Parents, Please watch your young childen at softball games

[amjsnj]

Last night I attended my husbands first softball game of the season and i was reminded of why I hate going. I came to sit outside and enjoy myself, NOT WATCH SOMEONES CHILD. I came with Burger King and a little girl about 2-3 years old was up in my face asking for my food(i am not exagerating) with no parents around at all and tried to take my daughters food away from her along with the toy she received with her meal. I put the toy in my purse and within 5 minutes she was trying to go in my purse. Please parents, I don't want your kids up in my face or trying to go in my purse. This is rude. Please watch them. Especially when they are that young. And if that is not enough, when my husband was leaving a little girl came running from the steps of the bar and ran out in front of his truck and thank God he was not going fast so he was able to stop and no one was hurt. The parents are very lucky he was not one of the typical drunks leaving the Brass Rail otherwise that little girl would not be here today. But according to him the mother was apologetic to him and started yelling at this little girl. We can blam the little girl, but we can also blam the parents. WATCH YOUR CHILDREN, YOU HAD THEM IT IS YOUR JOB TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.

You can't blame a 2 or 3 year old kid. It's the parents' responsibility all the way.

You should have stood up and said, "Hello? Whose kid is this? Come and fetch your spawn" and embarrassed that mother like she deserves. And if they get pissed, oh well.

And in another ten or fifteen these years, when these same parents are sitting with these same children in juvenile court, they'll be saying "But, Judge, we did everything we could for them. We even took them to softball games when they were just toddlers."

I don't get it. Why have children if you aren't going to put anything into raising them?

Because people watch too much TV and don't realize all that's involved in raising kids properly while they're getting laid in the back of Bucky's pickup.

Shame these parents aren't as clever as the people in my bowling league. Everyone knows you bring your kids to the bowling alley and put them in the bathroom to play.

I've done that a few times. I've seen 2 year olds or younger walking out in the field during baseball practice. Hello Mc Fly, is anyone watching their fricken kid. And I wonder who would be the 1st to grip when the child gets whacked with a baseball?

I’ve always been a bit over zealous, as so I’m told, but my kid wouldn’t be wondering off, roaming around. Well, not until they are fricken 6 and 9 1/2, then I let them wonder off in the woods and get lost.

Don't feel bad about that Kizzy. Get this. Three of my sons friends, 2 aged 12 and 1 aged 13, are supposedly walking from one of their homes to the other on Mt Wolfe Road. Dad goes to pick up boys - no one around. He calls them on the cell that they carry when away from home. "Where are you?" "In the woods." "Well get back here its time to go." Waits 5 minutes. His phone rings. "Dad we're lost. Do you know where Rt 231 is? Oh and there's a police officer that wants to talk to you." They'd gone through all that swamp and ended up down by the Benedict bridge. Someone held a gun on them for trespassing, hence the officer. Let's just say it was a looong car ride back.

that is a hike

My DH has been telling me that I need to back off the boys and let them "be boys." He said, not too long ago, that it is not cool to have your mother standing outside watching you ride bikes when your 9.

I just started given them freedom and bam, they get lost.

Yeah but its a different world out there. We used to know who all the freaks were. Now we only know where the ones that are registered live. To heck with cool.

No matter how well you parent your children, they still rub shoulders with the unrully and unmonitored ones in the schools (unless you home school them or send them to a very exclusive private school). For that reason alone you have to keep an eye out for them.

When I grew up in a town of 1200 I was afraid to act out. 'Cause Netty Cox on the corner had parents' permission to paddle my butt and then I knew Dad would do her one better when he got home from work. Now adays Netty Cox (God rest her soul) would be called up on charges for even looking at me as I swiped her rhubarb.

Don't worry about it. I still hassle my almost 16 year old son all the time about where are you going, etc. Just the other day he said he was going to be one place and then I find out he went another. I read him the riot act about not telling where he is going, etc. Luckily my husband backed me up on this.

With all these kids getting "snatched", you would think that parent's would be a little more concious sp? of where their "little" ones are. Mine are 6 and 9 and I still panic if I don't feel them bump my rear when I do a sudden stop ! I agree with vrai...if they aren't watching their offspring, a little embarrasing "Whose kid is this?!?" would have been great!

But you can blam them.

 

[vraiblonde]

I'd rather blam the parents. *blam* *blam*
