Stupid Parents

Mother: You get a new toy every day, and you still point at stuff you want.
Daughter: But, mom ..... .(incomprehensible child muttering)
I wanted to scream at that woman
me (Or me as I would have liked to have done): GAAAAHHH! But of course your daughter want's everything she points at, when you give her everything she points at. You stupid stupid mother. And why the hell are you in a toy store with her every god damn day???
I don't have children yet, and I understand it's the most difficult matter in the world, raising a child. So why isn't there a child licence? A licence each of the parents have to take to be able legaly to have a child. I have an other example of a stupid mother (sorry I have actually not heard a father say something stupid to his child as of yet, so therefore I only have these two mother examples, don't read anythign into it).
Example:
I was raised in a suburb three European miles South of Stockholm, a suburb that's on the border to farm country. In this suburb we often sense the distinct smell of manure from the local farm (Alfa Laval).
Child: What's that smell, mom?
mother: It's all these turks who take a dump everywhere they stand.
Me (again as I wish I would have done): GAAAAH!!! [lifts mother in air and throw her of the bridge (we were standing on a bridge at the time)].
I was so fucking (I get really aggitated even as I think about it, so the f word is applicible) pissed of during that whole day, hell make it the week. How can a mother so spitefully teach her child such lies??
1. She know's the truth about the smell, as well as I do.
2. She delibratly tell the child a lie, when she doesn't have to.
3. She thoughtfully transfer her hate to her child.
Why oh why didn't I just stop and tell the child the truth and say that his mother was a god damn lier.
I really, really think we ought to have a sort of licence for parents. If they don't have this licence they don't get child support from the state.
(It's an unrealistic stance, I know, but sometimes the people of this planet makes you doubt the point of it all.)

So true! Today's parents are children themselves! What the heck are they ~doing~ raising kids??? Did I say raising? Oh, forgive... I meant failing...
