TwinkiesMom - > I'm Just Saying... -> Who is the adult?
Who is the adult?

I just had to laugh at a story I saw under "Weird News"  on CNN's Web site

Moms Allegedly Brawl at Chuck E. Cheese

A child's birthday party at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant was cut short after a fight broke out between two mothers. Natick police said the mom of the 9-year-old birthday boy apparently became enraged because the other woman's son was "hogging" an arcade game.

Sgt. Paul Thompson said Catherine Aliaga, 38, and Tarsha Williams, 33, both of Boston, would be summoned into court to answer charges of simple assault and battery stemming from the scuffle.

I mean, really...Who is the adult here? What happened to common courtesy and decency?! Great example to set for your children.

On another note, and then I will end my rant, I was also reading today that Billy Ray Cyrus' goal as a parent is to be his daughter Miley's best friend. I'm sorry, but isn't what she really needs a PARENT!!  Especially since she seems to be the next up and coming star, (a la Lindsey Lohan) that girl needs a parent to guide her and keep her from a lot of the trappings of fame. Whatever, dude.

Rant over. Anyone care to weigh in?

Unfortunately it's not the first time I've heard of parents "brawling" over something meaningless. I've heard stories about children playing sports (recreational sports mind you) where the parents get into it with the other parents.  Too bad, what a bad example to set.

I'm so glad other people are annoyed by Billy Ray Cyrus. I know that it is unwise to judge people you don't know, but I've watched interviews with him and his daughter. The amount of freedom they seem to give her worries me. Have they learned nothing from Britney?!?

I am always amazed and horrified at how parents can act. This year a parent at my school threatened to kick the a** of a student (her words). I couldn't believe it. In fact, I wouldn't have had I not seen it. The reason for the threat: my student broke up with her son. That was it. Horrible.

I once heard a comic say "Your one job as the father of a daughter is to keep the booty off the pole!" It made me laugh (even if I don't agree).

I must say, I'm not surprised that the moms got into it. People can be shockingly rude and freaky! Then again, I am not in the best of moods today and all the strangers I've come into contact with are rude and irksome. :(
