3 mountain dews and a lucozade please

[Golf1.6]

Was at sainsubrys yesterday at the kiosk for stamps.

Guy in front of me had his 3 kids. He got himself a packet of cigarettes and let his kids pick the drinks they wanted.

Two older twins (no more than year 1-2 at school) picked out mountain dews. The younger kid picked up lucozade.

I'm dead certain that the kids picked the drinks for themselves and have bought them in the past two.

Knowing parents they're highly. HIGHLY defensive. if you critique them they don't take it easy and will lash out at you. So I just let it slide.

What would you have done?

I'd have done **** all and minded my own business.

What would you have done?

Not a damn thing because it's non of my business how folks choose to raise their brood.

I think the question on everyone's mind is what would Brian Boitano do?

Bad parents will be bad parents, as long as they're not breaking the law or abusing their children somehow, there's nothing you can/should do.

This, they are his kids and if thats what he wants to shove down their throats then let him.

 

[matthab]

Id just have some satisfaction that those kids will be hyper till the early hours. Apart from that mind my own business.

 

[touch]

What would you have done?

Buy stamps online.

What would you have done?

Told my mum

 

[Raymond Lin]

The two/too there bothered me more than the children drinking caffeinated sugar pop.

I think this is the first thread I have read in a while where I agree with every post.

I'd have called social services, disgusting behaviour from their parents!

No, wait a minute I'd have done **** all as it's none of my business what people feed their kids even if it's quite obvious they're breeding a family of whales.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Exactly this.

3 salchow's and a triple lutz while wearing a blindfold?

Use his magical firebreath?

Beat up Kublai Khan?

[sarcasm]I would have totally lost my temper at the parent for being so stupid buying sugar-loaded caffeinated energy drink[/sarcasm]

Honestly, I would have payed for my stamps and walked away with the smug feeling of somebody who won't have to deal with hyperactive kids for the next few hours.

Did this honestly annoy you that much OP that you had to ask what everyone else would have done? If so you really need to get a grip
