are you a LAZY parent?

Question

Are you a uselss parent?

Do you now or have you in the past...

1. Left your kids at daycare for more hours than you actually work just to have a "break"?

2. Ask others to take care of your child more than you do?

3. let the schools completely take care of your child's education?

4. Allow your child to stay in the care of someone who has been known to abuse or neglect your child in any way?

Well - those are some basic questions - there are more to come but in the mean time I need to go feed myself since I didnt get a brak today at my preschool teaching job.
By the way, if you took time to read this then you must at least somewhat care. But if you answered yes to any of the questions above , please reconsider your role as a parent and the impact it has on your childs life. Thanks so much. - J

Answer 1

I too am a preschool teacher and know EXACTLY where you are coming from. How frustrating is it that a parent can trust me to care for, and educate their child all day, and yet some do not even know my name?? I am sure some people will be shocked to even think that some parents are "lazy" but plain and simple some are. I honestly feel that many children are better off in preschool care than they are at home....sad but true. I am sorry that you had such a disappointing day. Keep your chin up, you are a good person that cares!!

Answer 2

I havent done those things, an dit is sad that there are people out there, that dont want to spend time with the very children they decided to bring into this world.....

Kids are precious, and they grow up so fast, stop and look at them, they are so simple, all they want is a hug, and for you to like them and approve of them, parents can make the biggest impacts on their kids by doing the most simple things, a hug, a high-five, playing a game with them.

Take at least 15 minutes out of your day to hang out with your child and let them know how great they are, watch their little faces just ight right up!

Answer 3

I am a parent and lets see, Ill answer your ?'s honestly.
1. No, I have never left my children at daycare more hours then I work to have a break. I have however left them there long enough to do the monthly grocery shopping right after work, as I have 3 toddlers and its easier to push a heavy cart when you dont have to hold all 3 of thier hands.
2. Never. I am the primary care taker for my children. My husband only takes care of them while I am at work and our sitter takes a day off. No one else takes care of our children. And I mean NO ONE.
3. No. I home school my 3 year old, she will not be going to preschool. My 5 year old is in Kindergarten, but yet, we have workbooks here at home. We do his homework every night on weekdays, and our workbooks every sat and sun.
4. ABSOLUTELY NOT! I fought the system for 2 years to keep my son away from his abusive father. After months of picture taking, and finally getting hospitalized while in his fathers care, they finally gave him to me permanently (the hospital reported it also. so they finally realized I wasnt just pissed at my ex). He will NEVER see his bio father again without the supervision of a case worker, myself and my husband, and maybe even a couple of other people just in case he looses his temper and we need to do something about it.
Thank you for being concerned about others parenting, but I believe I have mine under control. - R

Answer 4

I do admit that I am a lazy person. I can however say that I never put off taking care of my own child. He's only been with a sitter for 3 hrs his entire 2 yrs of life. He doesn't attend daycare and I'd never even think about putting him in harms way!!!! Does that help you out any??? Oh, as far as education... I have every intention of helping out in his education, but I probably won't get past 5th grade on his homework. I barely got out of school myself. I don't think I'd be much help in that area!!! Good Luck to your questionnaire.

Answer 5

You sound discouraged with people treating their kids with less care than their car. Got you. I am glad someone like you who really cares about kids is working with them. How fortuante they are.
My son is my life and is a wonderful boy because of it. Hang in there. I promise we are not all idiots out here. Most of us care. Most of us parent our kids. Most of us are doing the best we can.

Answer 6

Answer 7
