I don't have an edit button, and I have little patience outside of work for people who think they own the world and my personal space. I would have called that twat out quite loudly. "And you need to teach your children how to follow rules on other people's property. Or he's gonna go to jail one day for assault."

Then there was the woman who came up to the table while I was holding my older dog (oh I have a new puppy btw) My dog is only 12 lbs but the woman actually said "oh,,it's not going to growl and bite me is it?" She was serious … and I was not about to put the dog down or get it near her. If she she was afraid then I would not let my dog invade her space. It's what you call... consideration and manners... like my parents taught me.

You'd 'better' learn to be kinder to children? What a nasty old cow. How about if she teaches her brat some manners?Quote

Our dog went to dog heaven a couple of years ago, but I occasionally babysit a friend's dog. My dog was a large dog (lab) and my friend has a lab. When I'm walking the dog, I have control of the dog. I never allow my dog to sniff someone unless they ask to pet the dog. I often go to the side of the path and let people walk by.
I'm a dog lover but I can't stand bratty dogs any more than I can stand bratty kids. I don't like to go to people's houses where their dogs are constantly jumping over you. Biting is unacceptable. DH's aunt seems to always have bratty small dog that bites people, growls at people, and isn't potty trained. Totally the owner's fault. If you are going to have a dog you need to put in the time and effort to train the dog.

If he uses a wrong-gendered toy it might suppress his testosterone and then he'd stop hitting people with toys, and we can't have that!

Did you just assume that toy's gender? ROFL!
(I'm trans, I'm not bashing. LOL!)
But honestly that IS how parents act about their kids and their toys. If it isn't saturated in pink, little ashleighleeey can't have it or she will grow a penis. A little boy can't have an easy bake without turning into the cast of queer-eye. It's really stupid, they're just toys! I played with hot wheels as a girl-child and I turned out fine. Don't tell the fundies though, they don't consider transgender "fine". ROFL!

This so much! I had a huge case of Hot Wheels and a neat foldable car garage set when I was a kid. It was my favorite toy, but one day my mom came into my room and just took it all away from me. I couldn't understand, I used it and I liked it why couldn't I keep it. Her response was it wasn't a girl's toy and I was too old for it now. I think I was 8 or 9. I was extremely unhappy, but I managed to let her let me keep a couple favorite cars. After that it was all boring Barbies and baby dolls.

sort of reminds me years ago I bought a nice bicycle at a yard sale. 12 speed for around 25 dollars. happened to be a mens style (womens style is a hangover from the era of long and large skirts). My ex actually bitched at me 'why didn't you get a gurlz bike'). Could be a total jackass at times.
I think I educated him as to the reason for 'gurlz bikes'.

I'm sorry that happened, Yurble.

You've got the wrong person - that was demonkitten. My parents were quite against gendered toys.
