Anyone Else Find This Simply Awful?

[Lyss]

I had a toddler terrified of grass once.

I imagine his home life was extremely similar.

I have one of these right now. Makes me sad!

Every time DCD picks up DCG runs all over looking for the remote to our tv (pointing at tv and asking "mote?" "mote?") no hugs for DCD or hi even, she's on a mission to find that remote! She's found it twice and both times as soon as she finds it she runs it straight to dad and wants it on.

I have one that came here afraid of the wind blowing the grass, woodchips, a seesaw, a jungle gym, a playground structure with stairs, a butterfly, trees moving in the wind, etc. etc. etc. I can't even remember everything the child was fearful of when he came. It took a lot of patience to work this child through their fear of everything outdoors.

What's sad to me is how he speaks of extreme cable, movies, internet, etc as if they are absolute necessities for life.

"I remember what life was like when we had basic cable" - maybe you still had a wife, you related to your kids about something other than tv...normal stuff

Also how he says he hates talking on the phone - and how he "had" to hole himself up in his office to watch his shows because the kids dominated the tv...this guy is sad.

And thanks daycarediva for posting it for me lovethis

EEK and ECS- DOUBLE EEK! I thought my diva dcg who hates outside was bad. At least she isn't AFRAID of it.

I find it soooo sad where the values of this country has gone in such a short time. It used to be priority for kids to be raised by family. For kids to PLAY. For families to spend time together, to eat home cooked meals, for parents to be involved with their children, hands on and active participants in their lives, for them to be DISCIPLINED.

My grandmother refuses to watch tv because she said she can't stand to see what people do to their children. I asked "What do you mean?" She said "toddlers and tiaras." need she say more?

How on earth is a bill $400!?! We have super fast internet and the whole shebang and I pitch a fit cuz it's $100! If I didn't have to have a home phone I would cut it down to just net.

I think it's super sad to see kids that only watch tv. If I get a kiddo in care like that we have no tv boot camp where basically they get to play outside, play outside, or play outside

I have a 2.5 yr old dcb I constantly have to tell Go Play all the time because he will sit on the couch and point to the tv and say Bob. When i asked his parents about it I was told that they have netflix so whenever he wants to watch Spongebob he points and says Bob. I do not allow Spongebob on in my house. The older sister recently told me that they just got a new wii for the mom and dads bedroom tv so she can watch whatever she wants on netflix (shes 5) and the 2.5 yr old can still watch what he wants on the livingroom tv.

"With great power comes a hefty price tag. How much does this lifestyle run me each month? My Xfinity bill from Comcast averages around $440."

With great stupidity comes exorbitant bills! With 3 children under the age of 3, there's a reason he's single again! I hope he wakes up soon and becomes a Dad.

Life is full of choices. Make wise ones.
