More and more I'm starting to think we need such a thing as a children's Bill of Rights. We always talk about rights of the parents but children's rights seems to get just ignored completely in today's society. I mean why does this child have to have their life potentially ruined and at the very least damaged markedly by the attitude of the parent. This kid didn't choose to be born to the psycho parent, yet it's going to have to feel the the effects of it.
I would like it if we could also somehow make over feeding your child count as child abuse.
There are a lot of parents who will just throw pizza and McDonald's at the child they have brought into the world rather than put the energy in to feed them nutritious healthy food.
Then you end up having third graders that weigh 175 lb becoming the norm.
And when you step back for just a moment and think, it is clear that that is child abuse. They are inflicting damage on that child that will last for the rest of their lives.
But making your child fat out of sheer laziness isn't treated the same as starving your child out of sheer laziness, and I don't know why.
"Put in the energy" what a judgemental prick. You have no idea what someone's personal situation is, nor would you care if you did. Just another cake life dickhead looking down on others.
And the fix for that is name calling? I agree, there is a lot more needed than "energy" but let's have a discussion.
