while i usually try to be charitable to people with young kids, it really irritates me when a kid is screaming, crying, really upset and their parent/s are just completely ignoring it. at least ask them what the matter is, smh
Pls sir im sorry, ill get the duct tape
Adult-only hotels my friend, only way to travel (without losing your mind).
I was in Da Nang last month, the South Korean parent tourists there just don't give a fuck. Between their children running and screaming in the hallways from 6AM and the parents coming home drunk at 3AM, I barely slept.
As a parent anytime my daughter acted up one of us would take her outside. She would lose her audience and no one wants to hear that. We only had to do that a few tines before just saying "if you keep this up I'm going to take you out side" would put an end to the fit.....now that being said my daughter was generally a very easy child to raise and I know that is not always the case.
Our neighbors do the same, especially on weekend mornings while the rest of the neighborhood is still asleep. Outside isn’t necessarily a location where you’re not bothering anyone.
The only reason I can think of, other than them just being a-holes, is that they're used to all the crying and since nobody else comments on it, they'll assume it's not that big of a deal.
I have a cousin whose daughter has manic episodes because she is bipolar and she has had the police called quite a few times on her already. She loves her child and tries to get her to take her medicine but is at her wits end on what else to do.
Just want to offer a different perspective and maybe offer some nuance. I guess the takeaway is don't take them to pools though.
Before you judge a parent, you should try being one yourself, then you'll have understanding. I remember being like you.
Oh I completely understand, that's why I made the responsible choice to sterilize myself.
Your choices, your responsibility. That includes not letting those choices be loud dicks at strangers.
I hate children like any reasonable person and don't want to reproduce but what you're demanding isn't possible. Children are like dramatic drunks and them being annoying is a normal process of growing up.
I was a camp counsellor for 6 or so summers and managed to keep groups of hyped up crazy kids quite when needed kind of whenever but sure.
I mean, we all give kids more leeway than functional adults but that doesn't mean they a free pass to chaos. If the kids can't behave in a hot tub, they don't get to stay in that hot tub, it's basic parenting. Which is a hard job but that's the one those parents volunteered for.
