Hi nostr, we got back from our trip to Austin safely. We visited some family and went to see a bunch of 8 yr olds play soccer, and i wish we hadnt gone. These family members we went to see have triplets, 2 boys and a girl. My husband and i were both appalled at their behavior, in public no less. The boys each had episodes of melting down during the game, and started screaming at their mother, and one of them ran to her and started hitting her. She tried to calm him and he yelled "shut up mom!" at her. I could tell she was embarrassed, and her husband just tried to ignore the whole thing. We've seen these kids do this at our house while visiting us. Its like the inmates running the asylum, truly. Do many parents let their kids do this nowadays? I cannot fathom how these two grown people can allow 8 yr olds to behave like this. What the hell is happening to families? Anyway, just needed to vent about this. I hope all of you had a better day. #grownostr #FamiliesInCrisis
