A random kid stole my drink on a party this weekend
​
My family has lots of young kids and therefore, lots of birthday party's to attend during the year, which I don't dislike that much because I love birthday food, who doesn't? In fact it's one of my favorite parts. I don't really get that mad or anything during those parties because seeing my young cousins (ages below 30) running after their offsprings are a really good birth control to me and good remember of why I love my choice of being childfree!
I was with my boyfriend and my nephew (who's a teenager now so conversation is so much better now) just chilling in the kitchen while eating cake and our cups (just soda) were in the table close to us. In my family there's mostly children that are younger than 6 years and they have friends with children that age too, so there was not only the children I know there, until them it was no problem, they were all playing and everything was fine... Until a kid that I suppose is at least 5-6 years old just went to the kitchen, stopped in front of the cups, who were half empty by now, and simply took my cup. I was genuinely so surprised that I took a minute to really believe a random kid was stealing my drink until my boyfriend said "you gonna let him take it?" and I tried to grab the kids attention and say "hey, that cup is not yours, is mine, you can't take it" and when I say that kid just said "what?" and SIMPLY WALKED TAKING A SIP OF MY CUP LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. I was genuinely flabbergasted, that never happened with any kids in my family, yes, they are mostly annoying but they behave themselves.
I know it's kinda silly that I got mad because of this, some people from my family who I told it happened just said "it's just a kid being a kid", but that was just straight up rude to me. What if what I was drinking was actually an alcoholic drink and that kid simply decided to drink it before I took it? What if it's something he can't drink? Even more alarming, what if there was something like drugs in there and he happened to be unlucky enough? And not to say that if he's doing it at a party with random people, it means the adults let them do it with no consequences, so he thinks it's completely okay to just grab a random drink that someone was drinking instead of just asking an adult to pour some for him! Where's his manners?
I did took another drink for me after that and just moved on because that only happened one time, but this happened this weekend and I'm still bitter about that, even it wasn't really big or important, I don't like random kids taking what is mine. What a rude kid. smh.
edit: it wasn't having to get another drink that bothered me. What bothered me was the entitlement and rudeness, I shouldn't have to tolerate it just because it's an ambient with children, they're not entitled to being and acting shitty and inconsiderate just because they are young. What bother me even more is the adults that simply dismiss a shitty act like I'm just supposed to take everything someone else's children do, and just accept theirs actions affecting me without consequences simply because they're small.
