Smalltalk (hexbear.net)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Judge_Jury@hexbear.net to c/memes@hexbear.net

Seriously what is up with whining about people bringing their kids shopping. I get that they hate poor people I just would expect them to have more than one thing to talk about

Edit: Even though I enjoy conflict, I guess I'll add some context here anyway. The usual line I hear as smalltalk is "You don't have to bring the whole family shopping," which if you don't shut it down immediately, will be followed up with some of the most racist and/or classist statements you can imagine, typically involving birth rates

Yeah I couldn’t imagine why people wouldn’t like going grocery shopping while someone’s kid is running around, screaming and pulling things off shelves. Must be because they hate poor people.

Welcome to the real world lol. Kids are part of it, get used to it. You were once a bratty child too, we all were at one stage. It's part of life.

Death to America

kids aren't a capitalist mode of production, they are people

In the “real world” it’s perfectly fine to be annoyed by unmanaged children. It always has been and it always will be, just like not having kids and not wanting to deal with other people’s shittily behaved kids is also acceptable. Do you think kid free restaurants, vacation spots, etc exist for no reason?

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah but a supermarket is not a vacation spot, restaurant or club. It's a supermarket, a grocery store.

I understand child free spots when appropriate, I just don't think a grocery store or supermarket should be child free.

A grocery store isn’t a playground, no one is entitled to make other people deal with their shitty parenting.

until you're paying for their childcare so they don't have to bring their kids shut the fuck up

Making sure your children aren’t little shits is a parents responsibility, not the daycares. If you have kids and they can’t behave for like a half hour, that’s wholly on you.

Individual responsibility brainworms, and from a federated user, what a surprise.
