My mom's friend does this to her 9-year-old son all the time. they always have guests over and stuff so they go out to dinner and bring him along, and obviously they aren't going to be home before midnight and this kid is out almost every night. It's even more horrible because this kid is really really smart but his teachers don't see his full potential since he can't focus in school. I've started tutoring him because he loves reading and his teacher downgraded him by 3 reading levels or something, so he isn't allowed read more advanced books in class until his grades improve. Which is stupid, he's only 9 years old.

So the sir thing seems to go either way.. don't really find the whole thing with the military dad surprising here. For some reason just using it in general caught on with me when I saw an old bandmate calling other people that years ago, I was like "huh....."
Now I say it to other guys I don't know overly well, mainly co workers and they actually react to it pretty funny. Some of them straight up tell me they hate or don't want to be called that. Others just laugh, kind of like "wtf?".

TheChaz

Agreed.

EDIT: OT: Parents brainwashing their kids. My parents were quite guilty of this, but I saw through the bullshit once I was about 15. I felt sick when I went over to my friend's house. His younger brother is about 15. He's talking to his mom and I overhear him saying, "But why is it that we're against gay people getting married?" And his mom says, "Because God says that what they do is an abomination and we should be trying to help them stop their sin." He says, "But shouldn't they be able to choose what to do with their own lives?" She says, "They can do what they want, but we can't support it."

I was just shocked.

I don't have any children, but I did take care of my 3 year old niece for two weeks once when my Sister had a lot of surgeries. After that I pretty much came to the conclusion that if you're not a parent, you don't have a lot of basis to judge other parents.

Those of you who are complaining about parents and their attention to their child just don't know. I was insane after 2 weeks, imagine a life-time.

PARENTS WHO LET THEIR KIDS TAKE SHITS ALL OVER MY FUCKING POOL!

Seriously, we've had 7 year olds drop their pants and just crap on the deck. WTF?
I see so much bad parenting at the pool its not even funny. Parents drop off a 7 year old and a 3 year old to swim for 3 hours. Parents with 300 lb 11 year olds. Parents who try to force their kids to break the rules. Parents who just pay attention to each other while their 5 year old could be running away to the deep end. Parents who are super harsh on their kids after swimming lessons, even if the kid is the best swimmer in the group.

And I don't like the sir thing. It generally seems to go along with the kids being afraid of their dad, which is wrong.

Leaving their baby in the car while they run into the grocery store. Never acceptable.
Even worse on a hot day.

I hate obnoxious children in public. Or the parents of them, at least. If they're doing what they can to control their child then whatever, but lots are just running all over the place and screaming with no parental intervention. Not cool. I always sit as far away from children as possible in restaurants.

I'm absolutely terrible with children (youngest of 6 kids so I have no experience with younger people) so I don't have any place to judge parents except for how I was raised. The one "problem" with me was that I was never really disciplined that much and wish I was. But now, if you try to discipline me it doesn't even work. So I guess parents need to discipline better.

Oh wait, that's the same thing everyone in this thread has been saying.

Pride will kill us all.

Or at least ruin our eating experiences. I've made that mistake before, but with these Salsita's, I never tempt fate.

Taking kids under 7 to sit down resturaunt. Seriously you expect a 6 year old kid to sit there and shut up for 2 hours. Want to eat some place nice? Hire a damn sitter!

Idle threats, I see this one a lot.

Kids in a store, enough said.

Parents who let their kids run around and get into shit and make a lot of noise, and they just turn the other way and just let this happen. For some reason this is more frequent in my experience with Hispanic families.

The other day I could hear this kid coming up the street screaming his head off about something. It got louder and louder so I went to see what was going on. He was just walking along screaming at the top of his lungs about what appeared to be nothing. He was flailing about and stopping periodically just screaming. After a couple of minutes what must have been his funny came walking past slowly as he kept walking about 60 metres in front of them, screaming his ****ing head off, I could hear him for about another five minutes, rediculous.

Somehow I get the feeling he will be a prick of a human being when he is older.

Also parents who don't really talk to their kids about stuff even though they know something must be wrong.

Not getting their kid circumcised.

Then the kid has to live his life with a creepy ass ugly disgusting alien looking dick.

Poor kid
