Traits of Trifling Parents

2.  Letting Lord Knows Who Around Your Child

It’s understandable that just because you’re a parent doesn’t mean your social life or sexual needs go into retirement. But it also doesn’t mean that everyone you enjoy being around, should be someone you bring around your child.  Your friends may agree with you about the best clubs to go to, but they might not share your ideas on parenting.  And don’t get me started on the ladies that like to fall in love and move the new man into the house with them and their children after only knowing him for a short time.  You’ve probably known your manicurist longer, but wouldn’t dare move her in your house to help you co-parent.  The moral of this story is that you never know what people’s backgrounds are as far as discipline and the relationship between parent and child.  Your child doesn’t have a choice about where they live. Consider their safety and comfort when it comes to regularly having people in your home.
