So.. I must ask, WTH is up with today's children? Even worse, WTF is with parents today with young children?! While working at a toy store I've seen a lot of /face palm moments, I have laughed at little kids crying over nothing, groaned over spoiled brats getting their way and shaking my head at the parents afterward. What is going on as of late? Whatever happened to discipline? Usually the remedy for a tantrum spewing brat was a slap in the head in public. WHAT HAPPENED?!

I get so annoyed over hearing a kid cry, groan, scream, or what have you just because they want something. What's worse is that they will not let up until they are acknowledge and by then, they are given a toy to shut them up. Bribery..? Really? Kids are getting to be more crafty, do these people not see this? Does this not click in their brains that this is manipulation? I wish I could just possess the parent for a split second and tell the kid to shut up, and if they keep having a fit and embarrass me I'd take them out of the store and they wouldn't get a single thing.

I have seen children wander into the store and,as of late, I have to tell them they can't come in without a parent/chaperon because due to all the floor/backroom work I'm doing alone, I can't watch them and tell them not to do things. (Plus, this was NEVER a babysitting service. ) The #1 answer I get from these children is, "..... is out there [in the food court in front of our store]." ... Lazy parenting, they let their child run off into a store and walk around, do w/e (I end up having to clean up after them because no one is there to tell them to pick up after themselves) AND risk their child getting hurt or kidnapped. Bri-lli-ant.

== Taking a break in this to say: thank you for creating more needless work for me as if my day wasn't already busy! ==

Example: There were 4 kids that walked into the store on my shift. They kept walking around playing with things and running around. Then they had discovered the cursed puppet rack. While I was helping a customer I noticed 1 of the little boys walking back into our store holding one of the puppets. I told him "Don't take anything out of the store please." So he looks at me for a minute and puts it back. Then I see the little girl with them do the same thing, but this time I catch her. I asked her where were her parents she points out at the table in front of our store window. I peer out the window and see the woman (trust me i want to call her far worse but I'll keep it clean) talking to some guy.. looked like she was flirting. I couldn't believe it. I told the kids they can't come back in here without their mother and they left the store. I'm not sure which is sadder, the fact that I had to kick them out, or the fact that she didn't bother watching her own kids and had to have a stranger discipline them.

Many times I wish I could tell the parent to take the kid out the store when they start to have tantrums or crying incredibly loud. (Not babies, these are kids that are at least 3 up to 5+) How difficult is to tell this kid no and if they start up you are going home? Better yet, why not just slap them in the head or spank them in public? Oh.. wait that's right, there's a line. YES a line, between discipline and abuse, and some people are too brain damaged to know when to draw that line or even see it. Back when I was a child (no I'm not that old! ...at least I don' think so. 21 isn't old!!!!) I didn't know what CPS (Child Protective Services) was. I didn't know it existed. I knew if I was bad I was disciplined for it. Nowadays, if you smack your child in the head in public you don't know who will be watching and they'll haul you off to prison for trying to teach your kid not to be a stupid little spoiled brat. WHY. WHY. WHY!

Changing over a little, I look back now at all the spankings I got and how I am today. I can look back and say, my parents loved me they wanted what was best for me. All they wanted was to put me on the right track. Yeah I cried then and maybe even thought they hated me sometimes, but that was never the case. If only all stories ended that way I guess. Too many variables change the end result.

There are so many questions I wish I could ask, so many opinions I wish I could share in hopes of helping, but in the end I just watch. Recently I keep telling myself "Best thing about all of this is when you walk out of this store they'll still be your problem, and no longer mine." I would grin and go back to working.


The world keeps spinning.

I did update my gallery but my scraps has the new stuff in it XD there's even a coloring page if anyone is interested

>.> and on another note: ~_~ I DON'T WANNA DEAL WITH CRAZY KIDS AT WORK!!!! ... *saves rant for later* Will be editing later, glad to be back! I've missed you all. Thank you for still visiting my page after so long

=====

Well work is over with.. so so tired ><; Why does it seem like parents never teach thier kids how to behave in public..? Good night everyone! I'll be responding to messages tomorrow morning! *passes out*

Hi everyone that may still be watching! (something tells me that may be single digit atm..) I'm so incredibly sorry for wasting your lives like this..but still thank you so much for your support. I have NOT abbandoned my gallery by any means I've just been having technology issues. Long story short my computer has been down since the summer, and in the past few months I have gotten a job! (had a job since novemember but i won't get into the details atm) Now that I have a somewhat steady source of income I could afford to get my computer repaired! (but i also took some financial detours... hehe)
For a while i have only had just my internet and wasting my life away playing FFXI, but last month the company stiffed us and cancled our service.. =__=; so that left me with NOTHING. Just last week I figured I had enough money after my b-day to go and finally solve my computer problem. I went to Best Buy and bought a really nice 18" monitor, but after I took it home my computer had the SAME problem! *head desk in defeat* SO the next day I had to take it back and this time I brought my computer and through process of elimination and help we figured it was my graphics card that was really the issue. ( We had a feeling about the card being the problem for the LONGEST. ...sometimes family just doesn't come through for you.)
After obtaining the card we gave my computer up to GS and managed to save some money by not requesting a diagnosis and what not. (if you know the problem DON'T waste your time with a diagnosis...) Yesterday, they called and said that my cpu wasn't playing nice with the keyboards and mice they provided (lolwhut?) So they wanted to restore my system and everything and I nearly freaked >_<. I told them I'd bring my stuff maybe it'll work for me. So today I went back to see the damage and praying that I didn't need to do anything else or be charged for much more. Well turns out? my keyboard and mouse work just fine with my system but not with the GS! (LAWLWTF?)



TL;DR
*knock on wood* my computer appears to be ok now! I just need to get internet back and that might take another month or so... But I can start using my tablet again!!! *huggles battered old tablet* I have been drawing still and practicing so chances are there will be LOTS of updating! (joy for the masses?)


I've missed all my DA friends soooo much T____T Please forgive me guys.. I didn't mean to do this to anyone! Hope everyone has been well and I'm looking forward to talk to you all again!!! *huggles everyone* I have been practicing and trying to improve as best I can while I've been "stranded" I'll be upating LOTS once I'm back =3 I've missed you guys too much =< Buuu I forgot what I was going to say next... =A= I love my brain... it makes a goldfish look like an elephant. OK! well Ashie out! For now!

I don't have a ton of time but in short? I'm having SEVERE Computer problems D: I'm over at a friend's house atm and they were nice enough to let me hijack the computer enough to check my DA :< THANK YOUUUU!!!

I'm pretty sure its my monitor so I'm working on getting a new one and I promise I'll be back!!!!! T_T I'll even scan some stuff from my sketch book and put it in scraps until I can manage to start working in my normal cg programs again! THank you for still watching me and putting up with my shinanigans you guys are the greatest! And I know I have to get to work on the kiriban I promised someone I hope they aren't mad >_< Hope everyone is doing great! + I hope everyone had a really good summer! I'll try my best to keep in touch!!! Thank you again! Will be back ASAP I PROMISE. /bow
