maleficent

I wouldn't dream of telling a parent what I think of how their little heathen.. i mean darling is behaving - but lately -- it's been so rare that I see children behaving properly (and I don't expect a little soldier to sit there with their hands folded on their lap not saying a word) the little darling can speak -- no screaming - no tantrums - no getting up and walking around.

I was on a flight not all that long ago.. and there was a child seated next to me-- kid must of been about 5 or 6. mom and dad with the two other kids were two rows ahead of her. (I guess Iw as the trustworthy old lady that it's ok to sit kids next to) This child said please, thank you, and was actually almost conversant -- I handed her a deck of cards I had in my bag... and she kept herself -- and me --- entertained thru the whole flight.

I complimented her parents on what a well behaved child she was - and I swear I thought they were thinking i was going to be insulting, and say what a brat she was... She was a good kid. There are good well behaved kids out there... Just lately -- it's rare. I wasn't being condescending or insulting when I said it - it was just an absolute pleasure to be around a good kid.

With my own little shit nieces and nephews - these kids are brats... Over indulged, spoiled brats. and they are now at the age they are old enough to know better. My nephew has been disinvited from one of his little friends house because he just can't behave himself... (my sister thinks the little friends mother is unreasonable.) My sisters brats have been banned from not one but two ice cream places near their vacation spot in North Caroline because the kids are brats... My sister doesn't see what they do wrong... :eyeroll: I've asked to take the kids for a weekend -but I'm not responsible enough to babysit the children for a weekend...
