People who "dump" their kids at the Grand Parents over the weekend.

A rant by: Anonymous


This is for those of you that try to justify "dumping" the kids at the Grandparents for most of the weekend/every weekend for reasons besdide working.
Hello People!!! It is not heathy for the kid at all! If you work during the week and your kids are at daycare all day and the only time left to spend with your kids is the weekends, when you are off, and you still dump your kids, well let me say this: you are negligent parents. No matter how you try to justify this(date, shopping, blah blah) you are wrong by doing this.

The MOST important thing kids need beside love and attention is Time and more Time spent with them. Wanna know the perfect recipe to create a criminal in a future time? Spend less time and give less attention to your kids.

End of rant.

Criminal Kids?? You would think the grandparents would use a belt to teach the kids right from wrong. Something not enough parents are doing.

You get dumped at the GP's as a little kid? I'm sorry to hear that. Everything will be OK.

Very interesting. I guess we aren't taking into account a few things. Dependent on age, sometimes parents need their space so they can get things done. Just because you have a kid doesnt mean your life has to be over. Being consistant is the most important part to parenting. The only harm to kids spending time w/ grandparents is that they are going to be spoiled little brats. But i don't know many spoiled kids that turn into criminals?!?! It's the ones that dont get beaten enough or get molested that turn out all messed up. That said, parents arent responsible for how their kids are when they grow up. They can shove their kids in a certain direction but can't make decisions for the kids. Pisses me off how parents think they can decide who their kids friends are. That's how to raise criminals, jam stupid rules and regulations down your kids throat. Dont let them pee w/o asking and never let them out past 7. Stir that in a pot and watch them go crazy when they are adults. Raising lil hitlers. A good parent is a parent that gets rid of their kids when they plan on getting hammered.

MY granddaughter is with us almost every weekend because her mom works er at HSC so I guess that means she will grow up to be a bad kid ......NOT. She goes out bikes and motorcycle riding with us and has already seen and experienced more things than most kids her age all for the good. She is one of two things that I look forward to when I am out on the road

With you being the childs weekend caregiver the kid is going to be screwed up! Perhaps your daugher should just do what i do. Turn on the tv, sprinkle some crackers on the floor, put down some newspaper and lock the door. This buys you atleast 3 days.

tmbrwlf please READ: When you are OFF in the weekends. Having to put food on the table is a very honorable thing and should not be included in this rant... I agree with BigB though, if you plan on Partying, then the G'parents are the perfect option, as long as it doesn't happen too often. The emphasis here was put on the fact that It is important to spend every moment you can with your kids. As they grow up, time is the enemy. The worse thing is that the less time you spend with them, the less they will want to spend with you. (How do I know?...)

When I have a kid, it's going to go to Grandma and Grandpas alot. Why? Because my psycho sibling with oodles of kids still play vindictive games involving their kids and access, and NOT seeing the grandkiddies breaks the grandparents HEARTS. Who are you to say who is or isn't a good parent? Shame.....every family has it's own unique way of raising the kids.

yeah I think that grandparents will be better equipped to prevent the kids from becoming criminals anyways. They (the grandp's) obviously come from a time when spanking's were allowed and they probably know a thing or two at least about punishment and giving consequences for their actions. Parents nowadays are not allowed to discipline their kids and THAT is what causes so many of them to grow up to be criminals. also don't parents deserve a break now and then? Parenting is hard work and most people get into parenting by a mistake (ie-failed birth control, or worse, too dumb to use birth control) and are overwhelmed by the responsibiliites that ensue. To keep the parents happy I think they should get at least one day off a week from their kids, as long as the grandp's are willing.
