The worst mother I've ever seen

[Snakebite64]

My worst parent experience was with a woman who's sun need to go to the washroom. She came up to ask me where the washrooms where and the conversation went like this.

SP- Sucky Parent
Me-me

Sp- Where are the washrooms.

Me- Downstairs

Sp -My kid can't make it that far

Me- They're the only washrooms

Sp - Do you have a bottle or something

Me- Why?

Sp- So he can go trucker style.

Me- No...We don't allow our customers to do that.

Sp-He'll just go in the corner.

Me- No you could just hurry downstairs he doesn't seem that bad.

Sp- Yeah but i don't want to.

Me-Um... well you can't pee on the salesfloor

Sp-Who's gunna stop me?

Me-Security

So she walked away in no hurry or in anyway towards downstairs so I don't know what happened because we didn't actually have anyone to watch her.

while working as a stateroom steward we had this couple that I wanted to throw off the stern and into the propellers.
When you work for a line that offers "affordable" cruises, you learn how to spot the ones that have money and the ones that are just trying to look like they have money, these were the trying-to types. it was sunday morning and the steward I had been training under had things handled in our section, so I went down the hall asking others if they needed a hand with anything, then I got to my roommate's section (I hated this guy to begin with, then he winds up working the same deck as me and I had to clean up after him every sunday). He's waiting on this one room to clear out, and he warns me they're crazy, but it's embarkation and we need to move, so I knock and hear a "come in", I now wish I hadn't; the way the rooms are set up there's two twin-sized metal platforms that the matresses sit in and if you want a double bed then we join the two with fasteners in the middle of the room, this room had bunk beds, those fold up into the wall and get folded down during turndown service, they had refused turndown all week and "just wanted towels and ice" during the day....
I entered the room to find a 350lb woman sprawled out on the bed with her shoulders propped up on the pillows, she had an infant next to her and her 2 other children, a boy and a girl, were running around the room, hanging from the bunks like monkeys, stuffing chocolate into their mouths and getting half of it on their face, jumping from the bunk onto the main bed.
she told me they'd be out within a half hour, 45 min later they left and her husband came out on his cell phone and nearly knocked me over, the kids were jumping, yelling, and screaming, and she was, of course, on her phone talking to someone about the pyramid scheme she was part of.
I went in to turn the room over, and there was chocolate, crackers, and hard candy embedded in the sheets of the bunk beds as well as stashed all over the place, a fould smell we couldn't quite place, shoeprints on the wall, and lava dust on the end table in a few small clumps yup, they were stupid enough to take lava rocks from mt kiloaia, superstitious or not, I hope pele gave them what they deserved

IMO she should be neutered.

Sigh. Reminds me of one of my favorite scenes in Transmetropolitan: Year of the Bastard. Lovely bit, fodder for plenty of revenge fantasies:

(grabbing obnoxious person by throat while drawing a gun)

I told you I wasn't in the mood. Now I'm going to castrate you and suffocate you with your own {genitals} you poisonous little thug. Because I have had more than enough of your squalid, ignorant weasel kind, and you will breed no more...

I lurve Spider, that dirty little bastard.

Worst mother ever:

Came into the supermarket at 9:50pm, with 2 year old in tow and heavily pregnant. She was only about 14 years old; she tried to buy a bottle of vodka at my till; needless to say I refused to serve her. She also hit her toddler when he whined, probably due to being tired. Now that mother should be spayed.

[Pagan]

Lo and behold, a few minutes later he falls, head first, onto the hard floor. I heard the sound, and I don't want to hear it again....She looked down at him and barked, "Will you shut the **** up!" Then she looked at me and very matter-of-factly said, "He's such a little attention-slut."

Apparently she either doesn't know or care that that could kill him! He's not looking for attention, he's got a brain injury!

Of course, this wouldn't happen if she fell on her head. For that you need a brain first!

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

And if some psychopath were to snatch the baby and the three-year-old while Mommie Dearest is dealing with the two-year-old, of course it would be the store's fault that her "pwecious little angels" got kidnapped and maybe even killed.

[cpux]

I tell ya, I don't know a darn thing about parenting, but I do know that "mother" could have at least postponed that oh-so-important phone conversation to focus her attention on her kids.

[Becks]

Wow, that's just sad. mybe DYFS should be called I mean she ababndoned, though momentarily her baby, in a dangerous spot and NEVER got off the phone.

Has DYFS improved lately? Wouldn't want to call them to have them brush off a problem, just to have the family in the news months later because the child died...

Then she looked at me and very matter-of-factly said, "He's such a little attention-slut."

What, does the poor boy have to get splattered by a TRAIN before she cares???

[Discourtesy Clerk]

...Lo and behold, a few minutes later he falls, head first, onto the hard floor. I heard the sound, and I don't want to hear it again. Did Mommy Dearest rush to his aid? Did she threaten to sue us for hurting her precious little boy? Did she in any way acknowledge the fact that her toddler was very possibly concussed? Not a bit. He laid there and screamed until I said, "Ma'am, is he ok? Would you like me to get a cold compress?" (Mind you my main concern was not getting sued, but at least I was trying to help the kid!) She looked down at him and barked, "Will you shut the **** up!" Then she looked at me and very matter-of-factly said, "He's such a little attention-slut." I didn't know what to say, so I just fixed her phone and gave it back. She hoisted the kid up on one gargantuan hip, took her phone, and walked out saying, "I guess I better get the little bastard home or he'll just whine all day. I was gonna go shopping, but I guess not."

Attention-slut? He's two years old, you dumb sack of crap. Don't most parents come running at top speed when they hear their kid cry?

I'd bet she's one of those "stuck" mothers, too stupid to avoid getting pregnant by different men, and also too stupid to realise that it's better to put the kid up for adoption than keep them and not want them...I'd hate to see how messed up that kid's gonna be in another 10 years.

Working in retail is one of the main reasons I have no plans to have children of my own. The spoiled brats and sucky parents I encounter every day helped sour the thought for me.

I am never having kids either, due to my time in retail.

The stupid, worthless people of the world are breeding like cockroaches, churning out self-centered brat after brat. The good, sensible people of the world, the ones who would make decent parents, see these idiot families and are forever turned off of the idea of parenthood, and the good, sensible children never come into existence.

And the cycle continues, and the human species continues to spiral downward...

[CanadaGirl]

Not to deviate too far from the main topic, but I was on the bus yesterday going to Ikea and I saw a pregnant woman smoking on the street. Yeaaah. She was pretty icky looking and skinny, probably from drug use or not eating, so it was hard to tell how many months pregnant she was. Probably 4 or 5 months along. Ugh.

[Jester]

When I was doing magic at a street fair in Kentucky on my vacation--and there's a phrase that has probably never before been uttered in the history of the English language!--I saw some very stereotypical "country folk"*, including this one couple...skinny, weaselly looking guy with a ferret mustache, and larger, very pregnant girl in tank top, smoking a cigarette, with her pack of Marlboros in hand, ready to go when needed. It was just as if Hollywood had scripted it for me! America...your future awaits....and it doesn't look so promising.

*DISCLAIMER SO THE RESIDENT REDNECK POPULATION DOESN'T BEAT ME UP AFTER SCHOOL: I am not saying anything bad about the folks in that little town in Kentucky. Man of them were very nice, many were very intelligent, many were both and then some. But there were some SERIOUSLY bad stereotypes wandering around there, too.

[LostMyMind]

:chases after Jester with a 4x4, yelling what is a disclaimer:

P.S. I'm joking folks

I think that can be said of every small town. My grandmother's town is like that. Most of the people there do not exhibit characteristics of the typical redneck. They don't live in shacks. They don't have 52 cars in their front yards. They aren't married to their sisters or cousins. (Most of that goes on a few miles south of the PA border ) However, there are also a few people who *do* live like that....and can't figure out why the rest of us try to avoid them.
