I just kinda listened to a conversation yesterday while waiting to get back home. Some women were discussing their brats/grandbrats - specifically, the causes of various tantrums. I loathe pretty much everything about kids, but this just reminded me of one particular trait that makes me see red: fucking WHINING and screaming over completely inane shit. Just hearing about these kids made me want to go have a stiff drink and punch something.
One case was something like the kid had a shit fit because its drink was the wrong color, and another whined and stomped around because they didn't get a snack, despite having been offered one that they refused. Another story was about a kid that colored all over an apple slice with a marker and then screamed bloody murder because Moo or Duh threw the slice away instead of saving it.
Why do kids have to throw atomic screaming tantrums over absolutely
nothing? Why is everything such a big goddamn deal? I know little kids don't understand much beyond their own little world, but throwing an hour-long tantrum because their Kool-Aid was red instead of blue? I would fucking kill something or someone if I had to deal with that crap day in and day out.
I think it's just because
1) kids are selfish and only care about ME ME ME I WANT I WANT I WANT, and
2) most of them have absolutely no real problems. Based on things I've heard and read, kids who are raised by abusive or neglectful parents don't seem to whine about stupid shit much. I assume that's because it doesn't matter what flavor your Capri Sun is when Mommy beats your ass every day or your big brother molests you in the bathroom.
Plus I get that kids will bitch about
everything when they're tired and cranky. Adults do that too sometimes. Some kids don't even outgrow the whining when they're toadlers either - they keep doing it long into their childhoods, probably because their idiot handlers never taught them to shut up, or never used the line, "
You stop that crying or I'll give you something to cry about?" I remember being in grade school like in fourth grade or so, and there was this snotty little cunt in my class that would always go
"doooooooooon't-TUH!" anytime anyone did something she didn't like. I was no angel as a kid either, but even at that age, I wanted to stick my foot down her throat for being so goddamn irritating. That is the only thing I remember about that little bitch.
Nothing makes me ragey like kid whining and (usual) subsequent crying because 99 percent of the time, it's for no good fuckin' reason. And, of course, awtards are even worse, kicking and screaming and going on for hours because their French fries touched their chicken nuggets. Not sure why I posted this. Just kinda yakking. I have a feeling I'm not the only one who hates the whining shit.
