I remember quite a few adults telling me that children should be seen, not heard when I was little. It was popular and sucked.

This is so freaking real. Some old folks seem to want that kids just stay still in silence like a furniture when they’re bored. No playing outside cuz “is annoying and dangerous”, not playing with their phones cuz “is unhealthy and dangerous”.
What the hell should they do then?!

My ex step mom (may she rest in piss) favorite saying. She said that shit all the time.
Few others I don’t hate people, I hate their actions. (She had a lot of hate)
Actions Speak Louder then Words (only good saying I took from her)
She would say these things at least once a day. But always hated the seen but not heard one. Because I was an active kid and couldn’t be ignored.

Id offer you a hug but im too irony poisoned to figure out hiw to write the offer in such a way that it doesnt come off as mocking.

No need she died last month and apparently was just as hateful at the end as she was in lif. So no big loss.

So there was this…what do you call it, lady who was very annoyed at any noise ever. Once she pulled a kitchen knife at us. Well well would you know that all parents and grandmas pulled legal action against that.

We do more mountain top removal than underground mining these days.

Die, i think, given our position on climate change. Kids shoukd die,
We should all collectively commit suicide, and these damn kids should shut the fuck up while we do.

A lot of people just hate kids. It’s a big problem
