Oblivious Much?

Mom gives 4 year old $ for peanut M&M machine at the dance studio waiting room. Mom watches daughter let M&Ms spill onto the floor. Mom ignores the M&Ms on the floor and ushers children toward the studio entrance while ignoring daughter as she stomps purposely (I know it was on purpose because she looked down and made sure she got every one on the way in) on the splilled M&Ms.

I watch this unfold and can't prevent myself from saying "that was uncalled for". Mom turns with wide eyes and asks, "did my child do that?" I point out the offender, not knowing which of the darlings is her child(ren) (she brought in 3 girls with her). Mom says nothing to child, does nothing to clean up the mess.

Grrrrr, the world is not your trash can......teach your children to pick up their messes!!!!!

The sad thing is I watched a different mom let a child leave spilled M&Ms all over the floor on Monday night. I guess I won't be shocked next time.

It drives me crazy to see people that let their kids make messes, then don;t clean it up or make them clean it up. Do these people think it's someone else's job to clean up after them?

Unfortunately, many people DO think the world is their trash can. We just had some people move in the bottom floor of our apartment. They're smokers and since they don't have a balcony they sit right out front (along with their 15 friends who are always here). Every day I go out there and pick up their cigarette wrappers, butts (even though there is a butt bucket right there), McDonalds cups, and other trash. It's sad, really.
