    People on drugs. I'm cool with you if you do it on your own without kids. I'm alright with it if you do it occassionly if your not the only one watching your kids. I'm not cool with it if you put your habit in front of you child. Not only do I mean that litterly, I also mean it like this...You buy your stuff, then you buy the stuff your kid needs. Even if you go buy diapers & grocerys & think you have what you'll need, then go spend the rest on drugs. Cause maybe the kid will get sick & need more diapers then expected, or you'll get high & eat everything & not have enough.

    Or maybe you don't realize you do to many drugs. My parents thought everything was fine my whole life. Even though they don't rember anything. Seriously, one day my dad looked at me & ask when the heck did I grow up. Like he really wanted to know. He rembers me being a baby, & then nothing. Same goes for my mom. But me and my brother rember it all. He rembers thinking I was his mom until he was six, because I'm the one that took care of him & did everything. I rember being the only responsible adult in that house, even though I was a child. I also rember moveing out when I was 15 & staying with friends & working my *** off & saveing every cent I got so I could save up enough money to get my own place & move my brother in with me. (which never happened by the way, Cause someone stole $1,800 dollars off me. $200 dollars short of what I needed. And anytime I saved up anything above $200 after that it got stolen no matter where I hid it. And I couldn't open a bank account on my own. my parents had done always cleaned out a joint account I had for my newspaper money, so no sense putting anything there.) From the time my brother was born (I was 5 at the time) I hid everysingle penny I got. I had to use my stash to on more then one occasion to buy him a cheeseburger, or if I had enough go buy a loaf of bread & some penut butter.Just so he could eat something. If there was enough I would eat too.

    Thats not the whole story, but I can't write anymore right now. I don't wanna bore you.

    But thats what kind of people I think make the worst parents. Cause they make it real hard on the kid to have a normal life. at age 5 or 23!!! Cause I still stuggle with that ****, & so does my brother. At least now he's finally stoped crying when I leave. But my parents don't see this. They think we had a perfect life or something. And its not even like they were on "hard" drugs. Just weed.I know that thats all. Didn't think weed was that bad huh???

    Source(s): EXPERENCE!!! BTW~I'm not a drug hater. just don't be a drug addict. And put your kids lifes in front of yours, no matter what!!!

    My girlfriend says...;

    People who don't teach their children;

    right from wrong,

    to respect their elders,

    no means no.

    Also parents need to give plenty of encouragement and praise for things that are well done. Even to the simplest of saying please and thank you. If children don't receive the praise they will begin to do "naughty" things to get a reaction from the parents.

    Once the children know they can have plenty of attention for good things and are just put on a naughty step and ignored (1 minute for every year of their life, i.e. 1 year old 1 minute, 5 years old 5 minutes, no more or less) and then told why they were there and how the situation should have been handled children will grow up to be respectful to those around them.

    The worst parents are weak parents who want an easy life and let the children control all situations.

    Just my views of course. Studying childcare did help me develop my views and 5 years experience proves the methods I use work in situations I am in. I am a nanny now and the parents seem pleased with how I deal with situations.

    However saying all this it can be difficult for a working parent (even the parents that are what some call "house-wife") with much more to do than just look after the basic needs of the children that I do. Parents who also go to work, or who also do the cleaning and cooking and so on.

    CHAVS!!

    Especially when you've got a group of 2 or more teenagers pushing their babies (who are dressed in fake Burberry) and have one or two other kids hanging on to the pram or lagging behind.

    Coz it takes all my self control not to say something to them when they are telling their kids to.....

    "F***ing shut up or I'll chin ya"

    "Come eya ya little b***ard"

    They scream at their kids and cannot understand it when the kids either scream back or run away from them.

    I also see these kids playing out after 9pm on main roads and am astonished.

    I think teenagers should be compulsorily sent to some kind of Brat Camp during the school holidays before they leave school, so that they can learn about what life is really like in the real world.

    These poor kids have come from second and third generations who have treated THEM like this, so they don't really stand a chance. No-one has ever believed in them or made them feel worthy - if they had they wouldn't be sleeping around at such a young age looking for affection/love/recognition and they would know that the world is their oyster.

    Sorry if I went on a bit... but you did ask!!

    I think it is the people that don't put there child first...

    People that wont and don't go out of there way to make sure there child/ children are provided for.. and i mean more than just good food.. i mean a safe and clean home, activites for there children, asking for help when its needed. Entering into a good school.

    Things that to me see so common sence but others don't see it.

    i've got faith that what makes a individual a "undesirable" determine isn't in step with how they grew to become a determine (meaning: organic and organic, adoptive, or foster) yet extremely on how they "determine" the baby. For me, a "undesirable" determine might nicely be one among a number of reasons in case you think of approximately it. it ought to be a determine who abuses or neglects a baby; it ought to be a determine who would not prepare a baby top from incorrect; it ought to be a determine who neglects the baby; it ought to be a determine who places unfair expectancies on a baby; etc etc. the certainty is that undesirable parenting isn't based on the way you grew to become a determine. Heck, all of us make undesirable parenting judgements as parents at one time or yet another. despite the fact that if it extremely is whilst it extremely is on the continued rate of the baby that reasons irreparable injury in some way, that somebody (every physique) might nicely be seen a foul determine.

    Most people who did not want kids and then had an accident and thought that they needed to keep the kids.

    Self centered people - with children you need to be continually concerned about the welfare of your child. You should not be absorbed in your own life and what is happening to you

    To be honest with you..DRUG ADDICTS!!!! People that are hooked on drugs, don't give a f*ck about their kids, just their habits. Alot of children in drug addicted homes are abused, neglected, and often forgotten about. There have been stories about drug addicted parents often prostituting their young daughters to feed their habits. Sometimes even letting their dealers rape their kids in exchange for drugs!!! ( I learned this from a young girl in rehab whose mother did this to her.) Then the parents force their children to take the drugs to keep them quiet.

    I believe that any person whom abuses a sustance like drugs or alcohol make lousy parents. They are usually abusive and their kids are neglected. Also alot of the times, mothers who are drug users or alcoholics have drug affected babies, or children with FAS ( Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.) I guess it just shows that these people have found a way to abuse their kids while still in the womb!!! These children whom are born with these PREVENTABLE defects are barely ever able to live normal lives because it has effected their brains, and are usually moderately - severly challenged.

    parents that dont consider that there are other children in the world and those that think their kids are perfect. its a false expectation we dont know what our kids are gonna be when they grow up we can only try to raise them right and pray that they make good decisions about life.

    The parents that don't teach their children manners and values in life, then blame the society for their child action.
