It's almost spring

And you know what that means...

It's almost summer.

PROS:

  • No school buses
  • Less traffic because of no school buses or mommy/daddy driving kid to school
  • No school-zone 25-mph speed limits
CONS:
  • More brats running around, screaming, and being a pain in the ass because they're not holed up at school all day
  • Forget about shopping, midday restaurant visits, or going to the pool. Kids will be there in force.
  • Brats on bikes and skates mean you have to pay extra attention in traffic, because the kids sure won't.
  • Did I mention screaming? All fucking day, it seems. Don't kids get laryngitis?
To make things even worse, I just found out an elementary school is being built about a mile or two away from me. The housing developments going up are bad enough, but now they're going to infest the place with even more brats, as the school will undoubtedly draw plenty of kids who don't live in the nearby brand-new housing.

It makes me sad. All this construction is going up in what used to be a really nice semi-wilderness area. Now it's claustrophic and ugly, and it'll be child-infested and yupscum-parent-infested to boot.

Fuck, fuck, fuck. Or on second thought, DON'T fuck, or at least use some goddamned birth control.

WELL MAYBE SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE USED SOME BIRTH CONTROL TO PREVENT A USELESS WASTE OF SPACE LIKE YOURSELF

Hell, maybe if your mama kept her legs closed, space wouldn't be wasted by you oliviasmama1231.

I like your article. Condoms should be mandatory. Kids suck. could it be because their parents are idiots?

Um, weren't you a child once.
I can totally understand not wanting kids, or not even liking them. But this hatred?? You may need some counselling or something.

I agree anonymous. You would think that folks so 'happy' with their decision wouldn't be so hate filled. I feel sorry for them.

Sadly, what we hate is what a sad excuse parents have become. You let your kids run wild, leave your dirty diapers in shopping carts, on lightpole bases in parking lots and even throw them in the woods when at the park.

Parents no longer honor the onetime social contract that used to exist: In excahnge for support (tax breaks, school taxes paid by CFers, etc) that you'd raise considerate, well-behaved potentially productive members of society. That when there was a problem, you'd take swift, decisive action to correct *your child*, not tell the other adult to go pound sand. Instead what we see is semi-literate thugs whose primary behavioral characteristics are disrespect, rudeness and an entitlement mentality. Parents aren't holding up their end of the bargain and they haven't been since about the mid 1980s.

You wonder why we're angry? Well, your "village" rhetoric sums it up:

It takes a village to raise a child. Well, you happily take the village's money, but when goven any sort of inout about your kids, you're offended. Well, the village wants its money back. We'll stay out of your face as soon as you pay us back.
