~Parents~

From the title you may be thinking that I'll be talking about my parents. Well that is not so. I'm talking about other parents, the ones that go to the pool and don't watch their kids and are just stupid. How could they even be permitted to be parents? Why don't they watch and care for their kids? Well there really is no way to prevent them from becoming parents, you can't force them to not have kids. But why do they not see that with kids come responsibility. That you have to watch them constinly, especially in the pool. So why don't they watch their kids? One of the only reasons that I can think of is that they think their kids are just fine by themselves. But how can they think that becasue most of the time their kids have never had swim lessons or been taught to swim very well. So I think that the parents don't watch their kids because they think us LifeGuards are there to watch their kids and make sure they don't hurt themselves. Well this is true we need the help of the parents to enforce it with their kids specifically. Mainly because kids don't pay attention to our wistles or us telling them not to do something. We also can't watch every kid in the pool super close like the parents can. Guards are there for emergencies and to set guidlines and precotions. NOT TO BABYSIT. This is the big reason parents bug me so much, they think that we are their kids babysitters. Really this blog stats why parents bug me so much? Not so much on the why they don't watch their kids.
