Bad parenting

I'm not a baby mama.

I have no children and I don't plan on having any until I'm good and ready and hopefully married.

The only children I've had to look after were my own younger siblings. That all being said, I think I still have a pretty good idea of how and especially how not to raise a child. I know that I could never fully understand what it is like to be a parent before I even have children of my own, but I'm pretty sure knowing the basics would work for most people who have their head on straight. Like, I know I shouldn't swear around my child if I do not want him or her to swear, I know not to scream and yell at them for screaming and yelling while in the grocery store, and I know that hitting them when they piss me off only teaches them to hit someone or something when they are mad.

Earlier today, I was walking into Giant Eagle and there was a small family behind me- a father, a mother, and a daughter who was about 6 or 7. The mother said something about a driver in the parking lot who she thought was driving too fast and out of no where the father says, very loudly mind you, "Asshole!"

I almost spun around to stare at him! Did he really just yell that with his daughter 2 feet from him? All I could think of was, that man does not have the right to be mad at his daughter when she comes home from kindergarten swearing up a storm. He's reaping what he sows, as they put it.
When did parents stop being parents and start being random people who seem to have accumulated a child in the past week? 'Tis a shame.
