It’s back to school season which means that parents are spending big bucks to send their kids off for the school year.

Despite that fact that our property taxes pay for the school budget, parents are asked to pay for items not only for their own children but for the entire classroom.

While some may argue that the school budget should be covering the cost of things like tissues, other parents say the cost is WELL worth it.

Dena Blizzard of One Funny Mother says you can’t put a price on taking her kids off her hands after a long summer and other parents should quit their damn complaining.

“Everybody’s complaining about buying school supplies,” she says in a video on her Facebook page of her shopping up and down the aisles. “And my thing is, listen, it’s the end of August. I will give you ANYTHING to take my kids.”

Her hilarious rant shows Blizzard walking up the aisles and offering to buy teachers things that she passes by in the store that isn’t even on their list, including Tide and some pillow.

“You can put whatever you want on that list,” she says. “You can’t give a teacher some Kleenex? These teachers have been making plans to teach your kids and you’re all complaining about some pencils. Some pencils, are you kidding me? Do you know how much I would pay them just to take these kids out of my face?”

Blizzard just can’t grasp how some parents can be so unappreciative as she goes up and down the aisles offering teachers super glue, a microwave, and some luggage.

“I have spent hours… hours of my life teaching my daughter math and history,” she explains. “I don’t know anything about history and there’s a lady somewhere willing to teach my daughter about some history and she wants a yellow binder to do it. I’m gonna get that bitch a yellow binder!”

Preach funny mamma! Preach!

She points out that while parents complain about having to spend so much money on school supplies, they forget that the teachers are spending money out of their own pockets too. And not just at the beginning of the year, they spend money on their students all year round to replenish school supplies.

“What is wrong with these people?” she says placing the camera on a store shelf while she sips some alcohol from a tiny bottle. “These teachers have to put up with your kids for an entire year. And you guys gotta say ‘I don’t want to buy the pencils.’ Buy the fu**king pencils!”

She then proceeds to offer teachers a candle to calm down after the kids don’t listen and tells parents to stop their complaining about yellow binders.

“This is my public service announcement, it is August and you need to send your thank you notes now to your teacher,” she tells parents. “They are putting up with your kids so stop your complaining go out and get your stupid supplies. And you need to hug a teacher on the first day of school.”

Apparently, lots of parents agree because it’s already been shared on Facebook more than 350,000 times. You can watch the full video below.
