Fun spoiling parents

One of the things that I noticed at the Children's Museum this weekend that was oh so sad was one mom (not with our group!!) who was just yelling nonstop at her kids. I ran into them at two displays and she just was cranky, yelling, had her hand on her head laying back in exhaustion while her kids attempted to have a good time as she just yelled at them not to do things. All the other parents in the museum were having fun with their kids and showing them things. It always makes me sad when I see a grumpy fun-spoiling parent. Especially when the kids aren't really doing anything bad. I'm sure that she had a rough day or something bad happened or maybe she just had a headache, but that's neither here nor there. The kids were doing things like kids do, nothing inappropriate or extra obnoxious, and she was just after them ecery second with a nasty bark. She could have been showing them displays or how to ineract with the displays or taking pictures or something instead of just laying back yelling. Poor kids!

People need to learn to relax & enjoy life more. If the day isn't going so good maybe a trip like that should be postponed.
