A Brief Note on Bratty Children and Their Bratty Parents
There ought to be a special place in Hell reserved for people who seem to be perfectly content with their children bothering strangers in a cafe (e.g., ones who are trying to work) just so they can scroll through the messages on their phone.
I don't need to be distracted with a child crashing into my leg with the bicycle that he's riding indoors.
Believe it or not, I actually like children and can be very good with them, but at least tell your brat when this happens that he's not supposed to do this! That's why the kid is a brat.
(OK, I'll stop now.)
