I was out tonight watching DH playing ball. The whole time his team was waiting to play (as the other teams finished their game), I was watching two young kids running around and throwing rocks at each other (approx. 4-5 years old). The mother said nothing.
THEN, as the men go on with their ball game, the little girl ran out onto the field!! The mother hadn't even noticed.
THEN (again), once the game was over, the mother got up and saw that her son had crawled up and was sitting at the top of a fence, not knowing how to get down. Not a regular 8' fence... it was about 20' high.
I told the girls I was standing with that the lady should get the mother of the year award.
Re: I am also getting to be very judgemental
Ugh, poor kids, I hope they don't get hurt because their mom is an idiot.
Does the teacher in you totally want to correct them? I always find myself biting my tongue, I'm so used to correcting my students.
The ball field has to be the worst for parental suckage. Moms bringing TINY babies out in heat advisories. Kids running all over without looking for traffic. People smoking and holding their babies/kids. Its just pathetic.
I'm horrible and DO correct kids doing dangerous things. I've never been a teacher, but I have what I call my teacher voice. I feel zero shame in telling kids to knock it off or get out of the road or quit throwing rocks. If the parents don't like it they can bite me.

Moi aussi! :-) I'm always getting annoyed, bitter and jealous when either A) I see a pregnant women who is super young or doing something really fing stupid ie: SMOKING!
Hear kids at my school who already have the crappiest home life and douchebag parents tell me, "my mommy is going to have a baby!" C) See families with more than two kids (especially when they have no control over them or the kids all look like they haven't bathed in 10 days!) D) A new baby E) I'll admit it- ANYONE who is pregnant and smiling.
Is it horrible? Yes! Should I always feel this way? No! However, as you all know after experiencing multiple losses and trying for YEARS to be blessed with a sweet baby, it starts turning you a little grumpy towards others who are so blessed! (No worries, I'm totally amazing at faking like I'm not bitter and grouchy! :-) )
