i completely agree!!! as a teacher, i watch many parents in horror!!! i am working at the pool...and honestly, sometimes it is like watching a train wreck. one of the regulars is the most permissive parent i think i have ever seen. the little boy runs around like a wild man. he has even tried to go through my bag!! he always has squirt guns and one day he kept squirting people in the face which is against the rules, so his mom threw them in the trash!!!! the next day, he came in with 3 brand new squirt guns! yeah, that really taught him something!
any my biggest pet peeve is parents who don't follow through with threats. this other parent was trying to make her son give her something...."that doesn't belong in the pool. give it to me. i said give it to me...i am going to count to three...1....2...3...i told you to give that to me. that is it. i am going to count to three...1...2...3. ok, we are going home if you don't give that to me before i count to three." this went on for 10 minutes!!!! she actually took him out of the pool and started packing their things. he handed over the toy...and she said, "ok. you can get back in the pool, but if you ever don't listen again, we are going home." YEAH....as if this little kid didn't know she was full of balogna!!!!
