Man I'm getting sick of this.
So many times have I seen parents bring their kids into the ER for a little bump on their head or a cough, sore throat, sniffles...blah...blah...fucking blah!
What the hell is wrong with people these days?
When I was growing up I RARELY saw the doctor, let alone paid a visit to the emergency room. I'll never forget one time I had a freakin' rock sling-shotted at my head. I had a god damn bump the size of a baseball on my forehead for a few hours. Sure, I cried for a little, and it did not feel all that great, but did my mom take me to the emergency room? NO. What did she do? She looked at my head, saw the huge bump, and had me hold a cold soda can on my head and told me to go play more I'll be fine. And was I? Yes, I was fine and guess what? I didn't need to go to the emergency room.
It's retarded the shit people come into the emergency room for. Oh my kid was running and then she fell and scraped her knee. So you come to the freakin emergency room? Jesus Christ, what is the matter with you? Ever hear of a band-aid? That's all you need. Clean it, then band-aid. See how it is tomorrow. Most likely they'll be fine. You don't need to go to an ER for a freakin cleaning and band-aid.
I don't know, maybe it's just how I was raised and how my parents were raised that makes me feel this way. People these days make the biggest deal out of the littlest problems and it just makes me wonder where the spines have everyone have gone.
Don't even get me started on head colds, or flu like symptom kids that come into the ER. Jesus Christ. I don't know how many times when I was growing up I still went to school on days when I had a high fever, runny nose, sneezing, bad coughs. I can't even tell you how many times I've done this. And if it got pretty bad I still didn't go to an ER I waited the god damn week to go see my family doctor/pediatrician. That's right. Mom I feel like crap I don't want to go to school. Too bad, we'll go see the doctor next week, for now suck it up, you'll be fine. And was I? I sure was. Yeah, it sucked for those few days before I could go see my doctor, but I was fine and didn't need to go to a freakin ER.
I don't know, I'm just venting.
I'm not a parent, so I have no right to tell someone how to parent their child.
But for the love of god, find where your spine is and quit being a pussy.
Otherwise your kid is going to be a pussy, and their kid will, and their kid, etc, etc.
Oh and don't be afraid to smack your kid upside the head if he/she is acting obnoxious. It'll teach 'em to act like a little RE-RE.
