I witnessed something amazing today. I was at the magnificent 3-story park with Katie + 3 friends (this is the same park where "ghetto vest" went down). There was only one other group there. It was a mother and her 4 daughters. The mom was holding a big box of Capri Suns and was on her phone from the time I got there, which is no big deal. However, 40 minutes later, and still on the phone, her youngest who looked about 3-ish, totally hurt herself on the monkey bars. She slipped and the bar hit her in the crotch so hard, the entire play structure reverberated. She was screaming, which made the mom look up, but she didn't even hang up, say "hold on", or walk over to her child. She waited for her little girl to limp over to her and she held her while she continued talking. And guess what she was talking about that was so important. Go on, guess....HER PERIOD! Which was totally surprising 'cause she looked old enough to be menopausal.
We walked to the other side of the park where the swings are, and found all their Capri Sun pouches on the grass. Nice.

Similar uncool moment at our local park: 2 year old daughter on the equipment starts gagging and then THROWS UP all over the equipment. Mom is on the phone and doesn't even notice til I get her attention. Then she saunters over (still on the phone, here) and slowly walks her daughter back to the bench- she throws up on the way there, all over the concrete right in the middle of the running space. Mom wipes her mouth off (but doesn't clean off her shirt) and then SENDS HER BACK TO PLAY. With MY kids. Oh yeah, and doesn't clean up any of the mess. And never hangs up the phone. What is wrong with people?!
With all the stimulus money being thrown around why can't we pay more for social workers to hang out at public parks and have serious long talks with these Moms that are way involved with themselves to actually deserve the title of Mother.
By-the-way Happy Mothers day to all.
What a butt.
I had no idea periods were that important.
DUDE! WTC!
totally sounds like she and her family were responsible for creating the ghetto vest.
