No dear what’s truly shameful is people like you who allow their children to rule and want and ask for things that are not for them and you allow them to have it. No dear it is you who should be ashamed of yourself for being so ignorant, angry and self-centered and controlled by your children instead of doing the right thing and telling them NO!!! —I’m not ashamed one bit.

A very valid b*tch. Children’s reactions to having their behavior corrected shouldn’t reduce parents into quivering piles of Jello. If you don’t rein in those little monsters from the get go, the rest of the world will eventually be stuck with a bunch of spoiled & self-centred adult buttheads.
Children know not to fuck around with Ghost Jesus…
It’s not the kids who are the problem. It’s their pathetic parents who fetishize them and idolize them. It ultimately causes the children stress as they get older because they can never live up to their parents’ expectations.
George Carlin calls it child worship:

This is slightly off topic but relatable I think. There was a documentary on CBC a few years ago when my oldest was still a toddler about helicopter parenting. The family they were interviewing at the start of the documentary were talking about their daughter’s first birthday party. They were spending several thousand dollars on a party for her. To celebrate the (in their words) ACHIEVEMENT of turning one. Uhhhh….. what? Congratulations, you were born in Canada where infant mortality rates are at an all-time low? How is that an achievement on the child’s part?
This brings me to my point, sort of. A child who is treated as though reaching their first birthday is some sort of achievement that they are in any way responsible for is doomed from the get-go. What is wrong with parents these days that they treat every little milestone and minor accomplishment as if their child was the first to ever do it? I don’t get it. We’re overparenting and raising a generation of coddled morons.
