I was sitting in the Austin airport Friday night and a lady with a 4 year old and a 2 year old were coming down the walkway. Mom was on the phone, 4 year old was running around her in circles screaming "I want ice cream". 2 year old was 10 feet behind screaming at the top of her lungs.
Did I mention mom was on the phone? Completely ignoring both her kids? Letting the rest of society be punished by her lack of whatever it is that makes you ignore your kids in public?
They sat in the row of chairs directly behind me. Mom was still on the phone.
I felt the spider monkey coming so I moved.
Bottom line - if you have kids, take care of them. If you don't want to take care of your kids and raise them to be polite, contributing members of society - give them to someone who will.
