I wish I saw as much positivity like how you raise your kids, concerning law enforcement.
In my general area, many people of the African American communities, are dead set on demonizing every single last police officer. And they teach it to their kids. They create fear and distrust where there didn’t need to be any. I’ve seen like 11-13 year olds saying they’d rather die than be around a police officer. Wh-, I can’t…just…like how do you manage to get into your kids heads that deep to where they say outrageous stuff like that?
I swear If I have to sit through 15+ presentations on “Police Brutality” this semester from 20 something year olds feeling they’ve been “brutalized” by the police because they got a well deserved speeding ticket, I’m walking out of class every single time.
I can’t believe you can receive disability for eating yourself to death. Freaking idiot Americans.
I took a runaway report from a 31 year old woman who was at least 400 lbs. She was on oxygen. Her 11 year old daughter stormed out of the house and didn’t come back. The daughter is 5 ft and 185 lbs already. She’s in State’s custody and been released back to her mom. That means at some point this woman had her daughter taken from her.
The mom said she didn’t go after her daughter because the daughter would throw stuff at her.
Okay? And your point is…? Be a parent and handle it.
I’m guessing this 11 year old has no respect for her mother because she watches her sit around all day and then gets mad when mom tells her to do chores.
Doctor friend of mine at a HMO suggested that a patient of his lose weight for health reasons. He was spoken to by management because the woman complained that he called her fat.
My father-in-law started doing laundry at 2AM this morning (he lives in an attached in-law suite that has everything except we share laundry). Our washer/dryer is directly below our bedroom.
I told my wife I will literally shoot him if he does that again. I mean, wtf dude.
So my best man is going through a divorce. I didn’t like his fiance before he married her (major shrew) and I said so as gently as possible before he proposed to her. Obviously he doesn’t need anyone’s permission to marry a lady. The whole family hated her.
Fast forward 3 years they have a 1 year old and they’re already split. First real fight and she wants out. Just waiting on the paperwork to finish in the Florida courts. Luckily he got half custody and they make the same money so no alimony.
Naturally he was devastated that his baby will be in a broken home and is bummed that he hasn’t had any nice female attention in a year.
So he calls me up tonight and tells me that he’s seeing his high school sweetheart (they were on again off again for 5 years) semi seriously who is (drum roll):
In the middle of her own divorce
To a violent and emotionally abusive husband
With 3 kids to 2 different dads
I just didn’t know where to start. Neither of them is in any kind of emotional shape to start a new relationship. He just moved out a month ago. She’s shown herself to be a flake before. The only bright spot is she no longer has a uterus. I tried to patiently lay out the risk/reward, but I wanted to shout:
I don’t try to identify issues with what people are doing unless it directly impacts me* - it’s hardly ever well received and is heeded even less frequently.
*I dont count having to be around through the resultant mess - I just count that as a tax for knowing people.
