LITTLE SHITS: THE CHILDREN OF LOS ANGELES

08.28

I could write books on the shit that I have seen but here are just a few highlights:

Over the denial of a second scoop of ice cream I have had a 3 year old yell “You have to give it to me, you work for me!”. I slapped the shit out of him. Okay, I didn’t. But I really really wanted to. I have had a 4 year old throw a two hour tantrum, akin to an epileptic seizure, because she wanted a different kind of goggles to wear swimming. She was not happy with the five pairs at her disposal. Swimming by the way, in her private pool directly next to the tennis courts. This particular little bitch also made up a song while perusing through her 20 or so bikinis(!!) about how rich she was. “I’m rich. I’m rich. Soooo rich! Richer than you. Richer than you. I am so rich”.

The sad thing is that it’s true. I have watched mothers freak out in awe over the fact that the kid I was babysitting used the foreign words of ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. I have witnessed another 3 year old refuse to get in the pool at a group swimming lesson by screaming at a handful of adults. And instead of getting thrown in the pool as any normal parent would do (right?), her mother rushed to her aid citing her therapists’ views on never making little Sally do anything she didn’t feel safe doing.

    September 02, 2008 3:26pm I worked at a uber nice hotel in high school as a day care planner (play with children). One day, I went to give a 3 year old a bottle of water (Evian I think) and she looked up to me and said "I only drink Perrier." I almost pulled a JonBenét Ramsey right then and there.

    September 02, 2008 4:12pm Going along with A, these parents aren't just stupid, they're TV-generation stupid. If the shiny box said it, it must be true. Mix in a little bit of Dateline, and you've got a big part of the problem.

    September 02, 2008 8:08pm As a parent of six, I can tell you that you MUST blame the parents for this type of crap. A small child has no responsibility; they only do what they are taught and/or what has worked in the past. Next time, slap the shit out of her mom and dad.

    September 03, 2008 2:12am If someone would just start a meme that it isn't proper to have children and live in a place like L.A., perhaps these people would either choose to forego parenthood for a while or move someplace where their offspring would be less affected and infected by the high-luxury mindset.

    September 03, 2008 3:29am not all kids are like that. move out of the big cities and you'll see. i live in a medium sized town in utah and many kids are polite around here (possibly the fact 70% of people are mormon around here) but still, no yuppie rich bitches to deal with. makes you want to have kids of your own.

    September 03, 2008 8:48am Jesskat: But then I'd live in Utah. Also, I think it's more the wealth rather than the location makes people like that.
