A liscence to parenthood...

... it should be made a law!

Seriously. Sometimes I wonder where we're headed. when I came home from work just now (I bike), there were these kids playing with a soccer ball on our street. Yes, ON the street. They were kicking the ball against all the windows and doors. So when I went to unlock our door the youngest one (about 4-ish) comes and talks to me about some bug that is crawling up my mailbox and aks if it's a dangerous bug and if he should take it off my mailbox. So I tell him it's a harmless little insect and he's all listening and then he says "I'm sorry that we kicked the ball against your door and window". So I say that I don't like it when they do that and I also ask him why they don't go play on the playground around the corner. I mean, it's safe there, no cars, no bikes and you don't destroy people's houses. Then the kid says in frustration. "No, we can't! We're not allowed by our mom!"
See that family is the most asicial one in our street. Those kids are always on the street until 11pm and such. They always cause trouble and annoy everyone else who lives here. It's about 7-8 children and their mom lives at home... of course you don't have to work when you get childsupport for 8 kids. So the mom is too lazy to move her butt to the beach (5 mins away) or the park(s) also all in short walking distance and even the playground (10 steps around the corner) and that woman sits in front of her TV all day and still wants the kids near her so she can "keep an eye" on them. So meanwhile her kids are frustrated and terrorize the neighbourhood and I'm sure they'd love to go to the beach or the park or something. It makes me so angry that people have so many children, and unless you're really religious (and even then I'd thing you're a moron), there's no excuse for having so many kids that you don't want to take care of. I wouldn'd call them "unwanted" children, since obviously they make money of them. *sigh*
Those kids don't have a choice. I mean even I hate the kids but when you think about it, it's not their fault. It's all the fault of their parents (the dad has to work his ass off to pay for the family so he's barely ever there) and the mom who is too lazy to move her butt and raise her children...

well I guess whereever you live there will be a family like that...


Speaking of family... I'm so thrilled!!! My dad is coming tomorrow! My mom, brother and grandma are coming a day later! I'm so happy to see them again! I can't wait! I still have to do some cleaning and stuff, so that stinks, but It's worth it for them! :) I really miss them loads!
