      Since becoming a father, I stopped using child as an insult. My child, still two, actually learns from his mistakes and feels bad when he does something wrong.

        So, you had to wait until it impacted you to realize how unfair it was?

        Just giving you shit, but as a schoolmarm I can confirm that adults are much shittier than kids

          That’s because adults are more imaginative. My cousin who’s a total dick now as an adult, was also a total dick as a kid. He just was easier to deal with because his dickness was less sophisticated.

          I think the idea is that kids often get away with being poorly behaved. But yeah I guess today, many adults do too…

          I think teenagers are the worst humans. If you were ever bullied you know what I mean. No filter on the awful things they say and not just on the Internet.
