A Kentucky woman calls out parents “to stop letting [their] kids be so [expletive] annoying to other adults.” Her video has over 473,000 views, over 102,000 likes, and over 3,000 comments. She has received mixed reactions, with most siding with her and adding what behaviors they wish would end.
The woman blasts the behavior as not being cute and states, “It makes people hate your kids.” For example, this includes children who come up and ask to play with her, or mid-conversation with a parent when their child tugs on her shirt. The Kentucky woman asks parents to stop letting their children interrupt conversations. She argues, “It makes people dread them coming around.”
It also bothers her when a friend brings a kid over to her house and they “destroy everything you own” or constantly jump on the couch. These are behaviors that the Kentucky woman hopes can end. She doesn’t see how parents would want this to be their child. The one that no one wants to be around. The woman asks parents to take control. She states, “Stop letting your kids drive other adults insane.” She says a parent’s job is to teach their children how to behave properly, which she believes includes stopping annoying behaviors. She says, “It’s okay to tell your kids, ‘hey, you’re being really super annoying, and you need to stop’.”
Most Side With Kentucky Woman
Several commenters agree with her and add the behaviors they find annoying. One says, “Or kids indulging in adult conversations.” Another adds, “Or a kid that cries and whines for any and everything.” Others find the behaviors to be disgusting and aggravating. One commenter says, “Parents who don’t shut their kids up for interrupting another adult who’s talking sends me over the [expletive] edge.”
Many agree this is an important lesson children should learn; one commenter says, “It’s a life skill to know how to read a room.” Another states they don’t believe there’s ever an excuse. They state, “I can’t stand the excuse ‘they’re kids, kids will be kids’. They’re kids, they’re not incompetent.” However, some commenters believe the Kentucky woman is overacting, arguing it is just child behavior. One says, “A lot of you hate or dislike children for simply being children, it’s weird, no lie.”
The Kentucky woman doubles down on her comments with a follow-up video calling out a ‘parent crisis.’
