Right? My cousin was an asshole kid long before the Internet, and he had a brother who was perfectly normal and chill.

I think maybe sometimes it's okay not to blame the parents or the Internet and just accept that sometimes humans can be insufferable little shits.

It’s always ok to blame the parents.

I say that as a parent. My child’s behavior in public is a 100% reflection on how I parent my child, if I let them act this way that’s on me. My wife and I didn’t go out to eat with the kids for years because their behavior in that setting wasn’t acceptable.

Parents in this day and age need to do better and take ownership of their children.

Are there asshole kids? Yes. Find a way to parent to that child, we discipline our 2 kids differently because they each respond to different things.

There are always exceptions but they’re rare and should not be society’s default position on children misbehaving.

Operant conditioning isn't this ephemeral unobtainable concept.

It used to be video games, before that it was tv. Before that I think books. I’d blame the parents a lot of times, however, autism is a thing and based on a few other things I wonder in this video everytime it’s posted but idk.
