A survey of 2,000 women by WinMonkey, a UK online games site, found that 50 percent of moms are late to pick up their kids from school because they got tied up at work.
One in five say they were tied up at home. Literally.
No one is slamming pot here. Not today. Maybe pot’s not my thing, but I’m no narc. I’m no Agent of D.A.R.E. (but I so want to drive that van). So I bring you this story not as a condemnation of marijuana use, but maybe just a reminder that we should all have fun responsibility.
So when I tell you a 2-year-girl was found wandering around pantsless with her dad’s glass pipe in her toy purse, understand I don’t automatically blame pot. I blame the dad. Did I mention the daughter was also carrying an empty bottle of pain pills and the family rabbit?
File this under, “the punishment doesn’t fit the crime.” Strike that; file this under, “You clearly should not be a parent unless your job is to raise a serial killer.”
38-year-old mom Lynn Middlebrooks Geter was arrested after she forced her 12-year-old son to kill his pet hamster with a hammer as a punishment for earning a bad grade.
Daad Mohammed (actually pronounced Dad) is the proud poppa of 84 children birthed by 17 wives. This guy’s pick-up lines must be killer.
Isabel Leuvano left her car running while she ran inside her ex-husband’s San Jose home to pick up her daughter. As she waited outside the car, a man suddenly jumped into the driver’s seat and drove away … with her two-year-old son still inside.
The strata of subject matter covered in children’s books today is broad and yet niched. There is hardly an issue children face today that isn’t comfortingly address in a book somewhere out there. Which is great. Then again, there is some subject matter better left alone.
With a beer in hand, and possibly a surely attitude, 4-year-old Hayden Wright escaped his home, wandered the streets, then broke into the neighbors house to steal their Christmas presents.
Hayden’s mom, 21-year-old April, says she doesn’t know how the boy got beer and got out but she’s just glad he’s okay and says it won’t happen again.
It gets stranger.
