This!! My mom taught grade 1/2 for 36 years. Sheād have students with behaviour issues of one kind or another, then meet the parents and it would all make sense. One of her catchphrases is āyou plant corn, you get cornā.
I'm a teacher. Usually its the popular kids (who have the latest iphones, makeup and stanley cups) who have the worst entitled attitudes. They have no boundaries or rules at home so they don't follow school rules either. They walk all over their parents.
"They were never going to stay a child forever" ššæThis right here. My bestie works in a school and we talk about this all the time. People hyperfocus on the baby/child phase but forget/ignore that this being is going become a teen and an adult eventually, who will ask questions, who will form their own likes/dislikes and opinions and interact more with other people. And bc they arent all cute and tiny anymore, instead of being there for the kid and teaching them how to be a well rounded adult, they throw gifts and money at them bc they dont want to deal with them. And i feel on some level, the kids know that which is why they act up. Look at Angelica from Rugrats. Anytime her father is with her, he's buying her things instead of actually interacting with her personally. And her mother talks to Jonathan more than anyone else so….yea. She's a brat bc thats what her parents turned her into
That kind of behavior wasn't even new back in the 90s. I'm an 80s kid and I went to school with girls just like that too. And I imagine they were around generations before too. All because parents don't want to parent. They find it easier to just give in to their kid's demands instead of setting boundaries and rules. They want to be seen more as a "friend" instead of a parent.
To quote a my favorite troop of sing, dancing helpers, šµwhat do you get when youāre kid is a brat? Pampered and spoiled like a Siamese cat. Blaming the kid is a lion of shame. You know exactly whoās to blame. The mother and the father.šµ
OMG THANK YOU I'm getting so tired of people already annoying gen Alpha as they are guilty for how they act in some situations, I'm a gen z, I'm 21 and I'm responsible for my sh*t, I wasn't when I was 10, bad parenting made me a nightmare at 8/9/10 years old (not like the ones she mentioned in the video, but still), exactly like it did with people of all generations, people have to stop saying the new generations are terrible as we are the roots of all evil all by our selves. And I'm not saying we are saints, my generation can be really annoying and inconvenient (and we also annoy people from other generations), but all generations are, just in different ways.
My time in customer service was relatively brief (six-ish years), but I can say with confidence that any bad behavior I saw in kids, I noticed it in their parents first.
So true, only kids I ignore in public are the ones that are not mine. If I really need some time where I as an ADHD parent with an autoimmune disorder need to not be on the ball with parenting, they can hang out with their dad while I go and decompress. Otherwise itās a 24/7 thing because kids are learning habits from the people theyāre around and just because your eyes are not on them does not mean their ears are not wide open.
I once tried to persuade my mother to buy me a shirt with a plunging v-neck at age 14 (in my defense, I did look quite good in it, just, y'know, in an underage hooker kinda way). She didn't get mad, she just said "You're fourteen, you're not going to the club" and then just to stunt on me she bought it for herself instead. She didn't even go clubbing that often, like maybe once every couple months on a Saturday, she just wanted to emphasize to me that I wasn't an adult.
Of course this is the same woman who used to abandon her shopping cart and carry me out of the store every time I threw a public tantrum as a toddler, so I wouldn't be surprised if this were her planned response to 'the first time my daughter asks if she can buy a hoochie outfit'. Frankly I can't think of a better one, so I might end up using it too.
I was literally looking at Clinique skincare and some little girl in a crop top pushed me out of the way to get to the drunk elephant stuff. Little miss didnāt even say excuse me š
I have a kid and a dog, and I always say that the reason dogs are much easier than children from a mental perspective is that I can spoil the dog silly if I want to (as long as I don't ruin her health), but I have to raise my child to become an adult. Think some people need to get pets and not have kids. Of course, some people shouldn't be in charge of any living being, but that's a different problem š
Honestly tho! I don't want to be a parent and fortunately as a lesbian it's unlikely I'll become one on accident. Hell, I worry about not taking good enough care of my CAT, you really think I can be trusted with a whole ass person?? My cat is a huge brat with other pets and I feel guilty about not playing with her enough. But you know what? If I live by myself, she doesn't have to interact with other pets unless she's in public. Not so with a child. So I'll just stick to being a cat mom for now.
As a child on this age range I apoligize for my race. I have a mother whoās a teacher (prolly makes sense why I consider myself normal) But I 100 percent agree my āfreindsā acted liked this when we took then to the bowling alley for my birthday! Just yelling screaming,doing horrid stuff. But the Makup is crazy! I understand like a lil perfume and maybe a lipgloss and the bare minimum of skincare BUT DRUNM ELAPHNT?! A lil old id think.The Stanley cups (I have one best purchase Iāve ever made for my sports,it was a gift from my grandparents) I donāt really think are nessary to bring EVERYWHERE like to target?! Itās just crazy tbh
Thank you!!! I used to work at Nespresso. We'd have kids rock up and destroy shit. Sugar packets ground into the crevices of our "upcycled coffee grounds" tables. Cups thrown across the store. Displays messed up and broken. While they were absolute monsters, they're kids. At most, they'd be 14 so that prefrontal cortex was still basically soup. The problem wasn't them. The problem was their parents. These people would let their children run through an open-air mall that spanned several city blocks. They'd hand them cash or a credit card and let them free. Mother Dearest might be in Anthropologie or Macy's, which was a block away. We also had issues with the local schools having kids do a scavenger hunt at this multi-block mall. The teachers would upload photos of various landmarks and displays, and the kids would go and find them (and take their own photos). Or, there'd be a bingo game of talking to mall employees or finding things. So, imagine a hundred plus let loose and going into stores in groups of up to twenty. The adults in these situations failed the kids by not setting and enforcing reasonable behaviors and basic respect.
I'm so glad you told the truth because people in the 70s, 80s, 90s generation were not all innocent either. They have some similar issues that Gen Alpha has. There was bad parenting, spoiled brats, entitled behaviors, crimes and kids acting way older than their age. It just got worse in the 2000s generation since social media and cellphones came. That all. I wish content creators would be more honest because they seem to make videos talking about only Gen Alpha. Now I feel like they don't seem authentic after watching this video.
here in Australia we have mecca and i was just trying to look at drunk elephant and this 10 year old pushed me out the way and proceeded to make a smoothie. a different time i was asking for a sample of the lala cream and these preppies finished the whole cream with smoothies the employee honestly looked so annoyed and now they have signs say not to make smoothies and people r not listening
I remember I had those exact same girls around me. Annoying, entitled, narsissists. I would hate them and they made my life miserable at a very young age, too young. At that age I should have had fun but instead I got traumatised by them and I still catch myself sometimes seeing results of it today unfortunately. Back then I though they were just bullies but after I grew up I realised they were not bullies, they were actual demons. Like actual evil, I'm not even exaggerating.
Anyways when the parents would throw game meetings I saw those kids parents and everything just clicked. It all made sence. I mean it didn't change my opinion about them, I still hated them but I was like "Oh ok, I get it now." I was actually happy when I realised how shitty parents they had and they had their karma when they get home š
as a preteen/teen my parents taught me to NEVER behave like this. i grew/am growing up in a british household where manners are top tier importance. it honestly surprises me that children would even dare to act like this, let alone to STRANGERS. i do buy skincare, but with my own money, since i babysit and sell jewelry. i have bought a couple of mini things from drunk elephant, but i research what i put on my skin. i apologize on behalf of these children, but letās not say āsephora kidsā letās just say āMISBEHAVED sephora kidsā. some of us behave well, and just would like to purchase some gentle products. i do believe that no kids should ever act like this, and YES, they should research what they put on their skin. some parents just donāt deserve kids.
When I got to 13-14 my mom told me to do side jobs to earn the money for what I wanted my kids would never
I'm kinda glad I don't really live on the Internet anymore.
Nothing but facts. Seen this in the 80's, 90's, 2000's. Never changes.
Mamma
Seriously! If you can't say "no" and mean it, please don't have children. š¤·āāļø

It's not new; video documentation of bad behavior is.
… So who wants to tell her her bra is inside out

I was born in the earliest of the 90s can confirm. Especially when malls and the Limited too also existed
Oh remember the Billy and Mandy Halloween flash game
Oh fuck… in the next 1-3 years my SIL is most likely going to be this…
Teen Titans Battle Blitz. Yup. I love you. What a great memory to remind me of
I feel sorry for the employees but sephora deserves to lose the money for funding genocide š
In more wealthy parts of town, the teens and tweens are always with adults and remained respectful in the stores. In other citiesā¦. I have no clue

There are two oompa loompa songs that talk about the same thing. Spelling out that spoiled children are the results of bad parents.

As a teacher, thank you for speaking the truth.
2 major jobs of a parent when raising a human being:
1. They are able to take care of themselves
2. They're not an asshole
those types of enabling parents are doing more damage than good. SHAME ON THEM!

My grandma tells me horror stories about the kids she used to teach. Bad behavior is learned, and it isn't a new discovery.
Sheās so real for this
