I Let My Little Kids Run Wild in Public. Join Me!

We’ve all gotten a little bit too afraid to let children be children.

Holy shit, talk about everything people hate about Americans wrapped into a single person. Zero empathy for other people around her, so selfish that she twists herself into thinking she’s right, and worse tries to gaslight the reader into thinking they’re wrong for ever thinking about other people or respect.

It reminds me of the first time I was in DC. I visited the WW2 memorial and it was one of the first times it hit me, I had multiple family members in the war, and I was walking around to the states. Serene. Peaceful, reflecting. Then a family came by and two kids got in the pool. And worse the family laughed and started taking pictures. One of the most disrespectful things I’ve ever seen, just spitting in the face of the people who had died.

    No. Just no. It is not the responsibility of the public to have to suffer your children being children. There are parks for that, there is your back yard. If I am at somewhere in public, I expect to enjoy my time peacefully and not having to listen to some screaming brat whose parents gave up long before.

    1. Journalist needs to wire an article to keep job.

    2. The more views, the better they did.

    3. Journalist picks the minority side on an argument where 99.9% agree they’re wrong.

    4. Idiots share it on social media because they’re mad.

    5. This drives people to click the link, and more importantly repost it.

    6. A small amount of bigger idiots actually take the bait advice.

    7. Profit… And this happening more and more because people do what OP just did.

    Tldr:

    You’re making the problem you’re complaining about worse.
