As a parent, this trend in offloading all parental responsibilities onto the people around us is infuriating. Guns, cars, drugs, porn, why is any of this an issue, just fucking parent.
Try being a teacher. I'm now a surrogate parent.
My mom was a teacher. I have an entire extended family of surrogate siblings.
Oof. My heart goes out to you. Thank you for your service.
As a non parent, I agree.
As a cat parent, I agree.
Pics or stfu!
I'll start
Oh yeah? Well, here's an extra cute pose just for you, cat-haver police!
He is Toby and he... Err... Loves sleeping belly up 🤷♂️
Fuck that cute, not so little shit!
It's been a thing since forever, too. People like this have been hounding TV and radio stations about their content since the very start. And that's with FCC censorship in play, too.
All while the same time they cry about parental rights.
Yeah, that's usually their "right" as a parent to enforce what does / doesn't get taught in their school.
And their right as a parent always supersedes your right as a parent I've noticed.
It’s all related isn’t it? People are too busy and tired to parent, but society pushes/shames them into having kids. So the result is people having kids and pushing society to parent them, then getting upset that this kind of parenting doesn’t work.
Its not entirely new.
in the 80s parents wanted to offload parenting onto the TV.
in the 90s parents wanted to offload parenting onto teachers and babysitters.
aughts parents wanted to offload parenting onto computers and video games.
now parents want to offload parenting onto cellphones and tablets. Cant tell you how many kids, even super young kids, I see with their faces absolutely glued to a cellphone or tablet. Even in my own family. Kids as young as 5 had their own smart phones, with completely unsupervised use.
and the one common thread in all of that, is how the parents never take responsibility for the damage their unparented, unsupervised children do or suffer.
Its always everyone elses fault. Its never mommy and daddy, who cant be bothered to give little Timmy even 5 minutes of their day, who is at fault.
I just don't understand why people have or keep their kids if they hate them and don't want to be bothered by them. It'd be less traumatic for a child to be given up for adoption and end up with a loving family, than to be raised by these types of people.
Folks are down voting you because you are stating inane bullshit that doesn't pertain to anything anyone is talking about. Also bringing up Jill Biden for some fucking reason when she also has nothing to do with anything.
Piss off in the desert and use drugs cut with turpentine with the rest of the gormless hippies.
Fuck yeah! Love this!
