Things That Irritate the Shit Out of Me, Volume: Child Discipline

 Is it Okay to Discipline Other People's Children?

One of my biggest pet peeves is when others feel the need to jump in and discipline children that are not their own. To me, it's crossing the line and should never occur, ever. If they're being disrespectful or not listening to their parents, it's not your place to jump in and try to fix things. Let them deal with it, as it's their children and doesn't involve YOU.

Now, family is one thing - but I'm talking about friends or complete strangers stepping in. Not teachers, school bus drivers - where it's their job to keep kids in line.

Let's say your niece is throwing a fit in a public place, and there's no way to calm the child down until you get out of where you currently are, as it's what's making her uncomfortable in the first place. Then say, a friend of yours jumps in to scold the young child who doesn't see the kid but maybe once in a blue moon.  

• One, it's not going to make them calm down.  
• Two, it's only going to make the matters worse, because they don't know who the fuck you are or why you're even trying to boss them around.

I know people see this as okay, back in the dirt road days - when it was completely normal to discipline neighbor kids or other random children who acted like little douches.

But, this is a new time, where there's more crime. You never know when a mommy will pull out a glock from her diaper bag and pop a cap in your ass for trying to take matters into your own hands. Granted we don't live in the hood, but you should never underestimate the power of crazy moms. They will maul your ass down during Xmas season just to get the newest fucking Elmo toy and won't even think twice.

Just Sayin.

Mind your own, or you may get punched in the face one day. I know I will if someone tries to "boss" my kids around when I actually decide to have them.
