Re: It is not society's job to raise your kids, people

[(Anonymous)]

OP

Thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt. That's basically exactly what happened. As I said in another reply, I wasn't talking to the kid, I was talking to my coworker and the kid happened to be nearby (and it turned out didn't even hear what I'd said, only heard the mother freaking out). If I'd realized this particular customer and kid were in the building I wouldn't have mentioned it at all, knowing what the mom is like. It was just her entitled attitude and the way she demanded I not discuss such subjects in front of her child that pissed me off. If she wants to shelter her kid from the evils of the world that's her right but she *doesn't* have the right to dictate what subjects other adults are allowed to discuss in public. If you don't want your kid to know that bad things happen in the world, then don't take them out into the world. Keep them at home locked in their room where you can control everything they're exposed to.

Your attitude about it is what is setting people off. If you didn't realize the kid was in the room, then the appropriate thing to do would be to say, "I'm sorry, I didn't see you come in," or something along those lines. Not freak out because OMG someone expects you to have sensitivity toward their child.

OP

I DID immediately say "I'm sorry" and drop the subject, though. I was perfectly civil about it and gave no indication to the woman or her kid how I felt, but it did annoy me, which is why I'm venting about it here.

Yeah and now we're all annoyed with your entitled complaints and asshole assumptions.

Grow up

No, it's your attitude and your entitlement people have a problem with.
Being told to stop talking about a recent elementary shooting around an elementary kid is hardly sheltering them. It's called sensitivity and tact. Something you apparently don't understand.

I'll make it simple. Someone not wanting their ELEMENTARY KID to not be worried about YET ANOTHER elementary shooting does not mean they're sheltering their kids from bad things ever.

If you don't want to be told off for being an ass in a public area kids will be going into, be professional and don't talk about school shootings in a workplace environment that fucking children will be in the vicinity.
