The most recent bad parenting I've seen was last week. I was at the pool at my apartment complex and there were three kids, between the ages of 3-9 running around and playing in the pool. There was no one there supervising the kids, and one of them was a toddler! The kids kept asking everyone at the pool ';Can you swim?'; One of the people they asked said ';Yes, why?'; and the oldest kid replied ';Oh, because we can't.'; I was like OMG!!! Are you seriously letting your three small children play in the pool unsupervised when they can't even swim and non of them even had water-wings on or anything!!!
I asked a Q not too long about this...I found a young child on a racquetball court and it very much torqued me off...


In a previous job, I had to report to a child getting hurt who had climbed over a museum exhibit (moon rover) and fell and broke both arms...how does a kid get that many feet up girder work?


I've seen kids planted in front of TVs for hours at a time so the parents could have fun and happily ignore them...





Just a few...
I've seen a mother who told her child she wasn't going to buy him his toy cause it was too expensive (it was a firetruck sort-of thing if you were wondering.)





..and then she buys a pack of cigarettes for herself which were even MORE expensive..





I got so mad in my head..
Parents that don't care how their child performs in school, kids that run the streets at all hours, and kids that aren't taught common respect to others.
Having a child back talking to the parents in public or otherwise without correction. This is bad parenting.
kids screaming at their parents faces


crying and having temper tantrums in stores


arguing until they get what they want...
Parents who give their kids 60K dollar cars, but the kids actually expected to get it.
parents letting their kids run around filthy.





parents doing drugs and drinking in front of their kids.





parents beating their kids





the list goes on
No parental control on the television. Kids are easily influenced.
paters not slapping their kids...








';Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child';

';No Glove, No love';
pretty much every bad parent lives in my town, it sucks.
This one major example explains it all. All of America was horrified when they saw this on their televisions
