What ever happened to responsibility?
\nMaybe it was how I was raised, or possibly I’m just being overly simplistic, but IMHO I think we should be considered (with certain exceptions) responsible for our own actions….and in the case of minors, the PARENT<\/u> is responsible for the child and what they allow that child to do.
\nI had a conversation with a co-worker the other morning, that in a way relates to this. We were discussing a mutual acquaintance and couldn’t believe he had quit his job with the state, it was in the field his degree was in, great money and benefits, not to mention he’s 25 and married with 2 kids. Oh, did I mention he also lives with his grandpa on property that belongs to his family? So basically his only real bill is his car payment. This amazes me on so many levels, mainly due to being on my own since 17 and never liking to feel I “owed” anyone for anything…but I’m getting off track here a bit…
\nFast Forward to last night, I get to work and find out that 2 mothers have been calling up there looking for their daughters, who it seems have been spending time with several members of a work crew that have been staying with us. These girls are 17, which I realize in some states is legal, however we’re not one of them. Then I found out that apparently 2 other<\/i> girls have also been doing the same (all 4 are related) these other to are 14<\/i> and 15<\/i>!!!
\nNow I’m not trying to excuse what these men may or may not have been doing with said teenagers (personally I don’t get what grown men could see in such young girls) however, what i want to know is where the HELL<\/b> are their parents in all this??? Do you not know what your child is doing or where they are when they leave the house? And when you do get your head out of the sand don’t<\/u> call someone else and go on about it like it’s their fault, we don’t get paid to be your babysitter up here, that’s your<\/u> job!!
\nSorry for this rant folks, but to top all this off is, apparently after this daughter got home, the mother had her call up here and ask for one of the guys rooms, so we transfered her, she (the mother) called back up and blasted my co-worker (who was still here) and said “I don’t want you to transfer my daughter to his room anymore.”
\nSorry lady, we don’t screen our guests phone calls, I suggest if you don’t want her talking to him, pull the plug on her!<\/b>
\nIt is your house, and you are the one responsible for her…arn’t you? :angry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
