We have all seen them—bratty kids, whose parents will not step up and tell their kids to behave. It is not the child’s fault. They are too young to understand or have not been taught how to behave.
Parents need to teach their kids to respect other people’s space and boundaries. We live in a civilized society, but you wouldn’t know it when you see how some kids behave with they are out and about.
A mother I know was at the park. Jules ran into another family who attended the same school as her kids. The mother was really nice. She had a good professional job and seemed switched on until it came to her kids. Two of her kids were throwing rocks at a toddler. She saw it and did nothing to stop their behaviour. Jules finally said, “Aren’t you going to tell them to stop throwing rocks?” The children were being taught by their parents that it was OK to behave like savages.

My friend’s kid is a total brat. I will say one of these, want to say something but not loose the friendship.
Good luck with that Phoebe! I hope they have nothing more to do with you. Learn some empathy.
Empathy is NOT for bratty kids and their annoying snotty parents.To hell with them all!
I know right?!
