Whiny Wednesday: People Who Shouldn’t Have Kids

August 24, 2016

Whiny WednesdayI had to take a break from the news and social media recently. It just seemed as if nothing good was happening in the world. Amid all the terror attacks, politics, tragedies, and deadly diseases was story after story that prompted this week’s topic:

People who shouldn’t be allowed to have kids

 It’s Whiny Wednesday. What’s making you furious this week?

    Moms who let their kids run the neigborhood and dont watch them or care where they are at or what they are doing.
    People who beat their kids or have their kids and abuse them. If you have a child it is a blessing and you need to take care of your child and love and nurture your child….end of story

    My sister’s ex!! At the moment he is in contempt of court over several matters; mostly not paying…anything that he was told to pay…no insurance on the kids, and no beds for them either. It was also strongly suggested that he move. That his unorthodox living situation was not good for the kids. He lives with his girlfriend….and her HUSBAND. When the kids stay with their dad they stink. My sister fears they will be known as the stinky kids. She has told the school teachers, and the councilor but this is the third week of school. Not sure how much they can get and use by then. And only one of those weeks was their father’s week. Really my sister shouldn’t be a parent either. She likes being the victim. Sad thing is…my niece and nephew are the victim.

    People who can’t instill altruistic and productive values and characteristics in the next generation.The world has too many narcissists and thieves, and not enough nurses and farmers.

    An Arkansas mother who let her boyfriend zip-tie her four-year-old daughter to a bed and beat her with a plastic bat and wooden paddle. When police asked the little girl her name, she replied, “Idiot.”

    This woman has SIX children.

    Why??

    Leaving your child unattended in a hot car while you pop in to grab some groceries.

    Women that think others should watch and care for their children. I recently experienced this while camping. She had 6 children with her and they were running wild while she sat and talked to her friend. They basically were doing whatever they wanted which included going through our campsite and scaring our dogs. When we said something to the children about not disturbing the dogs they ran and told mommy, she came over and with as much indignation as she could muster, preceded to tell us that “as a parent, I did not know that the children were bothering you and I’m sorry” Well, as a parent maybe you should watch your children and not depend on the world to care and watch out for them. I know if I had children they would not be acting like this anywhere, but then I was raised differently and had respect for others and their space.

    I was a cuddler at the Children’s Hospital but had to quite because I saw so many babies who had drugs in their system, parents who never came to see their babies, or already had children they can’t afford. And of course, parents who abuse their kids.

    I need to take a media break also, have seen way too many crappy parent stories lately on the news. Besides that have been hearing a ton of lately from friends and family have kids things along the line of “We’re so busy, you’d understand if you had kids” and “You wouldn’t understand you don’t have kids” and just thinking we are free all the time when they need things because we don’t have kids.

    Mothers who use their children as weapons against their ex. We deal with this regularly with my partner’s ex who does everything possible to alienate the kids from their father while emotionally abusing them herself.

    So your relationship didn’t last. Get over it and put your kids first.
