there are lots of people out there who have no business being parents. they don't have it in them ... you have to be grown up to be a parent. you can't be selfish, self centered which is where I think a lot of the neglectful type abuses come from.

Kids are hard work, and parents who don't want to bother or are too self centered to grow up themselves can't give their children the effort they require.
