Situation: We're all sitting around playing cards on vacation. The kid (10) doesn't want us to keep playing what we're playing b/c he is too young to understand the game and can't play. We're having a great time and don't plan on switching games. He is muttering to his mother and whining.
Me: Why don't you go play with the other kids, we're having a good time here and aren't swapping games right now so that the kids can play.
Him: (hanging onto his mother and glaring at me) Shut up
Me: Excuse me??
Him: (Softer, but clearly) Shut up
Me: It's extremely rude to tell anyone to shut up, much less an adult. You should apologize.
Him: Shut up
His parents said his name a couple of times during all of this. Like, "Christian..." but never took disciplinary action. WTF is wrong with them???
Me: Okay, I've had enough of this....................:HOLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAA:
After that it all went downhill.......
I could have simply just gotten up and left, I mean, after all, he is only 10 years old. But the way that he was glaring and being a complete b*stage, really got me fired up. I just couldn't walk away from the situation allowing him to think that it's acceptable behavior and or that it would be tolerated.
Oh my goodness! I have the same problem with my brother in law's kids. Their terrible. My nephew kicked me in my shin because I wouldn't give him candy so natural reaction I kicked him back and told him you don't kick people. So he does it again...so I spank him and told him don't do it again. So my sister in law gets mad at me because she doesn't see him do anything and took him home. After finding out the whole story she apologize to me and now they tell my nephew if he's bad that aunt kelley is going to come get him.
But they really need to get a handle on those kids. Their three and half and two.
