Why are new parents such dickbags?

[Trip]

I want to post this on facebook, but I have so many new parent friends, that I would just get hammered with asinine comments by these dickbags...

Why does having a baby for two days automatically make them fucking experts on child raising? Congrats, you barely can call yourself a parent, you definitely are the best fucking parent ever you stupid douche. You totally have the right to call out other parents who have been doing it for freakin years.

Please, if I ever have kids and do this on facebook, kick me in the nuts.

Not aimed at anyone on here, it's some local people I know.

So you are afraid to post this on FB because some will disagree with you?


Even beyond your peeve, how about all of those people (here, FB, real life, wherever) that don't even have kids making comments about how others raise theirs, etc?

Well some of them on facebook don't do this, I am more afraid of upsetting some good friends/family that aren't doing this, than upsetting the dickbag ones. I have had a lot of friends and family that recently had children, my facebook page was filled with baby pics til I started ignoring a large portion of them.

As far as childless people, it depends on what they are ranting and raving about. Since I am childless, I don't like to put up with little bastard kids in adult locations, I can tolerate kids being there, but if the little dipshit is going beserk and you continue doing what you are doing like nothing is wrong, that will drive me a bit crazy. I understand some things you fully won't understand til you have to put up with the little bastards 24/7 though, but common courtesy is something we all should understand.

I have two kids, and I absolutely agree with you on this. Common courtesy is, unfortunately, not that common anymore. I don't mind if an infant/baby is crying as long as I can see the parent making a concerted effort to soothe the child or remove them from the situation. I know in some instances a parent's ability to do either is limited (on a plane, for instance.. can't get up and move around like we used to), but if I see them making an effort I might be a little bothered, but I probably won't say anything because I know sometimes that is outside of their control.

The ignoring the problem and letting a child run amok/throw a tantrum without making much or any effort? Or bringing a child that isn't old enough/behaved enough to a setting that requires proper behavior? That makes me want to choke a bitch. My kids are 7 and 5, they know "the look", and generally they are pretty well behaved in a public setting. Granted they're old enough and socialized enough now to know better than to act a fool in public, but sadly I have seen kids their age that are little fucking demons.

I def agree with that. Since I have 2 small crumbsuckers now I know we cannot or should not go to certain places, mostly restaurants, so were relegated to places like bennigans, fridays etc....

We went out sat night, turns out it was an insane wait and thomas was getting antsy, we wound up leaving before we even got a table. We know we have a narrow window of opportunity withthe kids and try to make the most of it. They are usualy prety good and we never had to get up and leave because of a tantrum. Sometimes I have to let thomas wander around but I am right behind him so hes not going up to other tables and bothering people.

Common courtesy. Yup, it's dead. Like all the people who have their cell phone ring tone cranked to 11, while in public places. Like the guy sitting next to me here at the dealership, while I'm waiting for my car, who has texts coming in 3x a minute with his ringer all the way up.

Good lord, I want to beat my old cube neighbor cause of the phone volume thing. Smartphones definitely have made some things worse and high volume + multiple notifications is one of them. Hearing birds chirping, DROIDDD!!, bells ringing, and piano playing 500 times a minute got really fucking annoying.

We're talking Android, with the Star Trek 'whistle' sound effect. Makes me wish for a crowbar.

I think the "DROOOOIDDD!!!!" is the worst....especially when its full-volume.

Also, equally annoying, is the Outlook meeting reminders that go off on iPads, iPhones, Android tablets, PC tablets, laptops, and desktop computers every 15 minutes throughout most of an office floor.
