When I was around 9 years old I mouthed off at my mom and she sat me in a chair in the middle of the room with the toys and the remote and the Super Nintendo and all the other stuff I'd normally have, only it was all just out of arm's reach.
-On the way from Chicago to Orlando, on the Disney flight, with several crying babies and little ones yapping and BY FAR the most annoying people were the 2 old hens behind me with a thick northern midwest accent(dontcha know) that talked every second we were on the plane. Like no breaks in action. Every single second on a 2.5 hour 7:30am flight. The 2 minutes a baby was crying was a damn relief.
-**** does happen and nature is involved but I still attribute a ton to parenting. I'm not cutting myself any slack there.
-IMO, best thing my parents did was make me get a job at 16, take me to get a checking account, and cosign on a credit card all at the same time. May be a unpaid, volunteer, etc but we're dead set on that with G.
-Guess we've never beat a top 15 SEC(3 games) opponent on the road under Cal, all pretty good margins, a win Saturday would change everything.

-cursed my mom (5'4" 100lbs) as a 13yo punk...she hit me with a frying pan. Had it coming. She once blacked my older brothers eye with a shoe from 10 paces, uphill after chasing him around the yard and hurdling a 4' fence. She was a great athlete and a better woman.
Eh. I've been out many, many times where a kid was crying, wailing, throwing a tantrum, etc. and the parents just ignored it and kept eating.
This also often occurs in other areas of public like grocery stores, etc.
Maybe parents just get immune to how irritating their kids are to other people and zone out completely.
You must frequent places that attract low-rent parents.
The thing about "well one kid turned out fine and the other one didn't" is that a lot of times the parents actually did suck. They were just middle class, lived in a nice area, and didn't go out of their way to be awful. Yeah, most kids will come out of that environment fine, but a few straying from the routine is to be expected when you hope the environment does most of the parenting.
- I was being a smartass, playing with a ball and paddle close to my Mom's face while she was on the phone. She hung up, grabbed it from me, ripped the ball and string off and broke the paddle over my *** in what felt like one single motion. Love you, Mom!

Kids are going to cry -- Just don't be the parent that lets your kid kick the **** out of the seat in front of them for the entire flight. I've had to raise up, turn aound, and address this more than once, and while awkward, it simply had to be done.
Congrats to everyone on raising the leaders of tomorrow. We are amazing.
No. False. Hell I was just at Disney Animal Kingdom, with 10,00 kids and didn't experience this. You're the problem.
I had them on at 75% watching a movie. Honestly, one of the worst flight experiences.
Gotta watch it, this happened with a little girl being loud and kicking my seat on a flight recently, I was biting my tongue, then we get to baggage claim I realize her Mom was deaf and the kid obviously special needs.
Tell you one thing I've noticed that has certainly changed in generations is the accepted notion of calling adults, of all ages, by their first names. Even teachers, coaches, etc.
My daughter's friends do this, 12 and 13 year olds...it doesn't make them bad kids, actually, most are very well mannered but somewhere along the way the Mr and Mrs ____________ just went out the door. I still make my daughter do it and she thinks I'm being ridiculous.
I don't even remember knowing most of my friend's parent's first names, tbh.

Eh, I'll take my chances on that & trust in my ability to judge the situation, yours was obviously incredibly rare. I always give several obvious 'raise up and peek behind' warnings to Mom/Dad before taking action.
In my most recent instance, the mom was listening to Hip Hop on ****** headphones that 1/3 of the cabin could hear and child was playing on his IPAD. Think he was playing a game where you get points every time you kick the **** out of my seat.

Would be pretty rare but I'm glad I didn't. Would've most likely ended up in a dark corner of hell for that one.
You're already going to hell for making fun of a cancer survivor, I'd say go ahead and make a move next time you're in that situation and enjoy the rest of your flight!
Yes, it's everywhere. Really bothers me and I try to correct it every chance I get. But it's so prevalent and commonplace, it's like swimming against the current to make them use Mr. and Mrs. these days. And many parents seem to welcome it, which doesn't make it any easier to teach them properly.
Just hope I've drilled it into them enough to where they at least pause and think about it / use first names very rarely.
I don’t so much people calling me by my first name, just so long as they put Dr. In front.
Dr Bob
Dr Boat
Cool
Bob- eff off.

I'm almost 40 (a man), and I still feel awkward calling adults from my childhood (like Killa's mom, for example) by their first names, and usually still do not until I'm 'reprimanded'.
Otherwise known as Central Kentucky, I guess? That's a pretty frequent occurrence and has been since I can remember.
- Children calling adults by their first name is ridiculous. But little Avery and Caden are very mature for their age and eat from the adult menu at LockBox, so I guess it makes sense
Every single doctor I know I call Doc. No last name. It’s far from an insult, but you can forget about me calling a doctor Dr._____ every time I see him/her casually.
Eat **** if your ego needs that.

The new trend in education is for teachers to be called by their first name. I worked at a high school where they put my first and last name on the door to encourage students to call me by my first name.
They also bone their teachers now.
We have a friend who is really great about pretty much everything except corralling her 5 year old. He's a smart kid but good lord.
We were at a playground with them recently and the kid started forcing random kids to play "Cops and Robbers", pushing them against walls and asking them "why did you do it???" The other kids were obviously like wtf. Mom did nothing. It actually kind of disturbed me. I quietly apologized about the behavior to the other parents that were there out of feeling guilty by association.

Sounds like that kid is well on his way to being a real cop!
At least he didn't shoot them dead for no reason.
DOCTOR...............................OF LAW!

I called my inlaws Dr. (professor) and Mrs. until after we were married. They had to pretty much get pissed about it for me to stop. Still feels a bit weird to use their first names.
Calling your in-laws Mom or Dad would be awkward as hell.
Does anyone actually do that or is that just a trope?

Need some demographics on the playground before can judge.
You know this is how fur children establish order in the pack, right? By playing.
This. Any adult I came to know through my parents are Mr. or Mrs. until they explicitly tell me not to. Some insist, some just go with it prolly more for nostalgia sake which I like/am fine with as well. Hell, had that sitch come up today with a “Mr” getting doled out.
Have become “friends” with a few of my Dad’s friends in the years since he’s passed and those feel right calling by first name (after they insisted of course) other than that I’m fine with Mr and Mrs for all the others the rest of my life.
BIG TIME IE BIGGER THAN BRAX youth football and basketball coaching has opened my eyes, way too many calling me Coach Rex and not Coach Kwon Do....transitioning to full time of the latter. Too many adults trying to be “cool” to a bunch of utes and that’s a bad look.

You really need help for the anger you have at every walk of life. Go get a coloring book or something.
I still don’t even know how to address my FIL, I usually just wait until we make eye contact or I’m right beside him and start talking. I call him grandpa now because of my daughter which for some reason is much easier for me. My wife starting calling my parents mom and dad immediately without any issues.
