I am creating this thread so everyone has a place for their rants about anything and everything.
Mine is as follows:
WTF is up with President's Day? I remember the good old days when you got Lincoln's Birthday AND Washington's Birthday off from school. Now you either only get one day off, or in the case of the school district here, a week. Let's just go back to the old holiday schedule. Don't mess with what isn't broken. Kids enjoyed shorter school weeks randomly through the year, even if the parents didn't.
Seeing as how none of my children are in school yet and won't be for a year or so, I am sure this rant will be subject to change once I have to juggle work and school. But right now I am MAD. (k, not really, just had too much caffeine this morning)
Oh and why do people feel the need to butt in when I swat my daughter's hand in a store after telling her 900 times not to touch something and she looks at me, sticks her tongue out and touches the item again? You know the busybody completely missed the 900 times I told her not to touch, and that they did not see the tongue sticking out and blatant defiance on my daughter's part. yet they fell the need to tell me that I am horrible mother and abusing my child.
Look lady, if I was a horrible mother I would beat the crap out of you in front of my child using a weapon, like the child's plastic golf set in my shopping cart. But as it is, I do not want to teach my children that their toys can be used as weapons against one another. But thanks for the concern. BUH BYE!
