[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's terrible and uncivil. Dd11 has taken to child hating despite being one herself so it's a thing. She says little kids make her uncomfortable and they should go away. I don't understand at all and talked to her but dh said she was just going through some phase. I don't like anyone hating on kids (especially a kid!). I think they're just dealing with being awkward, angtsy and trying to act tough.[/quote]

I think for an 11 year old it's about establishing boundaries between yourself and younger kids and making it clear that you're more grownup. It's basically drive by the natural insecurity of being still seen as a kid when you're growing up. It reminds me of the moronic anti-Barney stuff that was hilarious to middle schoolers when I was one; put up your screensaver where Barney dies and we know you're edgy and grownup.

I do expect a little better out of anyone old enough to drive. By that point you should be more secure in these things.[/quote]

Why do you think it matters or anyone cares what you “expect?” If you don’t like it, don’t put it on your own car. Done.[/quote]
