They don’t understand, they can’t understand…

I certainly hope you can find it in yourself to be a bit more understanding about kids in the future.

I don’t have kids either but I don’t fault children for having undeveloped brains and being subject to their (hopefully decent) guardians’ decisions, for better or worse.

We all have bad days, but kids don’t always have the skills yet to manage that. Hopefully you can share that kindness with others and they share back with you. /gen

Fwiw, I am glad you don't have kids.

All children are different just like adults. There are many adults I could describe as obnoxious, entitled assholes, but that doesn't make me write off all adults. The last thing I would describe my 3 year old daughter as at Disneyland was obnoxious. If anything she was better behaved because she was so happy and realised we had done something nice for her by taking her there. She was spontaneously giving us hugs when there which she doesn't normally do. Sure, she got tired and a little cranky at the end of each day but it was far outweighed by her good behaviour and she was never even close to obnoxious by anyone's standards. Caveat: I am her biggest fan and you can feel free to write off my comments as biased but I expect you to anyway because you exhibit all the signs of prejudice.

For the record, I did see some kids acting a bit entitled and obnoxious, but I'd say that they were in the minority and it was a fleeting moment as you passed them by so who is to know if you didn't just witness the one instance of bad behaviour in their whole day.

When you are prejudiced against something though you take on the evidence that reinforces your view and ignore the evidence which contradicts. I expect if you were at disneyland or anywhere else surrounded by children behaving well your mind would not acknowledge that, I.e. You'd simply ignore or not notice well behaved children. But any time there is one child in your vicinity who is not behaving well I bet you do notice and take note and think "See? All children are obnoxious little shits"

Reasons why you don't have children no.1: you don't like them.

Reasons why you are obnoxious no 1: you think it is funny or clever to imply you have at least 78 reasons to not have children and in doing so show us that you are fine with judging whole groups on the behaviour of a few of its members.

Wow, you people are very emotional about this topic.

Yes, kids act up. Yes, that's okay. Yes, it's okay that I am not the right person to deal with that on a daily basis.

Maybe the experience isnt so special then and you're only coping because you spent so much money

I don’t know why people are giving you shit unless I missed a comment where you glorified beating kids… like there’s nothing wrong with someone saying “I can’t handle this and so it isn’t for me”

I’d rather have an obnoxious kid than a dense kid.

It would appear you were not obnoxious.
