"you're entitled to a child-free life, not a child-free world!!" well, that goes both ways.
i am so sick of this being said in response to any complaint or annoyance regarding a child's behavior (and their parent's ignorance/negligence).
no, i'm not entitled to a child-free world, but you and your child also aren't entitled to unlimited kindness and patience from everyone else. sorry. people are allowed to be irritated by your child's hypersonic screaming in the middle of the store, or them running around in the middle of aisles, getting in the way, because of your refusal to just hold them or put them in the cart. "but they don't like it!" why are you a parent if you won't give your child bare-minimum discipline?
people are allowed to be irritated by your baby screaming bloody murder for the entirety of a 12 hour flight. "oh, so are they just supposed to leave the baby at home?" "they're crying because they're in pain, are you heartless?" no, but the parents must be for bringing their infant child on a plane without doing any research or preparation for the pain/discomfort it'll cause them!
people are allowed to be irritated by your child(ren) being loud outside all day or playing in their yard or the middle of the road. literally happened yesterday... my neighbors were having a 4th of July party, and all of the kids were outside playing. nothing wrong with that, but for whatever reason, these kids were playing in our yard and driveway, throwing their fireworks right by (or even at) our cars. those same neighbors' kids have also used our trampoline without asking. i may not be entitled to a child-free world or neighborhood, but i'm at least entitled to a child-free PROPERTY, no??
