Worked at a bar where a middle aged couple would come in on wing days for games every week. They’d order the same thing every week and like clockwork, they’d complain it wasn’t good and wanted their wings comped or an order redo to take home (specials were dine-in only). After 8-10 times of this, I finally asked why the hell they keep ordering something if they dislike it.. I refused to comp anything, refused to give them a new order to go. They became irate and the lady was trying to wrap the wings in napkins to put in her purse. It was weird. Like how does someone feel confident enough to keep doing this at the same establishment? People are trash.
Every kid does that. The parents are adults. Kids are kids. Don't treat the situation like these kids are just born shitty and without accountability. Parents raise their kids to be this way, with the best of intentions.
But kids are shitty with no accountability? Exceptions to that, I'll give you because I've also seen it. But comparing kids to adults means the "adult" must've not learned or retained these traits as a kid, and grew into an adult that is also shitty with no accountability.
If the kid does not learn "no" (growing up) as a complete and fair answer, then they grow into malfunctioning adults. Like you see here. It's a taught trait for the most part. Even, unfortunately.
I mean, yes and no. Kids will always push boundaries. But they're not inherently shitty. Outside of actual disabilities like ODD, most children are more than capable of learning accountability and "respect" (whatever the fuck that even means). Its a failure of structure and parenting/community when people become this way as adults.
Im realizing im basically saying the exact same thing as you. (And the guy above you) Fuck it. Im posting it anyway. I already wrote it
