thug life/ smoking cigarettes at the playground...
funny- because we went to the "better" playground on the super rich people side of our neighborhood....it is usually yupped out with a parking lot full of mercedes- it is really nice, and much nicer than the playground one block from me. going there is the only time I regret not buying the bugaboo..I feel totally lame and judged with my plain old Compas stroller- AND I always make sure I have make up on when we go there...
so FIRST, I see a family having a McDonald's picnic with their kids, camped out ON the playground, the mom is smoking ( I tried to take a pic for nest fun., but it didn't work out...) high class! The Highland mommies would have BALKED!
so they leave and 4 gangsta ass swaggering mofos roll up, bumping chests and passing things back and forth pocket to pocket while climbing all over the play structures!! the few fancy moms took off, I stuck around, mostly to see what the heck was going on, and because I was just so shocked to see this here, plus I didn't want to look like I was scared off!
THEN two more super WT moms show up smoking and ignoring their kids, one of whom took quite a spill, and whom I had to cuddle back to sanity because he was flipping the eff out. I HATE TOUCHING OTHER PEOPLE'S CHILDREN!! especially while their mom is on her cell smoking and oblivious- I kept loudly saying Which one is your mommy, sweetie? WHICH MOMMY IS YOURS???
it was surreal...I wish I could express to you guys HOW fancy this playground/ part of the hood is...for a public playground, anyhow.
The funny thing is that a year and a half ago- that crap was totally common place on my block- loads of gang action and trouble but our side of the nabe is getting nicer by the day, the trash must be moving west!
Re: playground theme for today:
Wait- I just thought of a great comparison! This playground is the Nest Parenting board of playgrounds!
Everybody hangs out carefully doing the exact right parenting moves very conspicuously and judging each other!
AND I love it.
BUT: Today was BOTB day at the playground!!
