The ranting continues

Another open letter:

Other parents (really just mothers*) at the playground,

Pay attention to your brats children! Some of us that visit the playground at the park or indoor play areas would actually like our kids to come out with all the limbs they entered with, but you what makes that difficult? When little Timmy is running a muck all over the place with no regard for the other, usually smaller, kids around. The playground equipment is not a bunch of odd shaped, metal and plastic babysitters there to look after your kid and tell them to stop climbing up the slide the wrong way creating dangerous “TRAFFIC JAMS!”. No, the looking after your kid thing is something you signed up for when you decided to bring your evil spawn child into the world/home.

And please let me make it clear to you that if you refuse to tell your kid to smarten up when he/she puts one of my girls in danger or worse actually hits or pushes one of them to the ground? I will not hesitate to tell the little shit to back off – believe me, I have done it before only you don’t notice because you’re to involved in your little bitch fest with your friends on the bench over there. And you know what the funny thing is? When I tell your kid to stop hitting/pushing/whatever they actually listen! Imagine that – discipline works! Who knew?

Anyway, what I’m trying to say is either stay at home and let your kids run wild or start paying attention to them. Oh, and please just refer to the photo at the bottom of this post.

*Oh yes, I’ll say it. Any time I see Dads at the park they’re actually up and playing with their kids, and you know – paying attention. Of course there are plenty of good mothers at the park, too. It’s just the lazy ones who ruin it for everyone.
