Re: Mini Rant about Unruly Kids
At the risk of being attacked, it
IS a swimming pool and your book was on the edge of the pool. I don't think it's an issue of respect, but more of an issue of finding a more appropriate place to study. I am not saying this in a mean way! I promise. How old was the little girl? I'm asking because I wouldn't consider this unruly behavior at a swimming pool by a child---especially under the age of about 8-10 (I think prior to about that age, children don't really understand the respect to objects thing that well). Even after age 10, I don't consider it unruly---just that if she was being disobedient, then that is a different story.
I just know that I had an attitude similar to yours about 'unruly' kids before I became a Mother. Quickest route to humility--for sure!
