♥ Queen of all Grumpy Old Farts ♥

About the GrumpyQueen

A.K.A Gatekeeper

I love food, don't deprive me of it.

I'm not Princess, I'm Queen

I can be quite grumpy and when I am, I hide here, my dungeon for reflections, ramblings and ranting.

Whatever I write are opinions, and may not be the whole truth. Do not read it like the Gospel.

I hate as vehemently as I love
I already know I'm crazy, be my friend, it's safer

Different is not bad, just not the same as the rest

If you don't like me, it's probably mutual
But I'm nice, really :p

Learn to thank

I didn't want to post today. But seriously, learn to thank. How many times do you see parents smack their children because the kid was trying to help but made a mess instead.

I mean what the fuck was the parent even thinking? Do they have any idea how much damage they've done by that simple act? Is helping wrong? Yes, the idiot made a mistake, but if the idiot's not helpful enough, why would he/she give a fuck? If you have the good cheek to scold a child for helping, out of his own free will, then don't go around demanding that the child help out with household chores.

People make mistakes and must learn from them. Is it wrong to make mistakes? Is it wrong to be imperfect? No. So why punish an imperfect child?

So I rejoice in the fact that the child would've learnt, "I'm an idiot, I can't do a simple thing properly. My mummy is a genius because she seems to know everything. If she knows everything, I should just let her work to death." Congratulations, you've proven beyond reasonable doubt that your child is an idiot, worse than a pig and you, the genius must live for all eternity so that you can look after him/her.

And the next time you decide to compare kids, just remember that they could well be comparing parents. Your kids pick up everything from you. If Mummy the genius compares people, then comparing people must be right, so it's only right that the kid learns how to compare, and do a damn good job.
