- A one year old fell four feet from the playset, landing on his back on the ground. The mother (Mom A) did nothing. She didn't even get up to see if he was okay.
- Same mother puts her two year old in the baby swing and leaves his three year old sister to push him while he yells, "Come back Mommy, please come back!"
- Another mom (we'll call her Mom B)with three children wears her newborn baby in a front carrier. She covers his head with a cloth diaper while she smokes one cigarette after another.
- Mom B sends her toddler down a very high slide with no one to catch her at the bottom. Child falls to ground.
- Moms A, B, and C (who is picnicking with Mom A) all stare at me as if I'm strange for actually playing with my daughter on the playground. Refuse to speak.

It makes me want to cry when I see behaviour like that.
ReplyDeleteObservations like that make me wonder why we have to get licenses to drive, marry, or operate a business, but any old yahoo with the right equipment can jump in the sack and create a life.
ReplyDeleteStupid people are everywhere. That poor baby w/ the smoking mom. Yuck. I saw a grandma recently at the library (guessing) w/ the window cracked 1/2 an inch, cigarette just a smokin' and a toddler in the back. :(
