Pondering at the Laundry Mat

Hey, Trew Lifers,

I’m sitting in the laundry mat, and I decided to pull out the laptop and get my observation on.

Have you ever noticed how women bring their entire clan of children to the laundry mat? Not that I’m saying they have any other place to take them, but it just seems like the baddest kids come here. These are black, nappy headed, or white, red faced kids who just love to jump over EVERYBODIES things and could probably break a 500 pound heavy duty drier!

As I type these words, Lance, Shequita, and Mary are running rapid around this bitch, screaming, yelling, stomping, crying, looking through my laundry!? Hold on one second. Let me take care of this shit…

Okay, I’m back. Tell my why the kid’s mother was the one going through my things! But she thought that my little rolling basket was hers. It’s kind of amazing how these women know their children are off-springs of Chucky, O.J. Simpson, Sadam Hussein. The mother said, “I hope my bad ass kids aint causing too much trouble,” then she laughed. I didn’t.

It’s kind of a catch-22, because she can’t take them anywhere else (I’m assuming this because she brought them here knowing they need social training), but she knows they need to be chained and gagged out in public.

Now, I’m starting to think to myself, what the hell has she been doing (or lack thereof) to cause her children to be such bad ass little pricks. Was it lack of a father? Does she not feed them enough? This leads me to wonder what type of relationship she has with her children. Seems like she’s the type of person who lets her children dig in their noses and wipe their boogers on the wall, but when she gets out in public she wants to yell and threaten them when they do it.

Typical.

What do you think about this?

Regarding the kids and their ghetto or trailer trash moms at laundry mats, you are right on point!! I have TONS of dirty laundry that I need to take to my neighborhood laundry mat in Brooklyn, but have delayed this task - not so much because of the drugery of washing clothes, but more because of all of those damned bad ass kids, running wild all over the place, crying and making havoc.

Someone would make a mint if they'd open a kids free laundry. Hmm, now that's an idea!!

your post was funny and interesting at the same time. it was funny because the things you wrote about the children running is sooo true. i have run into that a time or two myself. it irritates me at the time.
the interesting part to me is your speculation and opinion of what brought that mother and children to that point. there could be multiple reasons why that situation came to be. the reason i say this is the fact that i have a friend and she was happily married and had 3 children. 1 day her husband tells her that he does not want to be with her anymore because he realized he is gay and that is the lifestyle he wanted to lead. talk about WOW! it has been hard on her to say the least. it is frustrating to her to have to deal with the loss of a spouse, additional income and disciplinarian. she doesn't yell at the children because she knows she will take the frustrations she feel about her situation with her husband out on them.
i am not knocking what you are saying about the bad ass kids running around like they are playing tag with satan, but i say cut the mom some slack. some of these mothers out here are to blame for the children having lack of home training but some are put in a bad situation not of their doing and are doing the best to survive with bad ass children.
great post. take care. xirus :)
