Is it normal condom malfunction (bad kid/parents)

Lol @ "condom malfunction"

I like kids but I hate bad parenting. Those people shouldn't be parents if they're too lazy to discipline their child. Or maybe they think discipline is abuse, which isn't true.

There is no excuse for lazy parenting!!

Perhaps they were hoping the wee b@stard would get hurt so they could claim compensation!

You should be allowed to say to the parents, "In the interests of health and safety, get your child down!"

I had a neighbour when I first moved here who for 4-5 months put one year old child outside and let it cry all day. Now I mean cry!! I live beside railway tracks and I almost broke my arm running down my stairs to 'save' this child I thought was hurt on the tracks! This child honestly cried sore as if it had been stung by a wasp / bee and still she never bothered.

Anyway some workmen whispered to me that they couldn't get a thing done coz of that child crying all day. I shouted over the fence that I'd phone child services if she continued to neglect that child.

The bitch moved out within 2 weeks. She moved to a farm where no-one can hear the child. Her rich husband was going to leave her so she got pregnant again - she should've been sterilised instead!!

'condom malfunction'
That made me laugh! xD

As for the question, I see people like this all the time - it seems like discipline has gone out of the window for some people. And yes, I feel like aiming a 'ninja kick' at the child and parents...

(Oh and I loathe children too, which sucks, as my mother is a childminder -.-)

I was once sat on this bench in a town centre and this little boy (maybe about 3 or 4) was crying well loud, the mum threw like this blanket thing from the pram into his face and it knocked him over and it looked like he twisted his arm when he hit the floor, he crys even louder and holds his hurt arm up saying mummy mummy, the mum grabs his arm and just started dragging him around on the spot. People around me were gasping and just out of nowhere i started laughing really hard out loud, everyone looked at me, even the mother. I wasn't laughing at the boy being hurt but at the fact that all these people around me were shocked yet no one tried to stop her from what can only be described as child abuse, i didn't say anything myself because i couldn't care less about her or the child, she could of killed it and I wouldn't have lifted a finger to stop her. People think that if a child cries then they either have to give it what it wants or shout at it, the best option would be to completely ignore it and then the child would become a lot more independant faster.

I can see your frustration,as I do think his behavior was probably very over the top, I suppose to some extent though children will be children, but to refer to an innocent child as a condom malfunction is rather insensitive. We where all children once. I would never call someone else's child though as I would not have someone calling my child. I am aware that my child has her faults of course she does. She's a human being! I can point them out but I'd never let someone else do it!
It's not my duty either to question other people's style of parenting even though it differs completly to my own, but personally I think a lot of discepline here would not have gone a miss because if the little boy has no boundries then how is he expected to know right from wrong. Reguarding discaplin though some times parents feel like they can't win because if you do reprimand a child you often get do gooders looking and tutting as if to say "look at the way she's shouting at that child, how cruel. If they're not discaplined however you get people looking at you almost as if to say I know what I'd do with that child if it were mine. x

Kids are a handful. I'm sure that there was a time when those parents tried to teach their kid manners but realized it was pointless, thus they let the child be a pain to others. Although, that doesn't mean that the child isn't to blame. I'm merely stating that you should sympathize with the parents. Children really are a pain though.
