This is my pet peeve it makes me MAD every time I see it.
As you all know I work for a school that deal with 3,4 & 5 year olds, and every time I see a parent bring in their child with their siblings who are about 1 or 2 years old mom seems to think that the baby is okay walking behind them. Not watching if the kid go into another room in the building.
What is worse is when they leave the building and still the baby is walking behind mom, mom not paying attention talking on her cell. Baby still walking WITH OUT a hand to hold.
Well this happened 2 week ago and mom wasn't paying a bit of attention and mom and baby walk out into the circle where the buses come and drop off the kids that go to the school I work at.
A bus is coming and mom turns around and yells at the baby saying "come on you want to get hit by that bus".
Well I was thinking the whole time she said this to the 1 year old baby, If you FREAKIN' held his hand that wouldn't have happened. It would be YOUR fault if your kid got hit by a bus NOT his.
Then a week later we we coming home from our regular Family Friday Night eating out we were going home on Ohio street (I know everyone know the VP on the corner of Ohio and Sycamore) well there is a fence right before you get to the parking lot of the VP. A mom walking to VP with 2 kids I'd say 7 or 8 years old and a baby is at the start of that fence at least a half a block from her and about to walk in on coming traffic she wasn't watching this baby girl at all! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE. If they can't handle the responsibility of holding a toddlers hand then they should keep their legs crossed!!!
This is what it reminds me of. . . .
Mama duck fallowed by the babies.
At least the duck has an excuse
she doesn't have hands or a stroller. >:o{
