Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
TLDR content:
I went to my niece's birthday party yesterday and we took our two sons. The kids were playing and stuff and then this little redhead boy comes in the living room (he's probably 7) and he says, "Who's kid is this little boy in the blue shirt that's annoying me? He won't stop talking to me."
I know both of my kids (5 and 2yo) are wearing blue shirts and the oldest does sometimes have some personal space issues so I'm like.. "It's probably mine." I can't help, but wonder why is this little kid asking adults "who's kid is this?" FOH little man. So I ask what he's doing and he says "He's just talking to me and it's getting on my nerves." I go in the bedroom and there are three kids all laying down on their switch playing Fortnite so I ask my son what happened and he said, "They are all playing Fortnite and I just wanted to play outside on the trampoline, but I tried to watch them play and they won't let me."
I could tell right away that he's actually being truthful because his feeling were hurt and he started sobbing. So I had to have a long talk with him about how he won't like everyone in life and everyone won't like him, don't worry about them. I capped it off with "You don't need to cry about it little man.. some kids don't know how to play like kids anymore with toys or their imagination and only care about video games."
The dad of that kid and the mom were giving me funny looks, but what the ****.. get off your *** and either help or tell your kid to stop being a rude little ****. I was also hoping my sister would tell her son to get off the damn game and socialize with his family, but she didn't do that either.
It's not my house and I don't want to be old 29 year old man yells at cloud, but my kids really would rather play with toys than be on video games when the weather is nice. They own a Wii, 3DS, PS3, ipads, etc. but we limit their time with them, but every single time I see my nephew he's on a phone, tablet, or switch.
The whole thing was a big gear grinder for me.
