they are doing etc.. it's sad I am with you all the way on how you feel about it

Answer 5

I agree. some people should not be breeding!!! No one to guide and help. Where are the grandmas? My mom taught me how to care for my babies and eventually I caught on myself.So many young girls getting knocked up! No maturity. That drunken slob would frustrate me to no end! Sad world we live in. Just try to do what's best for yourself. Once they notice you caring for them in any way, they'll do even less. They aren't your responsibility. I wish you the best though and take care.

Answer 6

I do agree that some people just shouldn't be bringing children into this world nowadays. It's so sad that the people that want to raise a child and would probably do it properly sometimes can't and get put on a 2 year waiting list to adopt a baby, when these people just get jiggy and have a baby they don't know how to care for.

The best anyone can do is to make sure they raise their children right to be responsible adults, so that one day they can be responsible parents.

Answer 7

Sadly, it seems to be happening more often than not. It's as if people are just having kids just to have them, know what I mean?  It's terrible and despicable, I know....but there's not much you can do about it! I feel the same way you do, believe me.

Answer 8

i understand how you feel and i feel sorry for those kids but the problem is - we can't do anything about it. it's their family, it's their life.

Answer 9

I don't understand how you'd be risking your unborn child because there are woods nearby?  You think someone could abduct them via the woods? And you'd be the only one to notice?  You could just call 911.

Just me, but live and let live.  Wait until your baby is born - you'll be too busy trying to do everything right that you won't notice for at least two years everything everyone else is doing.

Answer 10

Yes it is sad..but some parents just don't seem to care anymore.

Answer 11

I know the feeling. Yesterday my neighbors grandchild was outside by thier self and on top on a very tall ladder dancing around. Than another time the lil boy was running around our car with a stick wailing it around. You cant say anything to these people or they will call the cops on us for messing with thier grandchild or harrassing them, so we just call the cops themselves (worthless things they are in this small town) sometimes they will come out and do something about it.
