Nothing to do with snakes, but heard in a neighbourhood garden today - woman talking to toddler -
Do you want to go to bed???
Toddler babbles back
Well stop talking to me like that! I'm your mum, not **IT!!!!
...Clearly one of the 'don't you ****ing swear at me' school of parenting ...
You have to laugh ...well, maybe ... |

Yeah, I couldn't believe it, she really roared at the poor little devil.
I know I use 4 letter words freely and have never had to bring up a small child (can imagine this is a tougher than tough job) but really ... Once I was feeding Saada and she flounced off and I said, well you ****ing snake!
She didn't know what I was saying, but I felt ashamed for months - still do ... |

vile, i hate seeing things like that.... he/she is a toddler - a small child who clearly wouldn't even understand the concept of talking to someone in a certain way, how very sad. i don't want children myself, but love kids and hate to see things like that. Some people love to be nasty to something or someone smaller who can't defend themselves... and i get agro from people like i'm some monster for not wanting to have my own children!
I see more and more children being brought up badly and treated so awfully.... sadly... anybody can have a child... but you have to pass a test to drive a car LOL |

Yeah, I can understand a parent losing their rag and shouting - NO parent can keep their patience 100% of the time, and I reckon it's the hardest job in the world, raising a child, but I can just see that particular kid in a few years time as a foulmouthed little bully ...sad. I suppose if so it'll have a better chance of survival than a gentle kid, but still sad ...
Yeah, maybe prospective parents should go to college for tuition before the kid comes along - wouldn't hurt! |

I've got a 5yr old and a 15mnth old, we never swear in front of them, but a couple of times the 5 year old has come back from school and asked inquisitively "what does this word mean?" makes you wonder where they get them from.
It's a shame really, you need a license for a car, or even for a telly, but any idiot can attempt parenting |

LOL - yeah, don't they just home in on anything naughty! They don't need any encouragement.
I remember walking down the street a few years back and bumping into a group of kids I knew who were reading some graffiti on the pavement, including a remark about a local teenager's alleged exotic sexual tastes ...'What's that mean Lil?'
'I dunno, it doesn't make sense, I don't understand it,' I said quickly.
Lol - kids, eh? |
