Would you treat your kids like this?

My son tears up if I raise my voice...I couldn't cuss AT him. WITH him is another story My job as his mom is to set him up to be successful. To teach him the things he needs to know to be the best man he can be. These parents did a bad job

We definitely need more young parents like you, Lori! Some (both successful couples, and single parents).... just don't get it. Or they don't care, about making sure the children have every possible chance, and are ready to leave the nest prepared, when it's time.
Kudos, for your approach.........

Kids range for 16 to 1 year old and a baby on the way. I'd guess the mom is 35 and the dad is in his 30's. Nine cars and trucks in front of the two trailers. One pickup was working and all the others had leaked oil into the ground around them. Or he just changes the oil into the dirt........

She said the kids play in the old trailer and the floors had dropped in places........No banjo was playing .......but I wonder what the school aged kids looked like?

The one year old was looking for attention from me while the dad showed me stuff he wanted to sell...........he tried real hard to sell me junk.

And that was probably his good stuff!

Man, if I was that guy I'd stop having kids so I could get an xbox 360 and some games.

There ya go!

I think there is some confusion... I'd treat my kids like that from the perspective of giving them a place to live, but letting them determine how good/bad it is.

I wouldn't treat them like that from the perspective of living in filth with broken floors and a new plasma.

I feel the pain. I love paying my bills and my daughters moms lol.

most people support one household on two incomes. doing the opposite is no fun.

If you have too many you'll never get a chance to play and one of them lil evil seeds will most likely break it.

i feel like those kids spend most of their time unsupervised anyway. and if they break one, more tax dollars will be along shortly to replace it. no biggie.
