[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watched an interaction at the park with a friend, and friend suggested there are two types of parents.

A boy about 6 was being annoying to another boy about 9. They were there together with one woman, though I doubt they were brothers. Maybe cousins? The 6yo was pestering and otherwise being physically annoying to the 9yo, and the 9yo kept telling him to stop, leave him alone, and when he didn’t, he shoved the 6yo and the boy misstepped backwards and plopped on his butt. The woman with them witnessed it and then reprimanded the 9yo, telling him, you shouldn’t do that, he’s smaller than you, you shouldn’t be shoving him.

My friend and I almost simultaneously said to each other, well then, don’t pick on someone bigger than you!

My friend was like, there are two types of parents: ones who think like this woman, and ones who think like us. We discussed how you can tell which adults were raised by the “he’s smaller than you!” moms, and who was raised by the “don’t pick on someone bigger than you” moms.

What do you think?[/quote]

I think its silly to be gossiping and speculating about two young kids and their dynamics! There are two kinds of people, ones who ignore such things in public because none of ya business and others that go on and make online posts about it. :P
