Here is your Binky

Is it just me, or do Adults whine and complain more than children these days? Or is it in just the general area where I live? People think that that because they paid money (the same money as others) that it entitles them to some sort of special treatment.

In general my children are excellent kids. However, they get loud and fidgety after some time, and I have to often remind them of their manners. I was reading something recently that upset me. We have a woman ranting about people with children should not be able to fly with childless adults because they are obnoxious.

In today’s world half the adults are more obnoxious than the children. What makes you think you are entitled to different treatment for the same money? You want special treatment, buy first class. People need to learn some compassion. We live in a world today where neurological disorders are rampant in children. You cannot just assume that person is a bad parent and the child is out of control. Perhaps the child has ODD, or perhaps that loud child has hearing issues, things you cannot visibly see.

 

PS, if you missed the memo segregation went out long ago, perhaps people find your whining obnoxious. I am sorry you weren’t born rich enough to have your own jet, but why should we have to put up with your whining. Children can’t help how they act, as an adult, you are choosing to be a jerk, and in my book that’s much, much, worse.

We teach or children, “you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit.” But we have whining adults shag our ear off with complaints. You tell me who the real jerk is. Did you really think you were going to go out in general public and not encounter a child! That a child is not to act like a child on a long trip? To be honest as an adult the child is acting more mature than you.

I would rather ride in a plane with a child acting like a child, than ride with an adult acting like a total arse. It’s not all about you. Did it ever occur to you that maybe the child is just following the example you set? Here’s your binky.

 Sincerely, Buy some earplugs, or your own personal jet.
