To use a favorite phrase of yours, those people should STFU.

That's funny. I have a crackhead friend who has a young child. He only gets to see him once a month. I would stop by his house when he had his boy because most of the time he was smoking weed or snorting coke right in front of him. A few times he's been passed out and I've taken his son home with me. This is a typical problem child who is 100% out of control when he is around his mom, dad, and grandparents. I know because I know them all. The times that I took his son I tried to take him to his grandparents and they didn't even want to watch him because their lazy drunk worthless asses can't handle him. So I've watched him. He was tough at first, but after a lot of work this kid acts like a normal child around me. I didn't have to throw a leash around him, tie him up, or beat him. Like I said, it's all about teaching. Most people
don't know how to do it. Throwing a leash on a child doesn't teach a thing. It's the lazy way out and quite honestly I find it disgusting. This child's mom and dad can never understand why he behaves when I'm around, but as soon as I leave he goes back to being the problem child. I know why. His son is very smart and doesn't respect them because he knows that they don't respect him so he acts like a maniac. As I've said many times before and I'll continue to say. I know I'm more capable of raising a child than most parents out there. With that said, the reason I don't have a kid is I haven't found anyone that I would want to have a kid with. I'm also going to wait until I have a better job and can provide everything and them some to a child. Also, I won't have a kid unless one parent is going to stay at home and raise the child. I feel it is very important to have a parent at home. I would never let anyone else raise my child. I would totally be willing to quit my job and stay at home if I was making significantly less money than the person I would happen to be with. Lastly, I know that at this point in time I'm still a little to selfish to raise a child... I know I would make my share of mistakes, but that's how you learn. It's the responsibility of a parent to make good on their mistakes. All of my friend who do have kids are horrible parents. Also, I have told every one of them exactly that. They didn't like to hear it, but I'll tell you what. Not one of them even tried to prove me wrong.
You can say that I'm judge-mental on this issue because I wouldn't disagree. It saddens me to see the amount of mis-parenting going on, and nobody seems to care.
