Kids

[DrPepper]

It appears your BFF has very questionable taste in people.

What’s the most you’ve done for your kids?


I shorted a vacation by 2 days and flew out of a place 4 hours away because of my daughter National dance competition. But hey, ended with a credit voucher for next time!

Waiting to get my haircut. There's a kid here with his mom, I'm guessing 5 years old. Keeps yelling and screaming often at the highest pitch possible. Mother says nothing.

Kids running around stomping his feet now. Mother still ignoring it.

I let my kids be wild at home, but in public i stop that shit real quick (and they know better by now). Hate parents who let their young kids act like idiots in public.

You should say, “excuse me ma’am, but do you mind leashing that thing? Maybe even muzzle it too?”


If she acts offended, just say, “my bad, thought this was the dogs thread.”

i wonder how much of it is parents inadvertently toning out their own kids’ bs just cuz they’re so used to it

Definitely probably true for some. Others i think simply don't give a shit that their kids might possibly be bothering someone else.

no doubt a millennial or gen-z parent. probably busy updating their on-line status.

[ousdahl]

wonder where they got it from?

[MICHHAWK]

kids are wonderful by the way.

except this was a phenomenon prior to millennials or genz-ers even being born

but don’t let that stop you

And, it's a pretty safe bet given the age of the child and the biology of reproductive years.

Not too many 50+ women or under 10 year old girls with 5 year old children.

Here is my thought process about visiting Kentucky.

1. Nashville is in Kentucky, so sure!
2. Wait, Nashville is in Tennessee.
3. I'm a no on Kentucky.

I interviewed at ETSU. Not only did Nashville feel like a world away, which it was, I thought I entered a time machine, went back in time, and then arrived on a different planet. If Kentucky is at all like Eastern Tennessee, it's not for me, I'm a hard pass.

Man. Much of my dad’s side of the far is a buncha backwoods hillbillies in the smoky mountains of eastern TN.

I’ve only been once, like 30 years ago for my great grandpa’s funeral. I remember it being so cool though.

For whatever reason, my dad won’t go back with me though. Not sure why, whether he has some personal hangup or just cuz he’s that stubborn or what.

I have an uncle there who apparently has his hand in moonshining. I mentioned I wanted to hang with him. That might be why my dad doesn’t want me going back.

Bourbon Trail, the Derby, Muhammad Ali museum.

In other words, a nice weekend visit once a lifetime.

Spent a couple weeks total in Knoxville for work. Wow, and that's one of their nicer places.
