Little kids, no supervision

[teigyr]

From my experience, though I'm not a parent, I've noticed a lot of people just don't want to be bothered. When I worked with the public, we would try to let parents know if their children were doing dangerous things or if they were being a bothersome and a lot of parents were annoyed that they were approached.

How often have you been on a plane or something (sorry, this is my scope of existence) and a kid is kicking a seat or playing with the tray table and the parents do nothing? I realize that there is a difference between annoyances and danger but it is the same obliviousness going on.

The really scary thing is when you can't even tell who the parents are! Sheesh, I look after my bike or cats better than that

I was always a very proactive parent. My noisy obnoxious kids did not
run free through the restaurant .. or if they did, I caught up with them quick.
There was one exception. We took a train down to Mid California (From seattle). The train was 12 hours late, we were routed to a track which had a top speed of 25 miles per hour.... After a while, I just could NOT continue to chase my kids down and yell at them. It was just too too long, I was way too tired. . . People probably thought i was a bad parent, but kids NEED to run and jump and yell.. and they did.
