This is going to be a different kind of post for
me. Not a question, but a rant. >sorry ahead of time<

My summer job is running the children's program
at the library. I've gotten to know the kids well
and they tell me everything especially that no one
ever reads to them or talks to them. One little guy's
'mother' even forgot all about him and we had to take
him home.These kids are not getting the love they need.
I convinced my boss to start having snacktime when I
realized how hungry some of them were. Dang! Doritos
and Pepsi is NOT a good supper.

My Point? You have to have a license to drive, even
to catch a damn fish but kids are just brought into
the world and left to struggle on their own. No
wonder we are so socially needy. I mean, that woman
left her two little kids in the hot car, windows
shut,to get her hair done. Two hours later.....

When did kids stop being important? I know that
everyone on the board with children nutures and loves
them. I can always feel that love when you talk about
them; but sadly, you are in the minority. If I'm
lucky enough to have kids of my own, I'm going to
make sure they never feel unloved or unwanted. Not
buying them 'things' but giving them my time.The
wealthiest kid in the world is the one who has been
given his parent's time. One of my most wonderful
memories is just walking with my grandpa, not saying
much but just walking along, knowing I could say
anything I wanted and he'd really listen.

So many of the things I see kids doing today is just
a desperate bid for attention,begging for someone
to help them, to give them structure...limits....and
a bit of their time.
