You suck as a parent ! By Angry Chef on January 2, 2015 photo credit:drugfreehomes.org Yep, I said it. Do I wish to take it back? Nope. Too many times, I’ve seen parents or chaperones that help with sports teams leave the kids running wild in a hotel while they sit and get plastered in the hotel’s bar. When the bar closes, they act like they’re being kicked out of their home when asked to leave. Yes, you are paying for a room at the hotel. Can you take your money and team somewhere else? Sure, you can. Will the loss of your few dollars hurt the entire hotel company? Probably not. The hotel has signs saying no outside food allowed; yet you bring it in. The bar’s hours of operation are posted; yet you pay them no attention. You’re not supposed to drink any outside alcohol in a public area of the hotel (INCLUDING the bar); yet you get pissed off when the bartender tells you that you and your other drunken parents can’t get hammered drinking alcohol from an outside source. Meanwhile, little Jimmy and cute little Sara are pulling fire alarms, running up and down the stairs, bouncing basketballs, kicking soccer balls, and being just like . . . YOU!
