Figure It Out

Women have been mothering for centuries, and now in 2009, I feel like we have a plethora of resources and information on parenting available to us. So there is really no excuse for you to be ruining your children's lives. (Note: Just because your child hasn't DIED yet from your neglegence/immaturity/ignorance, that does not make you a good parent.)*(see footnote)

If you're a shitty mom, please STOP doing the following:
1. Having more kids
2. Letting your kids scream uncontrollably in public
3. Taking your kids to restaurants
4. Telling other moms stories of how you lost your kid/dropped your kid/drowned your kid/had a social worker come to your house/let you child eat poison.

And take a big, fucking DEEP BREATH and START doing the following:
1. Read a book on parenting
2. Take a class on parenting
3. Ask someone for advice on parenting
4. Watch Supernanny
5. Watch your kids (more details can be found in the aforementioned parenting books)
6. Make your house safe for your kids
7. Supervise
8. Be in control of your little ones...After all, you are the adult in this situation.

*And for all the women who read this blog and are put out and offended:
1. I'm not talking about anyone specifically, especially not anyone that I know. These are my general observations over the past few years of being a fellow mom.
2. If you are put out and offended, grab a notepad and write this down, because you probably need it.
