“People who expect others to make exceptions to accommodate their kids.
If someone says that a certain event is adults only, find a sitter or don’t come.
Don’t just rock up with your kid and expect people to make exceptions for you.
This is also true about parents who demand that strangers give up their airplane seats for their kids.
If you want to sit together, book the seats.
Don’t disrupt other people’s journeys.”
“The parents who kick their kids out the second they turn 18. congdongracie24

“Parents who berate their children in public.
I had a woman come through my line with her two sons and her mother.
Her mother then started screaming at the boys and told the woman that they were driving her crazy.
Mind you, all they were doing was bagging groceries.
They were being good kids, and the mother and grandmother were just so terrible to them.
I told the parent, ‘Thank you for being a good parent.’
The woman with her sons heard me, grabbed her bags, and left in a huff.”
“Parents who give their kids grief for not going to school when they’re sick.
My mom used to do this to me all the time.
She’d say, ‘You didn’t eventryto go to school.’
Like, sorry, Mom, I spent the day alternating between napping and throwing up.”

“A few years back, the job I had was only a 10-minute walk from home.
On nice days, I would just walk over instead of wasting gas.
During summertime, I’d see cars pull up with 12- to 16-year-olds getting out.
I’d then see the same parents picking them back up after my shift a whole nine hours later.
It was amazing how I’d see the same kids every single day.”
“Parents who body-shame their kids.”

It was a very easy rule for me to understand.
If you venture to enforce that, people will say things like, ‘Let kids be kids.
Stop trying to ruin their fun.’
“Swearing around your kids in general.

“Parents who always look well put together (nice clothes, hair done, etc.
), but their kids ALWAYS look like they’ve been playing at the local dump.
“When parents take their children anywhere and expect other people to look out for them.”
She didn’t react, so he did it again.
She didn’t make him clean it up nor did she apologize to me.”
