Be Responsible, and Hold Yourself Accountable

In this busy life of single parenthood we sometimes forget that we are a parent, teacher, police officer etc... to our children. We cannot forget to hold ourselves accountable for our children's upbringing. There are quite a few parents who would just as soon let the television or the other neighbourhood parents babysit our children because we are too tired or our favorite tv show is on.

We need to know where are children are at all times, who they are with, and are they playing safe. I can't figure out why some parents let their children run wild outside past dark, or even 8 pm. Then the parents are surprised when little Johnny or Suzy get into trouble...geez no parental supervision or lack of...hmmmm. The same goes for parents who are not supervising their children on bicycles. Way too many times I have seen children with no helmets on while bike riding. And then when little Johnny or Suzy get hurt the parents are looking for someone, or something else to blame for their child's injuries.

Parents we need to think and teach our children how to be reponsible!!
