Misbehaving Kids & Bad Parents
Well today was one of those days, where you wish social norms would let you speak out. I have put up with misbehaving kids, on planes in cinemas at the supermarket and the list goes on. Normally I grin and bear it knowing that it will be over soon, and I take pity on a mother all alone dealing with a kid playing up. Well come to this afternoon, I headed down the local supermarket to get food (yes even I need that stuff) and was happily shopping until it started. There was a young boy maybe 5 or 6 in the trolley, and he was screaming. I don't mean crying I mean screaming at the top of his lungs. Both mum and dad seemed oblivious. 20 minutes later and its still going on. I wanted to go up to the couple and ask one of them to remove him from the store. Even the supermarket staff tried to calm him and that didn't work. Why the hell one of the parents didn't remove him from the situation is beyond me. The parents acted as though...
