For Adults Only... A rant




OK can someone PLEASE shed some light on this subject for me? I have been thinking for the past 2 days about what topic I want to write on tonight, and this has to be it..


WHY in heavens name do parents bring children to Las Vegas??? Not school aged children, I guess you can always bring them to Circus Circus and the Riveria and let them play in the arcade and Adventuredome, but INFANTS!! Little babies who only want to stay warm, and sleep and play a little and eat... Little children who need to STAY HOME with grandparents if mom and dad must go to Las Vegas....


I have been people watching for 4 days and I have come to the conclusion that young parents nowadays are selfish. (now not all of them, but the ones who expose their children to Las Vegas vacations). I am sorry if I offend anyone, but babies and toddlers really DONT want to listen to the slot machines, and they dont want to be in 35mph 60 degree wind (it was not the greatest weather today and yesterday) and they dont want to inhale CIGARETTE SMOKE from the casinos, or be off of their schedules (IF they have schedules)! All in all, the majority of the little ones that I saw were crying, or whining and making everyone around them miserable.


School aged kids can handle it, even the younger ones, they seem to adjust, ask lots of questions (mommy why does that lady have her boobies hanging out of her shirt?) or (mommy what are those playing cards with naked ladies on them sticking in the fence?) or a plethora of other questions which are no doubt embarassing to mommy.... but they can at least understand, or attempt to understand that they cannot stand in the casino and watch the circus acts upstairs. (now if someone could just convince mom and dad that the kiddos cant stand in the casino and watch the circus acts upstairs, it will be easier on everyone...)


This question will forever go unanswered I am sure. I have decided, like I said before, that the parents are just selfish. They dont want to stay at home with the babies, because mom and dad DO NOT WANT TO STAY HOME! We actually saw one couple with maybe a 5 or 6 month old infant, who already had Disneyworld tags and labels on the babies stroller and now they were in Vegas.....


And, while I am ranting.. If you have to sit on a scooter in order to get from point A to point B... DONT GO TO LAS VEGAS AND TRY TO RIDE A BUS!!!!


I need an Ativan. LMAO


see you all tomorrow.

ROFL..I'm going to steal that 1st pic too. You just always put the right pic for the occasion LOL

I totally agree with this. If they HAVE to go to Vegas...kids stay home. Otherwise, do like the rest of us and WAIT till they are older.

I have a problem with parents who take their kids out ALL day with no nap and then yell at them when they are hungry and tired. ARGHHH!

Supposed to suffer and sacrifice as a parent. That's part of it! Duh.

Just take alook the next time you go shopping on the weekend. The ailes are full of scooters in the middle so that you can't get by. If these people care unable to walk, then chances are pretty good they are not working. What do they do all week while we are at work? Watching soap operas? They wait until those of us that are stuck working and trying to get some groceries and rushing home to start laundry and cleaning before we go back to work on Monday and they are in the middle of the aile on their scooters. Don't get me wrong. They have a RIGHT to go shopping but does it have to be at a time when the store is full of people trying to spend as short of time there at they have to? They have all day and week!!! Small children and babies do not belong at the beauty shop either.

LOLOL is it no wonder that people cringe when my sister and I get on a rant in public??? LOL I totally agree with the scooter thing.

What bothers me most is that most of the people on scooters are HUGE!! it is a slap to the face of fat people everywhere. LOL

Oh dont get me started on babies riding on airplanes...

have a good day y'all!
