Ok so, went to the mall today to meet up with my sister and her 3 kids (ages 1, 3 and 6). It was a seemingly usual trip.... Kiara being silly and screeching cuz it echo'd, Kaleb being a booger, and Kalista wanting to go and see everything.
Well, after lunch we went to the little area where they have these giant climbing toys, so the kids could play for a bit. The rules of this place say you have to be 6 or under age wise and accompanied by an adult. We get there and there's these 7 or 8 kids... big kids, definitely some were over 6, for sure, running and trampling over all the little ones, screaming and all around being brats of the highest level. So I'm looking around, trying to find a parent, expecting to see their faces shoved in their phone texting or just not paying attention at all, but I don't see one. ( side note: the kids were of color so, that's kinda, how I knew what to look for parent-wise, no racism intended by any means)
THEN a security guard shows up and he goes over to talk to a few of the kids and calls in 3 more security guards who then have everyone in the area round up their kids so they can see who claims them. No one did. Come to find out, from talking to one of the guards, the kids were with their teacher (assuming daycare) and she was off shopping in a store almost half way across the mall! She just left them there, alone!!!
The security guard got a description of her outfit from the kids and announced her name over the PA, but she still didn't come. They found her in a store and sent her back for the kids after a bit. The woman had to be19-22 years old and she was alone with that many kids on a trip to the mall?
If people pay her to watch their kids, I hope they rethink that one ASAP and ask for a refund..... As my sister pointed out, she came for the kids them sat down and stayed there letting them play more.... why didn't she get them and hurry away out of embarrassment? I sure would have, but then again, I wouldn't leave my kid unattended just to shop....
People these days make me want to punch them in the face and scream " are you a total effing moron????!?!?!" Thats it for my rant today!
Some people are not fit to have or even watch over kids. ever. never ever. they should have them fixed just in case they ever try.
