To the two girls who decided to go out for dinner at East Side Marios with two young kids at 8-9pm if your kids cant handle being out past their bed time or act like that on a regular basis you should order in and eat at home!!! Your kids were completely out of control yelling and screaming and bouncing around!!! But thats not the part thats disturbing u hade zero control when ur friend eventually tried to get one of your children to behave you then said to her thats not going to get you anywhere she will just start spitting at you!!! I understand that kids will be kids and kids act up but your lack of control was most disturbing!!! I was also with two young children one an infant the other 6 and yes my child got loud once or twice but I have respect for the other paying good money for their dinners out... So me I told my child how he is expected to act(even before leaving for the restaurant) and after warning number one made it quite clear that I would have no problem packing up our meals and taking him home to finish if he couldnt behave and that we would not return to eating at restaurants until he could behave at them!! Imagine that the inappropriate behavior stopped immediately as my child knows I will not tolerate it and im serious!!!
bottom line if u cant control ur kids stay home the rest of Windsor should have to suffer a migraine due to ur lack of control and respect for others!!!

We hosted a Japanese girl for the past two weeks. It was a huge joy and pleasure.
Tonight we celebrated and watched her graduate from the ESL program. The 70 students were in tears and very emotional to say goodbye to their new Canadian families. They sang and danced and showed us their projects and some had traditional dress on it was wonderful. The only problem is the 2 women in front of us. Blonde hair, 30's one in black top one in white top with sunglasses on your heads. TALKING THROUGH THE WHOLE CEREMONY... yeah.. boyfriends working with the class maybe? ESL teachers perhaps? you HAD to be there? There's no way you were host mama's or you would have shown respect to these girls and all their hard work. To their teachers, to the volunteers. What a shame we had to hear about your personal crap throughout the entire ceremony. NO, we couldn't move because our host child kept her eye on us the entire time and we didn't want to upset her if she looked up and couldn't see us. YES, we wanted to tell you to shut up but you couldn't hear us over your own voices. Next time stay at home and wait for your hard working boyfriends' possibly husbands to complete their journey and talk all you want. You ruined our night but we'll never tell our girl that. You've been SPOTTED and HEARD....

To the mother of the seven year old girl who stole from EB Games, I understand that it is not easy being a parent let alone being the parent of a child with a disability (or so you say, I do not know and will not assume). However I must point out to you that regardless of your child's possible social unawareness it is your duty as a mother to watch over her and to raise her properly. Instead you use this disability as a crutch and rather than returning the stolen property from which it came, you remained in The Source buying a cell phone. I can see you have your priorities all sorted out so I feel I don't need to say anything.

When I found your daughter and saw you do nothing about returning the stolen property I decided to wait in the hallway for security to arrive so that they can make sure the property is returned and that the situation is dealt with, however it needed to be. I did this so that if you decided to leave that I can then tell security where you went so they can talk to you.

And to accuse me of harassment for simply keeping an eye on you while I waited for security to arrive, let me make myself clear; I do not know you. I do not trust you. I have no reason to believe you when you tell me that you will return the item, especially when you are more worried about a new cell phone and not the fact that your child just did a bad thing that, if she was older, would be a criminal offence. As I have said, I do not know you. You may just as well have left the store with the figurines to later give back to the child as if to say “I know you stole, but that's okay, here go play”.

All of this would have been avoided had you been watching your children. As I have said, your daughter was caught stealing from a store, separate from the one you were in. I don't blame your daughter, especially if she does have a disability you stated she has, as it can be marked by lack of understanding of social rules and boundaries. However, this is extremely dangerous as not only does this open them to doing something bad such as stealing, but what makes it scarier is that anyone could have picked her up and left with her. Don't blame me for your mistake.

Use this as a teachable moment to discuss with your children right from wrong as opposed to what you did today at the mall (which was that when they do something bad it's not their fault, it's the fault of the person catching them and that Mommy will defend your deplorable behaviour).

Signed, The bad guy who caught your thieving kid!

Spotted these people not only parked in a handicap area but the lady in the front passenger seat was throwing her garbage outside the Window with her kids in the back. Perfect example to set for your kids. In front of Tim Horton in walker beside Applebee's

I was running with my dog this morning and after all of our close calls, we finally had contact with a car. Not watching both ways, a car waiting to pull into the road went when one way was clear, not looking at the way we were coming from. Thankfully they started from a stop, and thankfully I noticed them starting to move and was able to partially pull my dog out of the way.

PLEASE!! Watch for runners, walkers, dogs!!! And please follow road rules, I do, and I still have to dodge at least one car a week!

I was leaving work today and was turning left onto ouellette at park. I was waiting for the light to change an a couple with a puppy (perhaps american bulldog or boxer) were crossing the street towards me. The woman had the pup in her arms and when they got across put him down. The pup didn't want to walk. She started dragging him and picked him up slightly dangling him and yelling at him, " walk, move!"
By this time my light changed and cars were behind me. So I circled around trying to find where went bc if I felt sick and thought these people don't seem very nice. I could not find them :(. I'm venting on here bc a lot of people see this. I am assuming these people probably live downtown area. If you see a couple with a white puppy with a spot on his face, about 10 weeks old, keep an eye on them. I just feel like this poor pup did nothing wrong. He's a puppy :(

why do drivers just go without looking at their surroundings? I see this on a daily, no turn signal, tailgating, driving in the middle of both lanes and not checking their back widow when in reverse. today I was at Wal-Mart and walking back to my car this car pulls out and not even looking where the driver is going and hits my mom. a whole group of people saw the whole thing and the drivers family wants to argue with me that he never hit my mom. a lady clears my mom out of the way to make sure she was ok. ( and ma'am if you are reading this and you know who you are my mom and I want to say thank you for your help) while I spoke to the the driver and got the info I needed incase she was badly hurt. she wasn't hit hard but enough to make her hit the ground. a 51 yr old woman shouldn't have to worry when going shopping that someone is gonna back into her because they don't know how to look out the back window when in reverse.
is this how we drive? not paying attention to where we are going? just have the attitude to get out of my way or im gonna hit you? Windsor already has the highest insurance rates in Ontario, and drivers like this make it worse. why should we suffer and have to slam on our breaks because your cutting people off to get to the same red light? why should we have to yell and smack your vehicle to get your attention that you just backed into someone walking to their car. what happened to road etiquette? is it gone? do people just not respect the other drivers around them anymore? I feel sorry for people who don't pay attention, and why do I feel sorry? well, you don't know who is in our cars, we could have our clients in our cars driving them to whatever appointment or grocery store. some of us may even drive your grand parents or your disabled family members or even have a baby in the car. I see this on a daily, no one caring just speeding, no turn signals and cutting people off.. why? does it make you feel like a big shot that you drive like a moron? I just don't understand why some people have to drive like this, and im not saying all drivers are like this but im saying ive seen my fair share of people who shouldn't have their license. its a privilege to have a license, but that doesn't give you the right to hit someone and knock them to the ground because you don't feel like looking out your back window.

Townhouse/ apartment building burning down right now. Firefighters are on the scene. Hope everyone is safe.
