I took my daughter to the carnival tonight (she rode her first adult ride this year!) and as we were leaving, I saw a couple walking in with their son and as we walked by the boy, who looked to be about 4 years old, saw the bouncy castle and exclaimed "a bouncy castle!" with the usual amount of 4 year old excitement in his voice. As he did that he tried to point but since he was holding his mom's hand his hand "pulled" her arm forward. I guess she didn't like this because her immediate reaction was to roughly pull him back, make a MEAN face and whisper-yell "if you start getting crazy we're going RIGHT BACK HOME."I see this stuff everywhere and it's making me really sad lately. Parents not at all empathizing with (or understanding) their kids and just being mean to them.No wonder everyone's broken. Our own parents break us down right from the start. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/28XAeKB
