(16,380 posts)And she would be the first one to agree with the OP that obnoxious bratty kids with oblivious or even enabling parents suck.
That some would get so outraged over that premise is odd.
I was at a summer work party and a co worker brought her two very entitled boys along with her and her husband. They were around 11 and 13.
They got on a schtick where they were going around to all of the adults pretending to be waiters. And then demanding tips. People would say "no thank you" politely but they were being really aggressive and getting in your face. Over and over and over and over.
Mom of course thought their behavior was just adorable. They were interrupting conversations with their cute little game. And neither Mom nor Dad did a thing.
It would have been such a no brainer as a parent to be aware of other peoples reaction to your kids and tell them to knock it off. But that didn't happen. Finally one of my less tolerant co-workers said loudly something like "No and stop bothering people" And of course Mom and Dad were pissed. At my co-worker. Not their brats.
So yeah as far as a situation like this goes, I am totally on board with the OP.
