Staring Again
Once more I touch upon the subject of staring! I suppose when it comes to children, though, it’s not really a manners thing. What I really dislike is the parents who let their children do as they wish… I kind of think it’s actually a sort of sexist thing. I feel like parents see their children interacting with women and the think “Well, that little lady sure is going to enjoy this! All girls LOVE children!” And so they just let their children run rampant on unsuspecting girls. Maybe it’s just me. And so I not only dislike children and poor parenting, but also the sneaking suspicion that it’s just unfair to be a woman.
On a side note: I know people think I hate babies. Well I do. But when it comes to young children, I don’t much mind them if I have something to do with them (ie. we’re related through friend or family or it’s my job to take care of children, etc.). If they’re a stranger-person’s child, then I’m just plum annoyed. Keep your children in check people! I know you love them, but don’t assume every woman in the world is going to excitedly coochie-coochie-coo them!

Aww the kid you drew looks so cute! I dunno, kids stare at everything and they crave attention. Ignore them right off the bat and they probably won’t continue doing it.

Uggggggh, children. I think it’s mostly a slobber thing…I can’t think of them as doing anything but drooling until they’re 14 or so.
