just me asked:
UGG Ok Parents Drive me mad how can parents raise children in todays world to be racist, judgemental, selfish and all around just bad people? I mean come aren’t we as parents suppsoed to want whats best for our kids teach them better and to be more open mined than what we were growing up. It is our obglation to do this the world they are growing up in has no room for these things. Come parents wake up rasing you children this way is only going to hurt them later in life not the people you are teaching them to hate. Times are changing just think about that.
Is there any one who agrees with me or has there own parenting pet peeves?
I would like to hope that is not true that there will always be racism and such. I mean my farther was to a degree but he tried not to pass it off on to his kids and I am not that way at all I do not raise my kids to be that way. Those of us parents how are trying to make a difference We all deserve a pat on the back and parenting award.

georgia b asked:
We have to pass a test to drive a car. Statistically, more societal damage is caused by bad parenting than bad driving. When are we going to give children the priority that they deserve, and require parenting licenses for people to leave a hospital with a baby? Why not just a simple requirement of a violent-criminal-history clearance and a parenting class completion, and more requirements (home visits, facilitators) as “risk factors” incresase? Insurance companies rate us on statistics and risk factors. Why can’t we rate parents on the same, and require that the riskier ones have more stringent requirements to meet? Children are not pets or property. It should not be considered anyone’s “right” to care for a child. Adoptions and foster parenting impose MAJOR requirements, so why not natural parenting?
Hospitals already employ Social Workers. Just like the nurse walks to yur car to make sure you have a carseat, the hospital SW would verify that you are cleared to take a baby home.
My point is: Why not *change* the law so that you have to “prove” yourself minimally-qualified to care for a child?
Actually, I’m fairly conservative with my politics (except for gay rights and abortion). Saying that it’s someone else’s problem is irresponsible and defeatist. Bad parenting has become epidemic; look around! Red some of the advice and questions, here alone. Why I care: because I’m raising three children in this mess and it’s very very sad. Also, the babies now are going to be caring for us later. If they’re suffering neglect, lack of values and character . . . that’s kind of a no-brainer.
