I need suggestions on how to handle my horrible neighbors and their awful parenting skills...?
I live in an apartment building. After living here for a few months, a family moved in above me. It's been 3 months that they've been here now and every morning I wake up to the step dad screaming obscenities at his wife's 4 kids. Get the f back in your bed, shut up and eat your f'n breakfast. It is literally every single morning. The kids are only 5,4,4, and 3.I did talk to the wife and tell her that I didn't like the way he yells at these kids and is always stinking of booze. I think she was shocked that I brought it up, and kind of tried to make excuses for him. I don't know if he's physically abusive, but I feel so bad for these kids and the fact that they have to live like that...The 2nd problem is that there is a little playground outside that all the kids play on in the evenings. These upstairs neighbors come down to grill and sit in their chairs and drink beer, while their children continually demand that I push them on the swings. I didn't mind at first because I feel so bad that they have such awful parents. However, I have 2 small children of my own 3 and 20 months that I am outside to spend time with and I am also 17 weeks pregnant on top of it. I dont want to be mean to those kids, but my kids aren't getting my time and attention. It's to the point that I dont even want to take them outside anymore so I can avoid this. Can anyone give me some suggestions on how to handle this?
How crazy do you have to be in order to go through such lengths to criticize someones parenting skills?
" Joshua Pinkney Joseph Mears, 19, of 612 N. Mountain St., allegedly told a Cherryville woman he was a Gaston County sheriff s deputy searching the area for a drug suspect March 27.

What are your thoughts?Good point, Zorro.

Why is baby's sleep the official unit of measurement of parenting skills ?
Ever notice how the first thing people even those you barely know ask when they know you have a baby is ''Does he or she sleep his nights ?'' Then if the answer is ''yes'', then they're reassured 'cause you're no doubt a good Mom. If the answer is ''not yet'', they tsk tsk and shake their heads and go on to brag about how their child slept eighteen hours at two weeks... Why do most people feel they can gauge your parenting skills by how long your kid snoozes ? Sleep patterns have a lot more to do with each baby's temperament then wether you're a ''good parent'' LOL mine too slept through at 8 weeks, but I STILL find it annoying
I know a single man raising a 8 year old daughter. parenting skills are lacking, he needs help and advise?
This man is in a situation where he has to share a room with his daughter, he needs to learn how to discipline cause he doesn't do it. He Yells.. He doesn't like to let her out of his sight at all. He won't let anyone correct her, its aweful, but he won't listen to others advise and becomes very defensive. I believe he needs so much help starting with the room situation. Any advise from anyone out there to help
Parents, if there is someone in your life who watches your parenting skills and deems them unworthy ?
do you tend to rise to the challenge and try prove them wrong , no matter how draining that may be ?or do you ignore them , and do what you feel is right anyway ?cathrl69... this is the second series of questions that I have posed that you have asked me what my obsession is... I have been around here long enough to know that if I lay everything out on the line in one sitting, it is a rant... and if I come right out and state where I am headed with my questions, I am automatically presumed to be biased.I have lots of Y A points... and I have lots of questions. And I want to ask them in an effective manner, so that at the end of the series, maybe someone can draw some conclusions.very valid points everybody, thank you and have a great weekend.
Have you ever insulted a strangers parenting skills to their face?
I did last night, I think it was the 1st time. I still can't believe I said it, it was totally out of character for me. I was at Target, the boys fell asleep on the way there so hubby stayed in the car w them while I ran in. I had to go all over the store and kept running into this lady carrying her 3 y o daughter. The child was crying and screaming the entire time while her mother was shopping and carrying her. At one point she told her to shut up. The next time I saw her she lifted her daughter up to her face and told her to stop F'ing crying. The final straw came as I was walking up to the cash register to pay. She told her, " you are a F'ing brat shut up" . I wasn't the only one who heard this, there were 2 other people and we all looked at each other in shock. I walked up to the woman and said, " you don't deserve to be her mother" and turned around and walked off.... waiting for her to come kick my azz and looking over my shoulder the whole time LOL . I STILL can't believe I said that. Anyone have a story they want to share?I wasn't very calm. I acted like I was but inside I was scared to death and then my heart was pounding like crazy after. I just knew I was going to get jumped, lol.
Parents, is there anyone, or any institution to whom you are accountable for your parenting skills?
besides the general government, yourself, your child ren and or your significant other ?Any one who looks over your shoulder at everything you do or don't do with your children, and could legally limit the time that you spend with your children, or the quality of the time that you spend with your children ?thank you.
Bad parenting, lack of parenting skills, or what?
Hello all.I have been mulling this over in my head for 3 years, and I've been a bit stumped about it.I am a 13 year old white male, of Scottish Italian descent, living in the 'burbs of CT.My aunt and uncle, My aunt being married into the family were recently married, they were in their early 40's, in my opinion just to desperate to re produce.My aunt is from France, and speaks relatively broken English having been in and out of the states for the past 5 years, being a citizen for about 3.They have a 2 1 2 year old daughter, with this name Clara Melody Gaussier. Instead of taking her fathers surname, and the family name, she took my aunts, which my aunt stubbornly refused to give up. Wouldn't even compromise with Gaussier My Uncles Surname .Now, onto the real question just wanted to give you a basic idea of the situation. To get things straightI was not raised by a television, but I was raised with a television.My first language was obviously English, as that is the primary language used here in the United States, although I dabble in Spanish and Gaelic. My Aunt and Uncles baby, Clara, has virtually no grasp of the English language despite being nearly 3 years old. She has never seen a television, eaten meat, or had sweets.Doesn't that seem a bit odd? Like over the top parenting? She can't count higher than 3 in English, but she can allegedly count to 10, and say basic phrases in French Well, I don't speak French, so she could be saying " Carrot garbage car room telephone" for all I know. But I digress. Don't you believe that it would benefit a child born in the UNITED STATES to speak English as a first language, rather than French? Don't you think she should be exposed to television? What's she going to think when she does see it? Probably at 10 or 11... . " In French, of course... What is this magical toaster that produces these images? " Honestly, don't you think all that's a bit over the top? Opinions please.
In the community/gov'ts eyes why does low income = bad parenting skills?
So I'm finishing up my bachelor's degree in Marriage, Family, and Human Development and I'm also finishing up my Certified Family Life Educator certificate and as part of that certificate you have to work over 3000 hours teaching family life classes or something of that nature. Well I have been looking into different agencies where I can work and after finding out information most of them are geared toward low income families who are on welfare. I would go to their home and teach them parenting classes, how to make their home baby friendly, teach them developmental tasks they can be doing with their children, and evaluating their circumstances the house, the child's development, etc . I guess I'm just missing the connection between low income bad parenting. My husband and I are considered low income and could qualify for welfare if we tried we probably make less than the households I would be visiting but we are not bad parents at all and we are educated obviously I would be going to teach the classes . Is it that they just assume that low income low education poorer parenting skills? I just don't understand why these types of " watch dog programs" are made for only low income families? Opinions?
