Yeah– “Lackadaisical and nonchalant” parenting– that’s what my old boss called it. I am tiring of dealing with the aftermath of this type of parenting and selfishness, self-centeredness, and just plain stupidity. If you don’t want to parent your kid, raise them up right, be there for them during the bad times, the hard times, the difficult times (including after they reach age 18–especially after they reach 18 because just because that is the legal age of adulthood doesn’t mean they are actually grown and doesn’t mean your job as a parent is complete…plus if you have a child that is having problems at that age that may mean that something you did or didn’t do as a parent has messed them up– there was a failure in parenting somewhere), then you shouldn’t have ever had kids.
Again: If you don’t want to parent your kid, raise them up right, be there for them during the bad times, the hard times, the difficult times, then you shouldn’t have ever had kids. Period.
That is what’s wrong with parents and kids today, that is what’s wrong with this country– too many dumb-ass people thinking it’s easy to raise a kid, or that they have to procreate even though they are not prepared to do the necessary work and sacrifice it takes to raise a child. Too many dumb-asses thinking it is all about them, using their child to boost their ego, self-esteem, etc. –enjoying the good times– while not being there for their kid(s) when things get difficult or when the kid(s) are difficult, or do something the parents don’t approve of and/or can’t handle. In other words, when things aren’t so fun and easy anymore.
Too many kids getting fucked over by their parents…parents who are supposed to try to raise them up right, set a good example, and teach them to succeed in a difficult world but don’t for whatever reason but mostly because they are lazy, permissive, and stupid. Oh, and more concerned for themselves rather than putting their kids first.
I am freaking tired of this type of parenting. I always have to deal with the aftermath of SHITTY parenting…er, of lackadaisical and nonchalant parenting. And it ain’t easy picking up the pieces of this type of parenting, rehabilitating a kid so to speak.
People! You don’t have to have kids. If you want it to be all about you and to stay all about you all the time then don’t have kids. There is no shame in that.
