Responsibility is the Parents!
I would have to agree mostly with "Communicate don't confront", as soon as you confront someone, especially in a finger-pointing, tongue lashing type attitude, it doesn't matter to the other person that they are doing something not acceptable, you see most people when confronted this way will automatically shut you off. Meaning they will refuse to listen to reason, they become emotionally charged and you can forget about introducing reason to a person once this has happened. It's a human preservation mode. Second, most women will hate me for this but since this website is called, "The Responsibility Project" I feel I need to bring something up that no one will talk about. Why are "Nannies" raising other "Families" children? Since the mother carried and gave birth to their children, doesn't it make sense that they should take "Responsibility" of their children? Meaning, THEY should be caring for their children not a stranger! I think that it's very selfish of these parents to not work hard like the rest of us have to when it comes to child rearing, and let's not forget this type of "neglect" breaks down the family center, making the glue weak and susceptible to callous behavior. Yes it's hard to rear children, we've been doing it without "nannies" for centuries. Mothers if they are not single of course, need to take the time and stay at home with their children, teach them to be "Responsible" adults. And no, staying at home isn't something to look down on, it takes more patience, and bravery to take on a full time motherly role. Good luck to everyone!
