THAT child at the restaurant, and their parents.

Are you deaf? The ear piercing shrieks coming out of your child can be heard from MILES away! SERIOUSLY. Please stop ignoring the situation and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! We have a pre-packed bag that goes with us to restaurants for the entertainment of our kids and our sanity. I suggest you look into such an investment. Don’t want to pack a bag, no problem! Might I suggest peekabo, fun with car keys or better yet slip them a valium. OK I kid on that last one, or come to think of it, maybe not. When within 5 minutes of your being in a restaurant everyone knows your kid’s name, whether it be from your constant “reprimands” or simply bc you let them run around from table to table, you have a problem. Let me inform you for the rest of us- it’s NOT cute! No-one except you finds your kid adorable. It also ruins things for parents that have children that behave like they HAVE been out in public before. People dread when we walk in I’m sure but since we plan ahead we have never had a problem. In fact, a couple times we have even been told how surprising well behaved our boys were. Do we deserve to win parent of the year award? No, but I hate to tell you that you are in serious running for the most clueless parent of the year. Next time you are out in public with your spawn, please be more considerate of the people around you or just don’t go out.

The facebook rant that started it all!

The other day on facebook I was totally sucked in to a “friends” random rant. Not only did I read the whole thread but I went BACK to see if there were any additional comments. After several checks and no new comments the obsession ended. It was a rant I had no invested interest in but it was obviously therapeutic for the author. The back and forth between people had me mesmerized. I thought that must be nice to just rant, at the very least it has to save me money in therapy. Since I know tons of people that have blogs I figured, why not. So here it is- MY blog. I warn you now, I will rant. I find myself completely perplexed most days at human behavior and it's gotten to the point where to share will do me some good. I will offend some and I am ok with that; I can’t win over everyone. I already have a couple rants in mind but being as it is Thanksgiving I will wait a couple days to unleash. Soooo I am off for now but more is to come.
