"I don't fucking care."
This was a conversation between a husband and wife customer duo, regarding their toddler, who was presently ripping books off of shelves and falling over and hitting his head without his parents noticing.
It seems that buying presents for one's children has suddenly taken precedence over the actual raising and care of the child. Nothing is more important than children having lots of things to play with, right? Clearly not their well being.
The way the parents of this child showed their parenting ability, it seemed like they had a kid simply to buy it things. The process of buying things also entails setting a good example by being incredibly rude to any menial worker, my book-shelving self included.
I agree. It seems that parents have been using their children as an extension of their financial status as opposed to actually raising them.
