I took my two boys to the basketball hoops the other day and all of the hoops were taken ...my boys who are 8 and 9 sat and waited patiently while the "BIG' boys played..no on seemed to care if the little boys had a turn at the hoops or not...and the language that was comming out of some of the older boys was unbelivable...finally my boys said lets go to the high school and we wil try to shoot some hoops there..well that worked out well for us because no one was there..the only problem was the hoops were to high...Here is a thought for the city manager...maybe we can try to find a way to build a seperate basketball court for the little boys ages 12 and under..and if we ever are able we might also want to put it far from the big boys because i don't think some of the things that i heard that day are very appropriate for the little kids to hear. What steps do i as a tax payer have in trying to get something like this considered. If anyone knows ..please give the information.
I can understand that...I was at the Park the other day, and 4 young adults were there. First the women started throwing F bombs at each other and fighting and a coach asked them to please go fight somewhere else away from the kids. Then they moved to a different pavillion and started screaming at each other. Pretty soon the husbands showed up and started yelling at each other. I guess my point is how can we expect our kids to act maturely and appropriately in public, when we can't seem to get our adults (parents) to. It really is ridiculous the way people act when they are out and about. Show some class people! Be positive role models not negative ones!
Have you taken your kids to the play ground? well look in the garbage cans you will find all kinds of cans from beer and wine coolers ect. and funny thing no one does anything about that either. skate park, kids with out helmets, and you'll here about the same kind of language there too.
Carol Statti This comment is more for pianofingers and his boys. I also raised boys, sometimes they can be real tuff, when mom and dad aren't around. Here is a thought, if you know their names or can find their names out, post them. Maybe if mom and dad find out their little angles have bad mouths and bad manners, something can be done. Usually it takes embarrassing mom and dad to get things done. Just a thought.
