It's all parent's fault

Sometimes the parents screw up the kid. Sometimes the kid is just screwed up from the beginning. Sometimes he looks funny and other kids make fun of him. It's still the kid's fault when he screws up, though. End of topic.

Seriously, last week I was on a semi crowded train on my way to class and this little boy on a stroller, he must've been about 5, was absolutely going berserk, crying hysterically, shrieking out the top of his lungs, continuously, over a toy he kept throwing on the floor purposefully cause he wanted another nearby child's' toy, it seemed and i sat right smack next to his parent or caretaker and after about 5 minutes of the constant madness and my ears literally ringing, I took a stand. I asked the woman if she could "please calm your kid down a bit?" and she gave me this look as if i stuck a sword in the child's heart and displayed the act for all to see. It was like that "How dare you!!" look..

It was unbelievable... And I was the bad guy for not wanting to let my ears ring painfully and for not tolerating improper behavior.

Yeah, I love when bad parents get mad at others when they call them out on their shitty parenting.

You shoulda said "SHut that kid up, or I will".

At least that way, even if she didn't stop the kid, she woulda moved to the other side of the bus in fear.

just give them the "Jesus spanked his children so should you" line.

There is a test to make sure you can drive so there should be a test to be a parent as well. 😉

They could even make it true and false and half the parents would still fail it.

If that wasn't a joke then na. Saying that would've been as outta line as she was. And I don't stoop. Although I felt like saying that I believe that a man should be a gentleman in public, "thanks to having being told that by my mother" I blame her for that, if you will.. But all i wanted was for the kid to at least quiet down, not to really put her out there.
