[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's rude. Just as it's rude to ask little kids other personal things like what their parents do or things like that.[/quote]

What is rude about asking a kid what his/her parent(s) does (do)? Is a 7th grader "little"? I ask my kid's friends what their parents do - nothing rude asking what mom/dad does. [/quote]

What is the relevance of such information unless asked in the context of a specific subject?[/quote]

Some parents don't want their kids playing with the wrong kind of peoples children.  I have an employer that employs a wide variety of people ranging from GED holders to Doctorates, I can name my employer in a way that makes my job sound like I only finished high school or have a GED (like several of my closest friends) rather than having a Doctorate.  My kids proudly said who I work for in their terms once and those terms implied a high school diploma at best, I realized that I could use it myself. So now when stuck talking with someone that is all about status I use my kids description and they will chew their leg off to get away from me to find someone of the proper status to be seen with. Some of my friends find it hysterical and it has gotten me away from so many Jerks over the years.  The best part though is when other friends come buy to tell me that the guy who walked off thought I was a ??????, and was shocked to find out what I really do.  Most of those people are smart enough to keep their distance, but some are such desperate status seekers that they actually end up trying to engage me in conversation again, unfortunately I have never found time for those people.

The one thing I am careful about is not doing this to a parent whose children my kids really like playing with.  One time the parent actually walked away then went over and pulled their child aside and had their child go play with a different group of kids where my child was not.  Luckily this was just kids who really did not know each other playing together for a few hours. [/quote]
