I took my little baby swimming at the pool this evening at the YMCA.
Normally this is a fun time for baby and I but tonight there was two half wit pimply faced life guards on duty who refused to kick the bigger kids out of the kiddie pool.
The little rat faced children where splashing and rough housing around the babies. Once I noticed the two actual employies were doing nothing, I spent my time teaching other peoples children common sense.
There is a huge pool with ropes and diving board where the rest of the public can go. The kiddie pool is for the kiddies. To anger me further was the rude and inconsiderate parents who just sat there and watched there demon seeds splash water all over a little baby and said nothing. Not to mention the teenagers who felt the need to regress to infantile behavior in a wading pool full of toddler pee.
When it's my kids acting up and not watching what they're doing I simply remove them and go home. I do not allow my kids to be so involved in their own selves as to not see how their actions are affecting others. One little boy (around 8-9yrs old) actually came over of his own free will to apologise for splashing near the baby.
I asked him where his mother was and went up to her to tell her what a pleasant child she had and to keep up the good work. As for the other mothers....they didn't seem to appreciate my select words to them or their children. I'm just sick to death of snot nosed little rat faced children who feel they can lip off to adults and disregard smaller children.
Ahhhhhhh.....I feel much better now. Thank you and good night!

i remember once: a beautiful afternoon; we were outside, my baby was asleep inside, and a friend's brat went inside ... he found a lighter, and tried to burn a hole in the wall ... it did not work so ... he tried burning toilet paper to start the wall on fire.
i got grumpy - quite grumpy.
i regret that today ... i should not have been so grumpy ... i should have spent more time with the brat and a lighter and some paper and some twigs - and helped him work it out.
i had a huge hardwood tree stump 2 or 3 metres diameter that i burned out of the ground - i should have invited him to help ... it took three days to burn and he would never have forgotten that if he had started that fire.

I was waiting for a bus once and there was a woman with a small child eating a bag of crisps (chips for the americans). This was about 7.30am, by the way.
Afte a while the kid finished it's crisps and dropped the empty bag on the floor. The mother hadn't seen, and the child was too young to address directly so I politely told the woman that her child had dropped the bag. She looked at me incredulously and said "It's alright, it's empty"! Did she think I was worried her brat might have missed out on some essential fried nutrients? The concept of littering was obviously not one she was familiar with...

I have serious guilt complex when I visit my friends as we still walk the same route to go drinking in the city centre 😕 One day I will pluck up the courage to send them something by way of apology.

Being a parent is a responsibility and a privilege.
My children are a direct reflection of myself, not only my values and morals but also a statement of my contribution to the continuation of the world.
I'm starting to believe in temporary steralization of all people until deemed appriopriate for procreation.
Originally posted by mokkoIt's called contraception, but is not allowed to be used by some, not available to some others, and ignored in the heat of the moment by many more.

I guess that'd be a discussion to take to the debates/spirituality forums though.
Originally posted by rhbYa, true enough. Bottom line, next time some spoiled brats splash my baby in the kiddie pool I'll simply hold them under till the bubbles stop floating up. End of discussion.😏

Originally posted by rhbA couple of years ago on payday, I went to the cash point in Manchester to get out some money and go for a swift pint in Wetherspoons before I went home. The machine took my card off me and chewed it up. I was gob smacked and slightly irritated. I went straight home and when I got there, there was a letter from the bank saying something like ' On such a blah date you made a deposit of ten pounds at your local cash machine in Prestwich. The amount you keyed in to the machine did not correspond with the amount you deposited, therefore your balance has been adjusted accordingly.' Suddenly, it all came back to me. The previous Friday, I had received a letter from them notifying me of a bank charge for £35 for a direct debit not being covered. That night I went out on the welly and had a wee bit too much. On my way home, I bought some chips and gravy. On passing the hole in the wall I put my card in, selected deposit and filled the envelope with my supper then shoved it in the slot. SPLURGE. 😛
