It seems like te stupidest thing to me. Why are you going to attack someone who has politely asked you and/or your child to behave themselves or at least stop actively doing something harmful
Why the hell would they disincentivize their kids when someone has just given them an out to have a teachable moment and possibly nudge their kid behave better and possibly for the parent?
Some people respond to correction by lashing out. That’s true for literally everything. Telling them you can’t smoke there, not washing their hands is gross, you need to take off your shoes in my house, etc.
“Get your car out of the bike lane” gets 'em real mad every time.
Also, ‘wear a mask’
Maybe the kid has ADHD level 2 and the parents are doing absolutely everything humanly possible already?
/parent to a level 2 ADHD kid
I don’t think that’s the scenario we’re talking about here.
I went undiagnosed for nearly 40 years and now I have three with very different levels and styles of ADHD.
There’s a difference between cutting the kids some slack because they are neurodivergent (hopefully they are still being held accountable and are being taught that they can’t do whatever they want without consequences) and reacting with “That’s impossible! My sweet baby would NEVER do that! You must be lying!” anytime you learn about what they’ve done.
Crappy parents are probably aware that their kid is a bit shit and feel insecure about their parenting. Insecure people often lash out when given criticism while someone more confident would be able to learn rather than take it as a personal attack.
No because they literally are the first on the scene to throw a fit and they have done nothing at all to instruct the children.
They are almost seeming like they are pissed off because thr kids were self-conscious and stopped and they hate that. She also clearly gets off on the bothering part
Its like “let them play and screech in the hallway like its a jungle gym i could otherwise get off my fussock-y ass and take them to”
You answered your own question. They are crappy. When you identify how their kid is misbehaving it is a challenge to the parents.
Now a big part of this is how you couch and present your correction.
I honestly don’t know. If my kids are getting a raw deal, I’ll stick up for them, but if they are facing consequences for their own intentional actions, they earned those.
Kids who get away with anything won’t stop doing anything.
The answer to your question is the 3rd and 4th words of the title.
