But older people want respect, why can't children expect that?!
Who here ever said that children cannot/should not expect respect? Showing boundaries with inappropriate behavior is not disrespect.
And that your former neighbors "fled" because someone with children moved in is not disrespect, but first of all a consistent life decision. If they had smeared you the not yet proven inadequacy of your offspring on the buttered bread, that would have been disrespectful.
Yes, I stand by it, I can't stand those older people who immediately say: "oh God, the family has children, I can't stand these brats, I'm selling my house"
[Emphasis by me]
THESE brats? Specifically? I've heard a lot, but never that.
Hello, give these children a chance, maybe these children are very sweet?!
Chance for what? To show people who actually don't like children that precisely they will be the only ones to like them?
That's not something you can reasonably demand, and rejecting such a demand is not disrespect either.
But if a dog comes too close to someone, sniffs them and barks continuously, then people say: "oh, he's very sweet, he's just curious"
Suddenly that's normal.
NO. That is not normal, but wrong. Unsocial. And just as these dog owners do something unsocial with their insufficient awareness of the impact their animal has on others, parents with insufficient awareness of the impact their offspring have on others do something unsocial as well.
PROVIDED the offspring move outside this vague framework I mentioned in the previous post.
