[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How hard it is to drive or walk them OP? Are you lazy?[/quote]

See and THIS comment right here is the epitome of this generation of crappy parents.  I actually think the moms walking or driving their kids are lazy.  They rather just do than teach.  Teaching kids how to do for themselves is NOT lazy, it is a necessity.  This generation of parents who hover and judge those that don't hover are ruining our kids.  There are kids in 1st grade that can't tie shoes, can't cross a street, can't walk a block to a friends house, can't even make their own lunch or pack their schoolbag.  Some can't even pick out their own damn clothes or make their bed.  The parents rather just do it for them.  Too lazy to take the team to teach them. "But they are reading at an 8th grade level" they say.   :roll:   So what!!!  If you wait too long to teach life skills, they don't want to listen to you anymore.  If you wait too long, you are enabling them to always depend on you.  If you wait too long, they will feel inadequate and not able to handle themselves, second guess themselves, and will become anxious/depressed in their tween and teen years.

So PP, stop with what you think is this PC bullshit of calling out moms for letting their kids do things on their own.  Saying they are lazy because YOU can't let go of the reigns and have it in your subconscious that being a good mom is doing everything for your kids all the time.   And to be honest with you, Moms would be a lot less stressed, anxious, judgy and maybe even (gasp) a lot nicer to other moms if they could take this weight off their back.  Win win for everyone.

Don't forget how incredibly LAZY it would be to DRIVE your child a block and a half.  Emitome of American sloth.[/quote]

Well most of the moms at my child's bus stop drive 5-10 houses to the bus stop, and not just rainy weather.  I kid you not!  Kids walking home alone wrong but parents starting a car and 6 of them idling for 5-10min is not. And most just u-turn around and go right back to the houses.  :roll: [/quote]
