Parenting Consideration

I fail to understand why some people continually fail to be a contributing member of society. If you have an obligation to do something like lets say..... pick up your kids for visitation and you are running late, let em know. In the age of communication you can call, text, email, send a smoke signal, use 2 cans and a string, anything. Kids expecting to be picked up by a parent they already feel abandoned them, don't deal well with a parent that is late without an explanation before they are late. Treat your kids like you want to be treated, they don't deserve the mental and emotional abuse.
