Parenting and thier choices

I was going to write today’s blog post about a post that was on facebook today. The post was in regards to co-sleeping. But after carefully thinking about it and discussing it with some good friends I have decided not to. I am looking at it from the views of everyone and agreeing to disagree.

So onward we shall go. Today’s topic is in regards to the actions of parents. I don’t tend to criticize parents and their parenting skills. But it seems like more and more parents are not truly paying attention to their actions.

I took the girls to the Detroit Zoo today, we had a fantastic time but the actions of some of the parents there was unbelievable! My first issue deals with how parents dress their children. Why in the world would you dress your child in a pair of shorts and tang top on the first nice day of the year, yet dress yourself in sweats and a coat?

Or better yet let’s top that one off by a parent riding a double bike with her child on the back. (Sounds fun) but while mom is in front with a helmet, and child is in back without the helmet and mom is driving through traffic. Really! Is the safety of your child not that important?

These are just two of my problems with parents, but my biggest problem with parents is their lack of respect of other parents! How do you expect your child/ren to treat others with respect when you don’t show others respect? I am just going to keep my rant to those two posts. God knows I don’t need anyone spatting out some negative comment with no evidence to back it up.
