If you need to discipline your kids: fine, by all means. I encourage that. I don’t think you’re doing a very good job of it, given that you’re yelling at your kids every few minutes.
But your methodology sucks, lady. They’re playing in their kiddie pool, shouting and getting into fights every few minutes like kids do. And what do I hear: “Knock that shit off!” and “Get your ass over here!” and all other kinds of obscenities that 3-year old children should be subjected to at an early age. I haven’t heard the F-bomb yet, but I’m patient. I’m sure it’s coming.
Lady, I can hear your shouting from three houses away while I’m running a circular saw on my porch. Your talent impresses me. Your social skills do not. Take the kids inside and yell at them there, if not for the sake of the neighbors, than for the other kids in the neighborhood whose parents may not want them hearing your Howard Stern mouth in the middle of the afternoon.
How horrible. They should be put to sleep :rolleyes:.
Parents who act as if normal kid-behavior is incorrigible are the ones creating a problem. Are they loud enough to bother you? If not, they shouldn’t be bothering her. It would be great if all kids were silent and immobile, so parents wouldn’t have to be disturbed in any way, but it ain’t like that.
particle, I know that. My sarcasm is a bit too subtle sometimes.
What I meant was, if these kids are just doing kid-things, there’s no reason for the mom to fly off the handle. She’s the one creating a disturbance, both in the neighborhood and in her family.
Well, if that guy down the street would stop running that damn saw all the time, maybe I could hear myself think. It’s no wonder I have to mouth off to the kids.
Just kidding*; my inclination to get mad at kids just doing kid things makes me reconsider every having any. Seems like the reasonable choice, rather than making them suffer for it.
*unless you were cutting metal (the worst sound in the world).
See? This is what PISSES me off raw. I decided not to have children for a myriad of selfish and un-selfish reasons and still, people like this continue to have children and parent irresponsibly. I guess when these kids start saying “fuck” at age 5, she’ll think they picked it up in kindergarten. When they torture the neighbors cat at 10, and then start on people or their own kids later in life, WE all have to pay for it.
It also brings up another fine point - fucko neighbors that have no class or consideration for those around them. I’ve had a few. Print out this OP for that hag, mail it to her and tell her that I said to SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
