Kids... kids... kids...

Wow. What a day. I thought the preteen years began when kids hit the double digits. Not so! Piper's a true 'tween'. If I hear one more heavy sigh, or see one more eye roll... I might not be able to contain the snottiness writhing to get out. My sweet baby has developed a nasty little sarcastic sense of humor. I'm the only one allowed to have one around here, dammit! >_<

The, I went in to work late today, which is normal. About an hour and a half before we close, some woman comes in with her two little kids, no older than 6 (tops) and leaves them in the kids room while she gets on a computer. Our computers aren't anywhere near the kids room. After a little while, they head to the bathroom and come back... the oldest stops right in front of the circulation desk and throws up.

All. Over. The. FLOOR.

The he goes back into the kids room and starts painting the floors in THERE. His little brother comes by, and I tell him he needs to go get his mom and tell her that they need to go home. He goes, and the mom comes back up and she seemed to be a bit miffed that she should be the one to clean up the piles. Bad thing is, the cleaning closet is locked at night by the contractors we use, so we have no access to anything. So the woman ended up cleaning it up with window cleaner and paper towels.

I'm sorry... Piper's the only one I can clean up after. Anyone else, and I just can't do it.

My thought is... if the kids are sick enough to throw up, then why the fuck are you carting them around in the cold? That's just flat out irresponsible. And there was no reason for her to get huffy at Shannyn and I because we wouldn't do it. Those kids aren't our responsibility.

It irritates the holy hell out of me when parents drop their kids off and leave them at the library all day. It irritates me when they let the kids go into the kids room and tear it up. While they're in there with them. I want to push them against a wall and scream at them. If they can't accept the lifelong responsibility of kids, then they need to keep legs closed or dicks covered. Why do you think I'll NEVER have another one? I know I couldn't handle it.

I just wish people would stop and think before they breed.



K. Gonna use a Ewan icon so it makes me feel happier... and makes me wanna lick the screen... *GRIN*
