A couple of quotes from Monet Parham-Lee the dolt suing McDonalds, before I systematically crucify the shining example of parental irresponsibility.
“We have to say no to our kids so many times and McDonald's makes that so much harder to do. I object to the fact that McDonald's is getting into my kids' heads without my permission and actually changing what my kids want to eat.”
“You can only say no so many times.”
Let’s talk about parental responsibility first. If you are so wimpy and useless to your children that you are unable to say no infinitely for many many years, than you should probably sign your kids up for some therapy post adolescence. They will likely grow up to be overweight, addicted to drugs, heartless sex hounds, complete narcissists, and maybe even serial killers with mommy issues…. You see as mommies and daddy’s we are REQUIRED to set boundaries for our children even when they don’t like it. Instead of blaming the toys, maybe you might look at not allowing your six year old to watch 7 hours of TV per night.
I will level with you that I am absolutely addicted to cigarettes, though I no longer smoke. I also submit to you that when I eat “Wingin it” Chicken wings I am brought to a level of euphoria that rivals an orgasm on hard and high doses of Xtasy… Perhaps instead of exercising some self control I should eat chicken wings every day, smoke 40 cigarettes , and then sue both Philip Morris and “Wingin It” for making their product appealing to me and turning me into an emphysema riddled sea cow … After all it’s not my fault. Right?
Maybe while we are at it we can eliminate other products, Count Chocula, Twinkies, Oreo Cookies, Candy of All Kinds, etc. I mean I can only say no so many times to my 3 year old when I am walking through the grocery store. Let’s sue the grocery store! People should eat only tofu and carrots! It is corporate irresponsibility that makes us the fattest country in the world since the Roman Empire, certainly not our personal choices or incredible gluttony! Yay for the buck passing game!
Let me summarize. Learn to control what your children have access to. TV, Fast Food, and Candy should be consumed by all children, but as a treat and not the daily norm. If you can’t say no to children, then don’t have them. Quit making my kids (who like toys in their kid’s meals) pay for your stupidity, and staggering irresponsibility.
To Address Quote #1: Ms. Parham, you gave them permission when you turned on your television and did not supervise what your children were watching. You are PERSONALLY responsible for your children. If you can’t handle that call Angelina Jolie, she loves adopting kids.
To Address Quote #2: Someone should flog you to death with a yard stick until you understand how to discipline. Try putting them in time out when they are annoying….works for me and the rest of responsible parents who have real jobs and no time for law suits.
