Is there anything more frustrating than an entitled parent? Oh right, their kids.

Ok so yes, I’ve stated on here many times that I’m not a kid person. Highly doubt I’ll ever want to have one of my own, and other than reproducing to replace yourself, I think people should then focus on adopting children if they want more. Population control people, learn it, think it, do it.

There are many, many reasons that I do not want to have children, and right now I’m going to discuss one of those reasons. To put it simply, I do not want to be lumped into a group called “parents”. Specifically, the entitled, whiny, bratty kind. You know the ones I’m talking about. They let their kids run amok in stores, they let their dirty kids touch strangers’ hair (I have long and kids are attracted to it like a moth to a flame). These types of parents think their kids can do no wrong even if they shit on the floor in a grocery store (not a true story). These could be the type that talk about their offspring non-stop on facebook; I mean really, I love my dog a lot but you don’t see me telling others how his shit was today do you?

So today in the Windsor Star comes a highly entertaining story about these entitled parents. The parents attended a track and field meet and were told beforehand that if they parked illegally they would be ticketed. Well la-di-da guess what happened? They parked illegally, along the side of a major road, near a freaking gas plant no less and they got ticketed. Then they got mad. Mad for getting a ticket they deserved.
Here’s their rational:

“I just thought it was pretty crappy — the economy the way it is, people lose their jobs, the big CUPE strike in the summertime. The kids missed half of their community centre events. These kids work hard and parents take time out of their day to come and see their kids run, and then there’s some guy ticketing your vehicle. I think it’s low.”

That’s right people, because there was a strike that ended over 2 months ago, they should be allowed to park illegally. Because we have a shitty economy, they should be able to park illegally. Yup yup. Most likely these fat asses didn’t want to walk an extra 2 min, and trust me, most of them could use some walking. The tickets they were given were around $30 too and they’re complaining. They were warned in advance, the kids were given notes to take home, the newspaper even warned them in an article and yet, not only did they not listen to the warning, they believe that parking illegally is just alright for them. These are probably the same lazy people who need family parking spaces at the mall. Or who will drive around for 40 minutes at the mall just to get a front spot, I mean heaven forbid you walk! I’d love to see these people live in a big city, where walking and taking transit is encouraged!

Yes, entitled parents, you and your offspring are truly an inspiration to society. I cannot wait to see how they grow up.
