I’ve seen Little Miss Sunshine too and it provoked the same mood swings in me.
About the kids I agree with you that there are too many bad parents who don’t care.

Mel, I can so relate. I had a day like that yesterday and it’s effects have carried over. And I agree about the children at the park.

To Miss Kris -
While I agree that indeed basic manners are being neglected in homes, it isn’t necessarily because parents work, which is what I assume you meant when you said “when are parents home lone enough to teach them”.

It is possible to work and raise decent, respectful children. Happens all the time. Being home does not always equate to spending time with the kids, not in all families.

(Pardon my prickle, I get tired of the working parent bashing. I had an at-home mom and I did serious drugs and a various assortment of other naughty things. Fat lot of good it did me to have mom home.)

Just where are you shopping to find the Pampered Chef dealio? Bellevue? I think I need to hit up our Value Village – HELLO!!

As per the snotty kids, I often want to slap the haughty looks off their faces, but what can you do? I mean, legally, NOTHING! Just forgetaboutit! Good for you for taking your kids elsewhere…..I would have done the exact same thing!

GAH!! You got a PC Deep-dish baker for $1.99?!? Holy cats, woman! I grovel at your feet.

I would’ve said the same thing to those ratty, bratty prats. I might’ve even gone a step further and offered to find their parents for them and find out just why they seem to have forgotten their manners. Of course, I probably wouldn’t have, because I am also aware that many parents encourage this sort of “freedom” and “out-of-the-box” thinking in their children by refusing to impose discipline on them. BLEAH!!

Try working for the public schools. When I worked as a lunch lady I got along great with the kids but my boss was manic depressive and on her bad days she could really bring out the raunchy behavior in our middle schoolers. Many was the time they’d look at her and say “F— you!” and there isn’t ANYTHING you can do about it. So many teachers were burnt out but kept going…they said it’d take 20 minutes out of a 40 minute class period to get the kids to settle down enough just to get role taken…and there was nothing the teachers could do about it, either. The basic decency ethics are woefully neglected in homes, but then again — when are parents home long enough to teach them??? This society’s going to pay more and more with each generation that comes along. Scary thought.

Oooooh, I can’t stand kids like that. Parents? Evidently they didn’t have any, or they wouldn’t have acted that way.
