Its a Critique kinda day...

First of let me give my disclaimer:  The ideas, words, thoughts, etc in this entry are mine and mine alone.  There will be no names mentioned, so if you think this is about you, then maybe you are guilty and have some thinking to do.

    I don't understand how "parents" (people are suppose to be raising children) can put ANYTHING or ANYONE in front of their children.  No matter the age, excuse, or situation.  I can tell you for one that my husband, mother, father, brother, friend, or pastor will not come in front of my child.  The hardest thing for me to get through my head is how you can choose a new spouse or new children (step parent and step siblings) over your own.  How can you abandon what you made?  Do you understand that the child who calls you "mommy" and "daddy" was a gift from God himself?  Why do people who push there children off to the back burner for whatever reason allowed to have children to begin with, not to mention have MORE.  There are so many people in this world who cannot have children and are BEGGING in adoption ad's to take unwanted children to call their own yet you have 16year olds etc who have babies and the parents or grandparents raise them.  Forget the 16 year olds, what about the 20 year olds and up who let a family member or babysitter raise their child?  Sure, my son goes to his aunts house while I work, and he's there more than he's at home most of the time, but its not because I WANT him to be there or NEED time away from him.  Its so that I can go to work and earn money to keep us happy and well taken care of.  How do you pawn your kid off EVERY weekend to go to the bar, or go to deercamp, or WHATEVER it is?  EVERY WEEKEND???  Sure, once a month or so, everyone needs a break.  Also when it gets to the point that you are posting on FACEBOOK to find a babysitter and basically begging???  I can honestly tell you that I wouldn't leave my son with 97% of the people on my facebook.  Also how do tell someone what they need to do with their child, when you couldn't take care of your own?  How do you tell someone what doctor to use when the one you used said there was no need to potty train, they do it when they get ready on their own??  Not to force children to eat something they dont want to eat?  HELLO????  No one FORCES a child to eat something but it is heavily encouraged.  If you don't encourage them to try things they end up being a picky eater and they lose out of vitamins and minerals that they need to be healthy.  How can you sleep at night and live with a free conscience knowing you didn't do EVERYTHING you could to do the best for your child?   How do you not bathe your child and then take them to town etc?  I understand kids get dirty playing and eating, I have a boy, I know it well.  How do you not teach them everything you can?  Why do I see children who are NOT mentally handicapped in ANY way not know how to speak?  I see children in the 2nd grade who talk worse than my 3 year old!  How do you take a child somewhere and not inform the parents where you are going?  What if you had a wreck?  Would anyone know where to find you?  How would YOU feel if someone took YOUR child and went somewhere and didnt tell you?  "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".  There's a reason this is the GOLDEN RULE people, a reason we teach it to children as soon as they start school along with " Keep hands, feet, and all objects to yourself".  If people would use what they learn thoughout their life they'd be much better off. 

I've lost my train of thought, which you will all figure out is NOT hard to ....oh look something shiney!!!

I might post more later... just too much going on in the melon right now
