Mayday dearest

Living in the city, I'd actually love to see some of the mothers in my neighborhood adopt a little more "suburban style" "smothering" to their child-rearing technique.

 

Joan, care to share an example?

Living in the city, I'd actually love to see some of the mothers in my neighborhood adopt a little more "suburban style" "smothering" to their child-rearing technique.

 

 

I have been reading these posts...and while I have my fair share of peeves about the suburban mentality--which are mostly centered around auto dependency/seeming delight of sprawl as a good thing, often complacent minds, and anal lawn care habits with the poisonous chemicals (not to say that any of these peeves cannot exist anywhere)... I don't think it is fair to gang up on them as far as making fun of the 'my kid is an honor student' thing. Yes, I don't like the achiever bumper stickers either... But to post an opposite one as mentioned above doesn't strike me as funny. Why?......Because to many, especially bullies.... instead of getting all that can be absorbed out of the education----it is easier to make those who DO strive to do well in school look like wimps, sissies, etc.---all because those who scorn such, must have some serious low self esteem problems. Instead of striving to do better, in other words, it becomes easier to make STUPID look cool and smart look "GAY!" as is a word so often used by many youth these days. 

 

Also, I can cite a common example of what has become a typical and all too often common  negative 'urban parenting' scene---and that is, to see a parent/guardian walking 25 or 50 feet in front of their child, not paying a lick of attention to the kid who wanders around clueless  often in diapers near busy streets! How about no parent to be seen at all....at ridiculous hours of the night..kids in diapers walking around outside the house at 11:30 PM or 1: 00 AM? I see it nearly each and every single day---and much more so in the 'urban core' than I see it in the burbs.

 

So, in that respect, maybe SOME suburban parenting models can teach a better lesson than the examples of failure and dysfunction that run so rampant in other areas. (Again, not to say this sort of thing cannot happen in the burbs---it is just a matter of where it is witnessed the most and I cannot deny what my eyes see all the time)

 

I live in the core...lived in the burbs, lived in what we can call very rural/forested lands...And each place has many things to be witnessed ...and from my experiences, I cannot deny that some of the worst examples of the scenario I described above occur with 'urban parenting'.

 

Dysfunctional behavior, no matter where it happens, is just that...it is not a 'culture' Too bad it is so often seen as the norm, though.

^Let me make it clear that I am NOT in favor of bullying, as I was bullied a lot during high school.  Neither did I say I disagree with the "honor student" bumper stickers.  I disagree with the fact that some parents treat their kids as trophies, and I have mostly seen that in the suburbs.  I think both bumper stickers are tacky.  I just think the opposing ones are a funny rebuttal for the parents of the kids who don't do as well.  Maybe when I become a parent my viewpoints about those will change. And if I have a child who is an honor student, maybe I will get one of those bumper stickers.  I doubt it.  I doubt I will get the opposing one.  I just made a point that it was funny, not that I support the whole "bully the smart kids."  I did strive to do well in school even though it was tough for me to do. I did receive sh!t from kids who slacked off and did nothing but cause trouble.  So I am very sympathetic to that.  I'm sorry if I offended anyone with that bumper sticker comment.:-)

As a person whose parent had those stickers, I thought they were tacky and dumb then and I still think they aretacky and dumb!

 

Why were you bullied?  Hell most nerds were bullied.  I was bullied because I was tall and didn't want to play basketball and "smart".  I didn't care what those kids thought, I was not going to be a "stereotype"!

 

As I said then, "beauty & athleticism fade, but stupid is forever!"  Believe it!  As I said to my brother, "breaking your leg was the best thing that happened to you as now you'll be forced to use your brain.  Be lucky it happened now, not after you graduated college."

I totally get the humor in it...the rebuttal thing...and I used to laugh a lot at it as well. I do not like the kids being treated like trophies either... But in the last few years it seems, maybe less, maybe a bit more.... So much media has made "stupid, loud, obnoxious, in-your-face"...and anything else that is simply bad behavior and example....look 'cooler' than I have ever seen before in their tactics.

 

There is a documentary out called "The Merchants Of Cool" that very well defines what I am trying to say....How they cash in on the destruction  of youth by promoting anti-social trends. This sort of thing has gone on for years...But more recently it has sunk to a whole new low. An excellent example can be seen in the advertisements in the following link: http://www.noiseoff.org/ads.php    :-o

That's one of my pet peeves right there. Kid's who think they have the authority to bully people so they can look cool. That happens so much in high school. It's funny as hell to see those kids when they realize that they aren't the top dogs after they get out of high school. They wasted their time, and now they have to pay for it. The whole behavior thing is getting out of control.

Honey, time is your best revenge.  I refuse to set foot in a reunion party, but just going in, walking thru, and seeing how miserable those "popular" and "bullies" lives are now, is worth the price of admission.

Here is a peeve...Well, more than one... Tired of seeing the discarded McDonald's bag at the curbside along with Cheetos bags everywhere else. Some people must think the purpose of a car window or door is to serve them as a trash disposal shoot. And in the urban core, when it comes to fast food litter...McDonald's wins hands down. Probably has something to do with their heavy target marketing to inner urban youth. I'm sick of cleaning up the mess. One time, I saw someone do this, park their car go in someplace...and their car window was left open. I simply picked it up and tossed it right back in their car when I was sure no one was looking.

Add to that the people that open their car door and dump the remnants of whatever drink they had on the ground / or flick their cigarrette butts out of the window, still lit.

It's far easier to just google them. No need to actually talk to them. I wasn't bullied much, but I was not one of the popular kids in school either. A few of the popular guys from my high school went in together after college and formed a company to invest in real estate. Gee, care to guess how well they're doing?

Exactly! And for people who think a cig. butt is no large thing.. I suggest looking at a curbside at a traffic light next time they are near one...and maybe an exit ramp..and look at the thousands of butts laying all over the place.

Whenever someone in front of me flicks out a cig butt while driving, I just flash my head lights at them and sometimes honk the horn.  They know why I'm doing that and sometimes I wish I was a cop.  Damn I'd be pulling people over left and right for that.

I didn't talk to them. My best friend forced me to go.  I didn't, rather, those kids didn't speak to me then, I have no desire to speak to them now.

 

I see people I went to Jr. High and High school or who are friends with brother or cousins, and I walk right by.

 

Hell, I had to worked on a project with someone and they didn't even know who I was.  This person actually referred to me as my cousin, we don't look anything alike.  The sad part is I had been to his parents home for parties.  I just looked at him, rolled my eyes, turned and went back to my office.  I probably shouldn't have done that but I was boiling.  God rest his soul.

Good message. That's an idea. Sometimes, and I use better judgement...But I will pick it up if I am outside and they are as well..and say.. "Oh, excuse me...  I think you dropped something...  I know you didn't mean to litter" And I hand it back to them.

 

Many forget that it is littering and how all the "oh its just one little" comments...add up to be a lot and the result is something people notice that looks/is dirty. I commended Mike White one time when he saw someone dumping their whole ash tray from their car onto the street in front of Terminal Tower. He happened to be with his Chief of Staff, I think...and a law enforcement officer...or something to this nature...and when he witnessed that he simply said... "Ticket them" Enough said.

 

In Darwin, Australia..they have a 'bin your butts' campaign and do fine people for doing this. The result... The place is highly complimented, visited, and immaculate. People see one little thing thrown down and it leads to another and another... When I worked with the state parks, it really agitated me to see people throw butts in the forest for the risk of major fires. We had to remind people all the time. We also found that a little litter left unabated... always invites more and more and more... It became costly to clean up after this when we had to oversee other daily activities at the park.

 

 

Here is another off the wall peeve, bathroom peeves... squeezing the tube of toothpaste all over instead of from the bottom up....getting pubic hairs on soap bars or on shower walls... and leaving it like that... Peeing all over the seat of the toilet. (splatter)

Ill throw one more in....When people just rinse there hands with water instead of washing them with soap. The water is already running and you have to dry your hands, why not go all the way and actually add the most important part, the soap.

"I borrowed him/her the money" instead of the word "loaned." It seems to be common with the younger generation.

I can't stand people who don't return their grocery carts to either the corral or to the store itself, or at least the curb in front of the store.  When I see people leaving their cart and getting into their car, I march over and scream "OH, LET ME GET THAT FOR YOU, YOU FAT, LAZY F*CKER." and then I angrily take it to the corral.  I usually get a lot of bewildered looks. If they are driving off before I can get over there, I just scream "LAZY!" at them as they go by. 

>I totally agree with the whole suburban parent thing.

 

The youth sports culture is out-of-control, and the girls sports are as bad as the boys. Somehow these damn volleyball games take priority over coming to family events, so much so that whenever someone doesn't show up, we don't wait for the explanation.  It's volleyball.  It's lacrosse.  It's wrestling. 

 

My real beef with sports is that people who have stunted emotions can find salvation in the tropes of playing sports or being a superfan.  I see it all the time with married former frat guys who can't work things out with their women (they communicate only in grunts) and so just bury themselves in ESPN or X-box.  Then there's the whole matter of dropping $100/seat to take your kids to an OSU or NFL game.

I've never even heard that one before! That's terrible!! Although I have heard "...lent him the money."

I've worked a lot of retail but never at a grocery store, but I still don't leave my cart, I don't think it's right.  If you're physically capable of pushing your cart out to the lot, even in bad weather, you're capable of taking it back.  Some have argued, "but what about my kids in the car?"  Ok, you can leave your kids in the car for 30 freaking seconds to take the cart back! Jeez.

LOL. Actually, this was BEFORE the kid.  I've tried to keep the screaming at strangers to a minimum since I had the baby.  Since I'm home the majority of the time, that's been easy.

You are my new hero.  I also scream, but it's always from the safety of my car lol.

I can't find it via the search feature, but DanB, are you the one that told me I'd be abandoning the cloth diaper idea once the baby got here?  Or was it Kingfish?  I can't remember.  Whatever, for what it's worth, baby is 10 weeks now and we are 100% cloth.  We transitioned into it slowly, which is why I think it worked.  But we couldn't do it from the get-go because all the diaper covers were too big on him, so we had to use sposies at first, so it worked out well as it gave us a chance to try out the various kinds in our sampler pack and figure out which ones worked well for us so we could purchase more of them and build up a stash.

I also just got the guy ejected from the front of my grocery who is claiming to be deaf and asking for donations.  He actually BLOCKS the door and gets in front of you as you exit to show you his card that says he's deaf.  Ok guess what.  You don't get money handed to you in life just because you're deaf.  I know PLENTY of deaf people, I have dated 2 interpreters and there are lots of people out there who are deaf and who work to support themselves, there is a thriving deaf community here and lots of help if you want to get a job.  I took sign language in college and though I don't use it regularly, I remember enough for some basic conversation and I signed "no" and "what is your name" to him and he had no idea what I said and didn't do any signs back so um no, I don't think you're deaf and I got the store manager to chase him away.  I suppose he could be deaf and just not know sign language but you know, not my problem, leave me alone.

I can't stand people who laugh obnoxiously and inappropriately.  I went to my niece's play today and there was this old guy who wouldn't shut up.  He laughed at everything (like every minute for an hour) and did so loudly, so much that it actually disrupted the play(s) at times. 

 

And the most bizarre part was that he turned out to be one of the counselors.  He should have know better.

^Maybe he was drunk?

How about people who keep talking and talking on an airplane...especially on long flights...so that everyone can hear...while it is obvious that the person they are talking to does not want to be bothered!

It was probably me as my retirement plan depends on as many disposable diapers sold as possible!  Congratulations, if you can stick it out, you can save a lot of money!

Ok... Just have another peeve/issue.... 

 

How about when you're driving.... and some fool in front of you thinks it is ok to block the flow of traffic with their car...ignoring the rest of the world around them...and sit and chat with someone who walks up to the window for moments on end...as if the whole world has to revolve around their discussion. I am not talking about waiting a fair bit if someone is clearly lost and asking for directions, and so on, or something similar. I am talking about people clearly having a discussion, KNOWING you and others need to move on and cannot get around....and EXPECTING everyone else to wait while they do it as though to dare you to honk the horn. Geeez... Pull over already and chit chat.. Don't expect everyone else to revolve around you! That scenario absolute irks me big time.

I see it at Lowe's, where sometimes it's not just the shopping carts, but the heavy steel platform carts they use for building materials. People don't just leave them; they push them into the handicapped parking spots as if they can't tell the difference between those and a cart corral.

 

People who do that should be subject to the same penalties as someone who parks in a handicapped spot without a permit, because they're effectively making the spot unavailable to someone who might need it. However, the stores aren't going to have anyone enforce it because it might alienate customers. I used to call people's attention to what they were doing when I saw it happen, but I gave that up after I very nearly got punched by some redneck f*cker.

 

 

I've been punched by redneck f*ckers before, just not in the parking lot of a Lowe's. :)

It drives me crazy when people don't have their contact info on a business email address.  It makes it so much easier than having to dig up their phone number.

Have no idea, but i was behind a girl doing 53mph on the highway in the far left lane last week with her foot out the window, while everyone else was passing her giving her the finger and motioning "What the eff are you doing?"
