More and more I am noticing grown ass kids in a stroller. What the hell is up with that? I know damn well once I was able to walk and walk well on my own, that stroller business was out the door. My mom push me around when I could damn well walk? I don't think so. I mean seriously, why are these parents pushing their kids around in strollers at age 6? I mean I have seen it everywhere! When I was in LA, I was standing in a line at the Getty museum and sure enough there was like a 7 year kid in a stroller. My girlfriend said, "Maybe he's got a handicap or he's hurt or something." Ok, maybe, until he got out of that damn stroller and started running around like a little asshole. Then the other day, I was in the Prudential and I see a kid who was at least 5, not only in his stroller, BUT WITH A PACIFIER IN HIS MOUTH! I mean come on moms and dads, stop babying your damn kid. All it will lead to is an ass-whoopin, and/or mockery, and 100% it will lead to therapy later on down the road. I am pretty sure when I was a kid, and people my age were kids, our parents were striving to teach independence, not laziness.
Here is the thing, first of all, I don't even understand why you want to push your lazy ass kid around? Because you don't want to worry about him/her running off or getting snatched? Ok, then be a better parent and keep an eye on your kid. If your kid decides to be dumb and wander off, do what my mom did and go about your business.(She always kept an eye on me, she just didn't let her kid run her life) Your kid will get scared that he/she's been left alone so fast they won't leave your side again. I sure as hell didn't. Or if you're really that worried, just put your kid on a leash. (I also find this lazy and another sign of bad parenting, but it's a step up from pushing around a grown ass child) Yes it's demoralizing and redic, but at least it's less terrible than your kid being well above the age of needing a stroller.
Obviously by no means am I a parent or pretend to understand what it is like to be a parent, but I do know if and when I have children, when they are old enough to walk, they will goddamn walk. I'm not gonna push some lazy ass kid around when it's 8 years old in a stroller. Kids need to learn how to do things for themselves, I would imagine walking is probably on the top of that list considering we video tape our baby's first steps. Just imagine, if you're pushing your kid around at 7, you will probably end up with a 43 year old who lives in your basement. Just sayin.
