Don't these people read the papers - someone can grab your child and be gone within seconds!<br /><br />It's just as well I didn't have kids. I would have been the worst kind of helicopter mother!Hanliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16476650601531649816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-60269209685579772802011-05-02T00:00:17.399-06:002011-05-02T00:00:17.399-06:00Absolutely concur: Irresponsible people shouldn...Absolutely concur: Irresponsible people shouldn't have children.

We have developed a whole new category of child neglect. The parent is physically prersent and totally absent for all other intents and purpposes. I see it in restaurants, malls, parks...everywhere.<br /><br />A little child sitting, staring at tthe mom as she gabs on the cell phone. The child is completely alone and neglected just 3 feet away from the paretn.<br /><br />I'm considering have Congress add a rider to the law that forbids using cell phones while driving that says you cannot use a cell phone when alone with your child. aaarrrgh.<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-69674506806575150502011-05-01T17:34:28.108-06:002011-05-01T17:34:28.108-06:00That drives me nuts.

I had a lady in the restroom while at the movies (RIO) with her kid (or grandkid) yelling at her for something and I was standing there awkwardly waiting for my kids to finish washing their hands. The woman said to the kid "See, that lady is looking at you because you are such a brat". I wanted to say, actually no, I was looking at you because you are being such a b&tch" But I didn't.Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630336513125354615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-84577346903599308332011-05-01T16:23:50.827-06:002011-05-01T16:23:50.827-06:00the assumption is that all those people out there ...the assumption is that all those people out there in traffic in their cars are going to be watching very carefully to see those two are not NOT injured in anyway and the mother can be relaxed and senrine like in a deep verdant green comfortable valleyPutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480109111920196513noreply@blogger.com
