PARENTING CAN BE HELL

As a parent I want the best for my son but sometimes it's impossible to not want to strangle the kid. Kids at a certain period can become unruly, rebellious and impossible to deal with. I think what bothers me the most is when that rebellion manifests itself quietly. When a teen is not really open about the daily goings on, it means that they are screwing up somewhere.

As a parent I want to understand but as someone not so far removed from my teens I can remember how hard it was to be that age. I still seem to have the hardest time relating to the whole teen angst thing. I guess it's a combination of me getting older and life rapidly evolving. I am better able to understand what life was like for my parents and yet I just don't want relent in my ways.

Parenting is fun but it can also be hell as time goes by. I guess my only choice is to really wait this out and look back it fondly in a few years time.

BABY WITH A MESSAGE

I have just come up with a great business plan for free childcare. I got the idea from a lady that left her baby in a car with a note at a New Zealand Pack n' Save store. The note was written in first person as if by the baby himself. So here is the business: SHIT MOMMY NOTES! The way the business works is simple, we create notes for all occasions so that when a crack whore mommy, neglectful mommy, unprepared mommy, or bitch mommy puts a kid in a car they can pull the correct note for the correct place and time.

I will now provide our mission statement and that is the following:

The mission of SHIT MOMMY NOTES! is to provide shit mothers the ability to be worst than they actually are.

We have a vison:

Our vision is to give hope to the shit mommies to be, the hope to bring babies to a grim world where there is little to no opportunity for survival.

Yes, we at SHIT MOMMY NOTES! feel that there is a chance for women to neglect the existence of their children and still feel productive and useful. We want to give mommies that opportunity to be absolute crap and feel like they aren't. If you can't tell I'm being completely sarcastic then you really have no business in the human race.

The whole New Zealand thing makes me wonder if we have become so indifferent that a potentially dangerous situation like that has no effect on anyone. The woman that left her baby in a car with a note was not charged because not one person stepped forward to press charges. I will agree that this was not anyone's business but when it comes to a child it should become someone's business. This was a kid being treated like an inanimate object.

This baby had a message all right and that message was that motherhood and parenthood in general is not for everyone. I would say that it's not for the majority of people. Everyone has a great time fucking around but a hard time that comes with the "fallout." This is why the world feels like it's on the brink, because people like that exist. Frankly it's bullshit that this woman did no time and bigger bullshit that she considers herself a mother.
