One of my biggest pet peeves is when adults don't act their age and LACK the ability to register responsibility. Many of the examples that come to mind have no excuse not to act like a level-headed adult.
Some "popular" examples are: the Britney Spears incident, Lindsay Lohan, or the most recent; Christina Aguilera getting arrested for public intoxication. Two out of the three are PARENTS no less, and it makes me sick to see these parents acting like unintelligent underage teens!
But I have also seen some examples in my personal life. I shouldn't name names, and I won't, but I get that urge every now and then when one of these (what I like to call) "sudden screw-ups" gets this bright idea to post pictures of how much alcohol they've consumed. Or show how much they party. Then turn around and express how much life sucks and how they don't want to live.
I call them "sudden screw-ups" because they made smarter choices in the past and were not so careless, at one point in time.
But aside from the fact that depression is a mental condition, the other issues here are for one; unacceptable. I cannot stress enough that you are a fucking PARENT, and need to focus on caring for your children MORE than hanging out with people younger than you, drinking and partying. You missed out on that option when you brought a child into the world.
There are more adult ways to enjoy life, but that takes maturity and a bit more sophistication than displaying pictures on Facebook with the look on your face that shows you are more than just shit-faced.
If your children mean the world to you, then prove it. If you keep up this tasteless way of living/parenting, then your children will and SHOULD be taken from you. You have, essentially, two choices: straighten up and be the mature adult you NEED to be in order to survive; or keep ruining your life, losing everything and everyone you love.
You will wonder why you are lonely, depressed and have a bad functioning liver and/or kidney (if issues are alcohol related). Quit your bad habits, work hard to earn money to take care of your kids and yourself.
As a parent, your children should always come first. Not the bottle. Not drugs or parties. Your children and keeping a level-mind. Then, and only then, will happiness occur and life will fall easily into place.
You said it very well. It is true that parents should get out of their habits if they truly want to be parents. If they don't then give the child to a better home or don't have them at all. Also the ones that have kids just to get the welfare checks are screwy too. I mean gee when will the government learn that they don't need the money because they have kids they don't want. They need the money for their stupid spending etc. They should have a max limit of kids you can have if you are on welfare. Also welfare should be better regulated.
