Free Parenting Advice

Hi, yeah, I know at 12 you can leave your kid at home unsupervised or whatever, but that does not also mean that you can drop said kid off at the ER for a sports injury he received a couple of days ago that you don't wanna deal with and then go home and tell him to walk back to the house when he's done.
Obviously you know this since you gave the registration people a fake phone number when you dropped the kid off because you didn't want to deal with getting calls from the staff here. You probably shouldn't have given them the real address, though, because now the sheriff's department is there trying to figure out whether or not they can bring you up on child abandonment charges, and CPS is probably going to a pay you a visit there some time real soon. Aaand in the end, you still had to get up off your ass and pick up your kid. Wouldn't it have been easier to just stay in the room and watch The Parent Trap on the hospital movie channel with a complimentary warm blanket? Seriously.

  4. poor kid. sadly we see this all the time when parents dont really care or want to deal with their kids.

    case in point... a fellow bus driver motioned for a parent to come talk to her and the mom says "if its about my kid, i dont care". The kid was spitting water on other kids and the mother simply didnt care.

  5. We are raising children, people; not managing inconveniences! If people don't get that, I know several nice couples looking to adopt who would LOVE some children to raise.
