Reply #1: So what is this, more parent bashing? [View All]

The author might do well to remind himself that not all parents are like the one he described. I am well aware of lines forming behind me, and am very polite. I do not yammer away on my cell phone in public. And I teach my daughter to be respectful of authority figures.

There are ALWAYS going to be jerks in the world--both of the parent and non-parent variety. If you choose to focus on the jerks, that's all you're going to see. (You in the general sense, not question everything, the poster.)
