Re: Weird things people do
I've seen a little of that kind of behaviour, a parent verbally abusing a child in public, maybe while on a bus, and the kid is obviously quite embarassed, but I can't say I've given it a lot of thought, except to remark to the guy next to me that the poor kid is probably going to have a bad day.
One thing that does bother me is when I see a parent holding a baby in one arm and smoking a cigarette with her other hand. Now I ain't a self righteous non-smoker or anything, but that sort of behaviour borders on child abuse, imo.

Bad for momma to smoke while baby is in womb also.

Most times they will be talking in a belittling way to the child.
It is almost as though they are showing off and thinking this process is witty or cunning in some manner.
I've noticed that this behavior is almost always exclusive to the lower economic white women. Discuss...
Yeah I have seen that quite a bit...Always bothered me...People yelling at their kids in a belittling manner....Ignorance is what it is...They either do not realize it hurts the child and they will grow up to treat their child the same or worse OR they just do not care...
Re: Weird things people do
Do you agree with my demographic, lower class white woman? I see blacks yelling at their kids from time to time, but my feeling is that that is just how they communicate when frustrated or angry. They want the kids to behave while they are tending to their errand or task.
The activity I'm talking about is different; the parent is acting that way to be cute, impress or to entertain whatever stranger may be within earshot.

Don't get me wrong, I've seen little monsters that go ape shit in public as a power tactic over their embarrassed parent. These little beasts should be introduced to the bible passage "spare the rod, spoil the child" in a swift and conclusive manner.

I won't go as far to say it is lower class white women but lower class in general....It may just be you notice it more with the lower class white women because they seem to be becoming more and more frequent with it while the othwers have been doing it all along
Re: Weird things people do
I got a neighbor. Is young, like maybe 25. Is basically a baby factory. No idea how many kids, but the poor kids are already assholes at ages no older then 5. Because they mimic their mom. She comes out of the house at all hours of the day and will say things like "Get your stupid ass in the house. Idiot, don't do that! Fuck is wrong with you, you retarded?"
Not long ago, the little girl comes in our yard to pet my dog. I ask her of she wants to walk it, and she shakes her head smiling...meaning yes. I give her the leash and she takes my dog for a little walk down the street and brings it back. She's about 3 years old, 4 tops.
She smiles at me, kinda happy I guess...gives me the leash back and says, and I'm not totally sure..but nearly positive..."Thanks cunt." :headscratch:
Re: Weird things people do
Meh,I do it the way my mom did,depending on the amount of your name heard,you knew how much trouble you were about to get in to
First name=distracted and annoyed
First and middle name=Annoyed at you specifically
First middle and last name=Defcon 3,abort the mission lest disaster befall you
Seems to work fine with my kid

It's evolution at work, the kids smart enough to know when to stop their shenanigans get to live, the uppity ones get "put to sleep" as the veterinary jargon calls it. This way only the smarter gene is passed on to the future generations.
