Look I’m a nice girl. I am usually very happy for other people, but this week has been a tad difficult. Not 1, not 2, but 3 of my friends had babies all within a few days! It was like 3 knives... stab, stab, stab in my heart. Don’t get me wrong, they are all lovely ladies who will be great Mums, but it is getting harder and harder to continue smiling.
What I am noticing more and more, is how bitter and judgemental I have become of other parents... and by that I am referring to "yucky" parents.Not far from where I live are some lower social-economic areas, so down at the local shops there is a large cross section of society. What is really testing me is seeing these yucky parents.
By that I mean -
1. Parents smoking near their kids
2. Rough teen parents who are onto their 4th kid
3. Parents who aren’t even watching their kid run into the road
4. Parents screaming at and smacking a baby for essentially just being a baby
5. Parents who allow their kids to be barefoot and underdressed when it is rainy and cold
6. Crack head parents!
You need a licence to drive a car, in some states you need a license to have a dog...
But anyone can be a parent!
