Let’s scare the kids
Sometimes I shake my head watching people do stupid things… I know, I have done stupider things in my life but somehow this takes the cake.
Today I somehow got lost and found myself in front of my TeeVee. Anyone who knows me, knows I avoid TeeVee like a plague. But anyways, I digress.
I almost ended up scaring the hell out of myself. On the TeeVee, we had celebs acting as a foster parent to toddlers. I mean which stupid came up with the idea on putting kids less than yr old in the hands of more stupider people (celebs tends to lose whatever braincell they receive you know) and put them on show.
Now I am struggling to decide who’s more stupid, TV directors, Celebs or the parents of the kids participating?
Sigh…
People do anything to get a chance on the TeeVee.
Crazy thing is one of the so called celeb Rakhi Savant was trying to be a foster parent to kid… Man was she being a parent or being a snooty nosed witch? I know she makes money being nosy (and noisy) but that doesn’t mean scare the shit out of kids.
If I was a parent, I would have punched the nose, kicked the shin and stomped on foot. Multiple times.
Anyone who called TV as an Idiot box was pretty damn right.
One of my mentor used to say this “The size of your TV tells me about the size of wallet and pant. The bigger the TV is, the smaller the wallet is and fatter your waist is”. Funny eh?
My thought of overall show was simple. I don’t care what people do, there’s no need to push toddlers into all this. We already have 3–4 yrs old in front of stage and trying to outshow the other 3–4 yrs old in singing, drama contest.
There’s another Ad on TV which literally says something like this “I could not live my dream but I’ll make sure I live my dream through my childs”. Scray thoughts.
The ad is about a Credit card (If I remember that right).
People are pushing their dreams onto their children. Why not let them find their own goals, dreams?
When I see people around me, I see them trying to re-live their life through their children. Of course their parents did the same to them, now it’s their chance to payback. How about breaking the chain and becoming the parent you should be?
Fortunately my parents never tried that… Thank god their foresight. I am not a parent, right now. But whenever I am going to be, I won’t be any of the above stupids I talked about.
Like in the pic, You got to teach your kids lots of things, but pushing your dreams on to kids is not one of those.
