Thread: OT, but HAVE to vent about some LOUSY Parents! | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
A few of you have written that perhaps someone could have paid for the syrup for the little girl? I'm just wondering, do you think that maybe something like that is, um, enabling the parents to not act responsibly towards the girl in the future? I mean, by paying for the syrup when the parents DID have the money but decided to buy beer instead, wouldn't that have sent a message to the parents that, "Hey...it's OK that I am paying because I know you are too poor to buy it for her? So go home and drink your 2 cases of beer and while you're getting drunk...have no fear cuz some stranger will always be there to take care of your child?" I don't know if that came out quite the way I meant it to? Perhaps just getting their license plate number would have been the best way to go. I am thinking now that paying for the syrup wouldn't have solved the problem. Those parents most likely do things like this all the time and maybe turning them in would have been a badly needed wake-up call instead. There were several witnesses to this lovely little scene, so CPS would have the 'evidence' needed to start an investigation. What do you guys think?

To KateTheShrew: Re the kid 'on a leash'...I had to chuckle on that one! My 2 youngest kids are exactly 12 months apart [ya, ya, I know :-D ] and once in a store the 2 yr old walked away in just seconds while I was adjusting the 1 yr olds stroller belt. By the time I stood up, my 2 yr old was gone! In a panic, looking quite like a freaked out mom, I started running all over with the stroller, screaming my sons name. Store folks helped and we found him crouched down and hiding behind a counter. He was scared and didn't know where I was. After that, I got a wrist strap for him and he stayed smartly 'wrist strapped' to the stroller and NEVER wandered off again! I never cared if anyone thought it was cruel...I loved him to the depths of my soul and cared more about keeping him in my life! Fast forward to a month ago. That same 2 yrd old boy, now 15, saw a man with a child wearing a harness. My son whispered to me, "Mom, can you believe that? He's got a leash on that kid like a dog! How awful!" I turned to him and said, "Son, first off, that's not a leash...it's a harness. Second, you had something similar to that when you were little too." You should have seen the look my son gave me!!! He understood once I told him the above story. Ah! What a good laugh that was... To amberlover13: Yes, I understand what you're saying . Some are worse off than others. Those kind of folks should get/really need help. But the couple in the story that started this thread? They are pathetic! That poor little girl started crying when 'mom' said no cough syrup. I wish I was bigger...I wish I was stronger...I wish I could have stolen that girl and brought her home with me...Hmmmm...I bet they would have sold her to me for a few more cases of beer! To brynna: Here Here! Kudos on your ranting! By all means...rant some more! Maybe if we all rant more often, folks like them would get the message!

To amberlover13: Yes, I agree to some degree, but on the other hand...When I was growing up I went to other friend's homes. I saw all types of families. Even when I was young, I knew that there were differences and that there were 'good' homes and 'bad' homes. I stayed clear of the 'bad' ones as soon as I realized which were which. I saw all types of family lives. I knew there were parents who took their kids to dance classes, soccer games, had special parties for them, read them stories in bed and hugged them...etc. So, what I am saying is that people have to stop using the ole, "I was raised that way and don't know any better' excuses. We all have known all sorts of types of families from when we grew up...even as adults we visit other families homes and see first hand how they live. We all are accountable for our actions. I think 'bad' parents are simply immature, selfish adults that would rather keep repeating poor parenting than learning how to be good parents...cuz that takes work...and ALOT of it! Parenting is hard work and it's never ending. Those people are just lazy...but they know right from wrong. To jfike: Yea, it all happened so fast so no plate number. I don't think the clerk knew them just by her reaction to the whole scene. I was caught off guard. Next time, maybe I'll do better and think faster!

To Marque: You have my gratitude for being an emergency nurse...without folks like you, where would we be? And I doubt if I could make it as one...I'm far too sensitive. I have heard that it desensitizes a person, but I think you have to be of a certain 'breed', if you will, to start with. Thanks for being one of the ones that takes care of people who need it and so sorry for things you have to deal with on a day-to-day basis! To neftis: You are right...we can change ourselves and be better parents than ours were. I am better in some ways than my own mother because I WANTED to be, ever since I was little. I knew what I would do differently when I had my own kids someday. And I did it! I'm not perfect, but I am better.

To Acadia: "As for the cough syrup, I would have bought it myself" --> Yea, I know, see my comment just above. And kudos about the woman hitting her kid - I saw something similar years ago. This guy spanked his 2 yr old daughter in a store for something she didn't do [I know cuz I saw] and then she started crying. He covered her mouth with his hand and kept yelling, "Shut up! Shut up or I'll give it to you again!" The wife just stood by and kept looking through the clothing rack as if nothing was happening. I said something to him as nice as I could about the fact that I saw that she didn't do what he was accusing her of and he screamed at me to mind my own and called me a few choice words. I had my own 2 yr old in a stroller with me and not wanting my son to witness an altercation, I got out of there as soon as I could. Sad, huh?

To ClintH: Yea, I would have offered to pay if the situation hadn't got so heated at the check stand between 'dad' and the 'nice guy'. I have to admit that I was intimidated by both the 'mom and dad'. I'm a small gal and they were both bigger than me! Sad, but true. To ScottA: Good for you - you are like the 'nice guy' at the check stand...not afraid to stand up for what you believe in. Tells a lot about a man's character! To Tiari: Yea, me too! I have 3 kids and a grand daughter. In 23 years, I too have done without MANY things. For a few years, when my oldest was 4,5 and 6, I was struggling financially. My son's clothes were brand new, but I shopped at thrift stores and garage sales to get clothes. I love my babies and want them to never fell poor...even if it means that I do! It's an honor to be their Mom. I don't spoil them, but by all means, they don't do without either! Good for you...you are a TRUE Mom!! To grylin: I am sooo sorry to hear that your children are in such a deplorable situation. Any chance you could call the police next time you witness abuse like that? In my state, kids in school, [3rd grade] are told by visiting officers, "If a parent hits you with anything other than their hand, it's abuse. If they hit you with their hand and it leaves a bruise, it's abuse" Check with your state laws and maybe the law can be on your side? Good luck to you and your children...

Thread: How do I get into the Free Stuff section at 3dtotal.com?? | Forum: Bryce
I went back through my old Fav's and found the free stuff page that I had somehow managed to get to, in spite of the frames, But I think that the download section has been moved or something. This is the message that the page is displaying: "We are very sorry but due to some temporary bandwidth problems we have had to close the fee mesh libraries until Mid June. At this time we will have more server power to cope wit the 40 gigs per day you greedy bunch get through! ;) Additional Note 8th July 04 - We are sorry for the extended delay, Mid June was a bit ambitious but we have now purchased a new server and are just configuring it, the library will be back in a few days time! Many thanks for your patience" The date on the message is 2004, so they must have a new page for the free stuff. Uggg! I know others are getting there, so if any of you could go directly to the free stuff page and copy the addy and paste it to this thread, maybe I can get to it that way. (I am a member, at least I WAS one at one time. Thanks again....

Thread: What's the best Poser render you've ever seen? | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
There's absolutely NO WAY I could ever pick only one...there's just too many beautiful images, each for it's own reason....Of course I can't pick a fav song or color either...hehehe My kids ask me similiar questions all the time and I have to tell them, "With so many choices, how can I possibly pick just one above the rest? The world is full of so many beautiful things that to narrow it down to one is like trying to pick a fav between breathing or having a steady heartbeat...I like both and just couldn't pick one! :-D Have an awesome weekend!
