Parent – Child Relationship

Growing up in our house, there was never a question of who was the parent and who were the children. None of this “let’s all be friends and talk to our parents like we would our peers”. Don’t get me wrong, I thought my parents were some devil-sent people who wouldn’t let me have my way, until I got in high school. Then, I guess I started growing up and realizing that our parents are PEOPLE that we can go to with our troubles for their opinions, chew the fat or whatever.

When the Columbine High School incident occurred, it was a sad day. BUT, I often say that something like that would have NEVER happened in our house for several reasons:

1. We could never be in our bedrooms with our doors closed UNLESS we were changing clothes. I was once told that when I started paying bills in the house, I could be in my room with the door closed.
2. Our parents were always “walking by” or having to PHYSICALLY come in your room when speaking with you about something, while side-eyeing everything in your room (Mom and Dad, you are not SLICK!).
3. We all sat down and had dinner TOGETHER, as a family (we still do when we come home for visits) and things of the day were discussed.

So, our parents knew our every move, what was in our rooms, where we were going (though I tried that “lie-about-where-you-were-going bit and it BACKFIRED…..never did it again), etc. We also knew that they were our parents and that we should respect them as such.  They reviewed homework, answered questions (if they could…if not, they sent us to those 1962 encyclopedias in the study…LOL).

I said all of that to say this:  YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK YOUR CHILD’S HOMEWORK (see below).

Okay, so I am posting cause I’m TICKED!!!

Will someone PLEASE help me understand what goes through the mind of these sick people who do these sort of things to innocent children???!!!

I mean, really……..children don’t ASK to be brought into this world. If you decide that you are going to bring a child in this world (um, don’t gimme that accident crap, either), YOU and the other party (i.e., the biological mother and father) are officially RESPONSIBLE for the welfare of that child!! Don’t go dumping children in garbage bags, trash cans, shaking them to death, etc., because YOUR irresponsible and selfish butt decides that you no longer want the child. There are programs in place that allow you to give up the child with no questions asked.

I have friends that can’t have kids and here these crazy people are killing them. Those folks doing that to those kids need to be tarred and feathered and then set out in the wilderness to survive ALONE. Dang fools…. HUMPH…….
