the y. today. post-work-out changing in the change room. there is a mom with 2 kids -- an older girl, and a younger boy. they were at the y last time i was there too. these kids are the most ill-behaved & loud children i have ever encountered in a confined public space. the mother does nothing -- absolutely nothing -- to parent her monsters & instead starts yelling as loud as they are, if not louder. this is the second time i actually got a head-ache while in the change room as a direct result of loud children running around & screaming.
so, in a possibly-jerk-ish move, i put a suggestion in the suggestion box. i suggested that the y remind / tell parents with children in the change room to make sure their children aren't misbehaving and for their children to use "indoor voices" while in the gym. also the change rooms aren't monkey houses. geez louise.
anyway. who knows if anything will come of it. but i felt better after making my suggestion. yippy skippy.
so the kids' behaviour is not the really annoying thing - the really annoying thing is how this mom appears to absolve herself of responsibility for watching / correcting her children's behaviour. i'm not a child hating monster, but c'mon, if you bring your kids to a public place, at least TRY to make sure they aren't annoying wretches.
enough said.
