Recklessness

I will never understand the minds of some people.

This morning i see a pregnant woman walk in for her shift holding a redbull. PREGNANT. Apparently she didn't think it was a big deal... Maybe it isn't to some people, but from what i understand, it is a VERY big deal. A soda? Fine. Red bull? No. She asked about coffee. Uh, hello? Caffeine?! Either she hasn't been to a pediatrician yet, or they didn't tell her what was bad for her baby. I took her red bull and threw it in the trash.

I don't get it. Some people think that a baby is like a toy you can put away when your bored with it, or give it to someone untill you feel like being a parent. They also don't give a damn about the child's well being before its even born.

I see it like this for a pregnant woman:

Would you put that in your baby's bottle and give it to them?

Would you give that to your newborn child to eat?

No? THEN DONT CONSUME IT YOURSELF!!! What ever you eat, the baby eats.

As far as the woman above goes- i was told that she was smoking a cigarette while prego. Last night, i caught it myself. Even if she weren't smoking herself, she was next to two other people smoking. 2nd hand smoke for a pregnant woman... *face palm*

Speaking of bad parenting...

Some little girl seemed to think that the middle of the road was the perfect place to ride her bike into oncoming traffic... No helmet, no pads, etc. The pads and helmet thing would be enforced by her parents if they saw HOW and WHERE she was riding her bike.

Middle of the road, "riding like an egyptian", hands in the air. Through traffic. Like it were the coolest thing in the world to be plowed over by three cars "like an egyptian." She Didn't even bother to look both ways, and when she noticed the cars in three different directions, she kept going like she owned the road. Her parents did not teach her to look both ways before crossing the road, so now she will have to learn the hard way because of her parents irresponsibility and ignorance. At least her friend had the brains to stay on the sidewalk, look both ways, stop when she saw cars, AND keep her hands on the handlebars.

When i made my turn, its like the stupid little twerp wanted to follow me and ask how cool she looked riding her bike and "dancing" at the same time. When i walked down the parking lot, the little turd and her smart friend rode by AGAIN. Little dumb ass had the nerve to look at me like I was the moron. I may do little jigs in the car while driving, but i look both ways and keep my eyes on the road, and hands on the wheel. If anything, kids need to pass a "Bicycle riding license" Test before they ride with out their mommys. If only i were a cop, i would write that little shit a ticket for reckless 'riding'. I dread the day she gets a drivers' license, but thankfully I will be LONG GONE out of state when that happens... She will most likely have it revoked after she backs out the first time. Then get it back at 18. And get it revoked again.

By giving your child little knowledge, you have given them a short life of misery.

Protect your children and give them the basic knowledge known as "Common Sense". They will live longer the more you teach them...
