Annoy Your Kids: The First & Last Episode

Above is a vid a made a few weeks back.  I originally wanted to record this show weekly, but I decided I was too annoyed to be bothered with it, haha.  Laziness: 8, 993, 421 points; Me: 66.

I’m thinking about coming up with another web show idea, but not exactly sure of what yet.  Nothing that’s Annoy Your Kids, I promise!

Sugar + Kids = Bad…Duh?

I thought even new mothers  would have the knowledge of  NOT giving little kids, let alone babies candy.  Yes, even babies…sugar babies.   I don’t expect every parent to have the same nutritional guidelines and rules I do, but c’mon.  Common sense should tell you that kids and unlimited sugar don’t mix.

I give my kids restricted servings, only allowing them to “binge” on holidays or special occasions; even then I don’t let them get too carried away. Due to this method of sugar control, they don’t get in a tizzy when I tell them “No.” to having sweets whenever they ask.  Sure they might become slightly distraught and/or disappointed, but I talk to them about the importance of having a good diet and the effects of  an excess of sugar in their diet.  You have to educate the youth about the importance of a healthy and balanced diet, and stress the importance of proper dental care.

They’ve both been trained to hand over any candy given to them to me.  For example, my daughter usually gets a lollipop from her dance teacher after class.  As soon as she gets out of her dance class, she gives me the lollipop without any fuss or asking if she can have it later.  She already knows the answer to that question.

It’s not even just candy I see people feeding their little monsters.  Soda and coffee are culprits too.  Again, I thought it was common sense not to give small children and babies this stuff, but I guess some people are careless or just downright ignorant.   I was shocked when I witnessed one of my friends giving her God son and nephew, who are both toddlers, pieces of candy-this occurred around eight o’clock in the morning!  It made me internally ill, but I brushed it off and didn’t give her a tongue lashing like I wanted to.  I try to choose my battles.

Last Saturday as I waited for my daughter to finish her dance class, I saw a little boy no more than four years old sipping on a bottle of Pepsi.  All I could think was “Wtf is wrong with his mother?” It was 10:30am.  Why oh why would you give your brat soda for breakfast?! Children have enough natural energy; no need to increase it.   It boggles my banana scented mind.

We as parents and care givers must be more knowledgeable about what we’re doing to our kids.  Sugar causes weight gain more than fatty foods.  Sugar also causes health related illnesses, like diabetes and obesity.  Don’t believe me?  Ask Dr. Bowden.

I wouldn’t ignore these facts if I were you.

I also wouldn’t play Russian roulette with my own child’s health.  Having an unhealthy child is something I’d never gamble on.

Baby Daddies & Mommas

Where do I even start with this topic?  For a long time many children have been born out of wedlock.  I don’t have a problem with that.  I do have a problem with people who have multiple baby mommas or daddies.  Not only is it a pox on society, but it interrupts the structure of family.  When someone has multiple siblings that don’t share the same parents, how do you think that makes them feel?  What kind of example are you setting for your child by producing offspring that don’t all share the same parents? I can understand having two kids and two different mothers/fathers, but more than that and you’re headed for trouble and lots of people wondering if you will ever find that mind you lost.  It’s not about what other people think, but it is about being responsible, displaying proper family structures, and not abusing your power to reproduce.  Just because you can have ten kids with ten different woman/men, should you?  Don’t have litters, have sense.

I don’t care if you have Oprah money, having a bunch of kids, let alone having a bunch of kids with different partners is reckless.  No child should think it’s okay to have three siblings, all having different mothers and the same father.  I understand shit happens and all, but I myself wouldn’t want to deal with dating someone who’s created that sort of situation for themselves.  Oh, the drama!

People like P. Diddy (who I can’t stand), Lil’ Wayne, and Albert II make me sick.  Just because you have fame and money doesn’t mean you should sling your sperm around like a hose at a wet t-shirt contest!  It’s even worse when these folks don’t even marry AT LEAST one of the people they pro-created with.  Smdh.  Erykah Badu and Elizabeth Taylor (yes, THAT one) are guilty too, even though Liz did have a ring on it before she popped all her kiddos out.  Still, my point is, let’s keep the half-sibling thing to a minimum.

Can we do that for our children’s sakes?  The shit is embarrassing.

Wii Will Rock You

 

After years of patiently waiting and hoping, my children and I are now apart of the Wii universe.  My mom bought the 25th Anniversary Limited Edition Wii package for Xmas, which includes a red Wii console, red Wii Remote Plus controller, red Nuchuck controller, Wii Sports game, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii game. Owning only one controller would cause bloodshed, so I purchased the pink Wii Remote Plus and my mother purchased one blue and one black remote;  the fourth remote is for when she decides to join  in on the action.

The three of us (my spawn and I) played nearly non-stop for three days in a row, until I took myself out of the game arena due to multiple injuries: two sore arms caused from playing the Wii Sports game.  Who knew virtual bowling, tennis, golf, and baseball would take so much out of one person?  The kids continued without me, but since their Winter break from school is over, I have restricted Wii play for the weekends and holidays only.

Having the Wii has made me realize once again that games bring out a weakness in us that we may harbor.  When you play in a group setting, it’s different from playing alone because there is more energy circulating, the excitement, the competitive edge, the joy and pain from being victorious and defeated.  I invited one of my friends over to play, and  didn’t realize how bad our gaming personae were until she jokingly complained about all the screaming-yes I  was screaming too, especially when I fell into lava or accidentally ran off of a cliff.  I screamed every damn time I lost a life while playing Super Mario.  I swear the kids were slowing me down!

It’s definitely a great way to spend time with family and friends when you have to stay indoors.  I recommend the Wii for everyone!  Oh yeah, and don’t forget to keep on the remote sleeves and tighten those wrist straps properly (unless you’re into killing Tvs) :)

 

American Birth Control

The world is filled with plenty of heartless psychotic souls and  mingy criminals, but let’s not forget the 100% pure dumbasses that constantly troll around, thinking that because they can have a million babies without financial stability they can and will.  People like this piss me off so badly, and I truly wish it was possible to gather all these fuck nuts onto one ship and send them to Antarctica (but then those poor penguins would have to deal with them, pfft).

Some people think I’m wrong for wanting the US to consider taking drastic measures with human birth control.  I just think we make such a big damn deal about cats and dogs spreading their young all over the place that we should take a step back and look at ourselves.  Forget “spay your cat”; spay your human!  Just because we’re at the top of the food chain doesn’t mean we have all the right ideas.  Case in point: this whole “green” movement.  It figures we want to take care of the Earth now that we’ve realized how serious the wounds are we’ve inflicted.  Good job corporate America!

Anyway, that’s a whole other subject altogether.  Let’s talk about my government regulated birth control.  Each man and woman should only be allowed two children each unless they meet specific income requirements, like making over forty thousand dollars a year after taxes.  Those who don’t qualify and are already on government assistance should have court ordered vasectomies or tubal ligation.  Someone told me “But that’s like communism!  You’re taking away people’s rights!”  Well guess what?  When you abuse your rights you should have them taken away from you, just like a convict does.

I believe there would be no need for or a huge decrease in abortions if this idea were taken into consideration.  Then people could stop crying about that issue too.

People who can’t afford children are one of the causes for the economic drain.  If some of these people didn’t have a house full of mouths to feed then the taxes you and I pay would go to those programs that are in need and deserving of more funding, like education and housing for low income families.  I have no problem with people who have food stamps and stuff, but as long as their productive and positively contributing to society by working and keeping their nose clean then it’s not a problem, because that’s what assistance is: help.   Help only those who will help themselves, because God knows I’ve been through the ringer and never planned on being a single parent, but shit happens and you have to use that manure of life and grow flowers; don’t just expect things to happen.  It should be a temporary, not a permanent way of life having to depend on the government to help you.  People who use it for life with no intentions of bettering themselves to get off it make me sick.  Seriously, I look at these folks and instantly become nauseous.   Again, I’m applying this to the deadbeat dads and airheaded mothers out there who just want a free ride in life with no intent of earning a damn thing but a handout.

In conclusion,  “if you can’t feed ‘em don’t breed ‘em”!
