Trash

I hate the parents at my child's school! Ok, hate is a "strong" word. I DISLIKE the parents at my child's school... Is that better?
They don't all drive me crazy, but enough of them do that I forget about the ones that are not annoying. My son and I walk to and from school everyday that the weather allows. On the way to school I always get stuck behind the parents with strollers, taking up the entire sidewalk, walking SLOW! I am happy for them that they do not mind if there child is late for school, but I do! I have no problem going around someone one, its just that it rains a lot here and I don't like for my son to have to walk through muddy grass just because you can’t speed up your pace!
Then there are the parents in the afternoon. They are the ones that really make me want to go White Trailer Trash on them!!  *that's my term I use when I feel like I can not hold back and I am going to cause a scene* The whole reason I feel I need to go off on them  is because they themselves are behaving in pure "Trailer Trash" fashion.
If any body is reading this you are getting mad because you live in a trailer, please don't. I lived in a trailer park for over half my life. I do not mean that everyone that lives in a trailer is trash. Urban Dictionary describes trailer trash as being "foul language ...and general ignorance" I am a firm believer that "Trailer Trash" like people can live anywhere. I have seen them myself living in Apartments, houses, trailers, even BASE HOUSING!! Just because some one is in the military, or they are married to the military, DOES NOT men that they are high-class nice people. Oh no! You would think that since there family or they themselves put their lives on the line for there country that it would give them a better perspective on life and help them behaves properly out in public. But nope you still have "low class" in every form of military.

Oh so back to the Trailer Trash parents.

          Since I walk my son home form school, I pick him up at school.  I congregate in front of his classroom (his room has a door that opens up to outside) with all the other parents.  This is where the action happens. I tend not to associate with most of these people. I am just not an out going person around people I do not know. Therefore, it took a while for me to even pay attention enough to realize what was going on. I remember the exact day that my eyes and ears opened up. So you have about 10-15 parents, most of which also have toddlers or pre K age kids with them. All of us just waiting for the bell to ring and our kids to get out. You would think that in this situation, on school ground, young kids around, public place,  people would act in a proper manner. NOPE!
So, I was approaching the outside area of his classroom, and I heard music. Not like kids singing, but good music. I believe it was Alicia Keys. As I got to the poll I lean against I was able to see that it was a parent using her phone to listen to music. At first, the music was not bad so it did not bother me. However, I did feel it was rude to have the music on that loud, and no headphones. Not everyone wants to hear what you are lessoning too. Then she changed the song. I do not even know what song it was, but I can tell you it was a Lil Wayne song!!! AT AN ELEMENTRY SCHOOL!! And, all these parents standing around with their pre K kids and none of them seemed taken back by it. Am I the only parent left on this planet that does feels not  all music meant for me is ok for my kid?
As I am looking around at these parents wondering if anyone was a disgusted with the situation as me,  I started to really hear the conversations. These parents think its just time for one big B***h fest! I have a bad mouth, anyone that knows me knows this, BUT I was born with some sense and know that I should watch my mouth around other peoples children! These parents cuss up a storm, as if they are sitting in there own living rooms or something! The grown ups here just do not care.
That day was some months ago, and I am sad to say that it was not some kind of exception. Even though the music incident has not happened again. Still not one of these parents seems to feel they should watch the way they speak. It is not just the words they use; it is also the subjects that get to me. They sometimes talk about their sex lives, their bathroom habits, or talk BAD about their children. Complaining about how your kid is not picking up his room, fine, but calling him a messy bastard, not ok! The bad manners are reserved not to just when they are speaking to each other. I have seen some of them speak to the teacher like she is worthless. I promise you all this teacher is one of the best ever!  They also speak to their own kids this way as well. See Trailer Trash:  foul language and general ignorance.
Some of you reading this may feel I should step up and say something to them. Yes something should be done. Nevertheless, I doing it my self is not an option. I can already tell you what would happen.
I would walk up say something quiet and polite like "I hate to interrupt, and I don’t want to come off as rude but your language and choice or topics may be inappropriate for this setting". Then she will give me a dirty look, say something rude and Trailer Trash-ish. At this point, I would have to defend my honor, because I cannot let someone talk to me like that! Next thing you know I am going all White Trailer Trash on her and we are both in the principles office. Lol...
Since approaching the situation head on is not an option, and a phone call to the school proved unsuccessful, I vent on here and find myself laughing now instead of being upset as I was at the start.
