Childish parents

Jun 08, 2010 22:01

The other day I was in the public library to access the internet on my laptop. I was sitting at a table and a mother with two young children came along. The mother was accessing the library database and the children were rolling around on the floor, climbing on the couches and giggling to each other. The mother, of course, tried to tell ( Read more... )

It's not your egocentric view of not wanting their child to "bother you", it's probably that they don't want some creepy neonazi looking young male to have anything to do with their child.

If I saw someone like you smiling at my two playing children, I would probably be overcome with anger. Working with abused children is a tragic eye opener and parents need to wise up. It seems like the only fear these parents foolishly exhibit is their inability to tell you to piss off.

Not really. If you Brian gets a rise out of my response, that's his business. I present a fair fucking view from personal insight, however.

Your view is about as fair and insightful as Bill O'Reilly's bulging neck veins.

Minus the totally unnecessary hostile tone of your comment, what it sounds like you're trying to say is something like "it's possible that those parents were under the impression that your enjoyment of the presence of their children was sexual in nature. I think this because if I were a parent, I would be very quick to judge other people by their appearances. I would be hostile to strangers and restrictive to my children because my experience with children who have been abused has led me into a position of general distrust."

However you wish to say it, I would not disagree with you. I don't doubt that whoever you are might see me as an evil bald shining devil come to rape your children. I also wouldn't doubt that many of the horrible things that you see in the world (such as evil bald shining devils come to rape your children) aren't actually real.

Sounds like we both think of each other as ignorant. No doubt you've been around for twenty some years, but do you ever wonder how much you have really lived and experienced?

Enjoy your bliss.

I don't think you're MORE ignorant of the nature of the world than myself necessarily. But from the past few comments you've made, it does seem to me that you may be ignorant of the fact that the world is not just one way, and that multiple different views of the world can be equally true and equally false, just in different ways. We don't necessarily see the world "the way it is", we more often see the world the way WE are ( ... )
