How rude!
Is it just me, or are people becoming increasingly rude and inconsiderate? Earlier this week, Andy's aunt asked him if he could get her football tickets for Saturday. Thinking he was doing her a favor, he agreed. Today he found out that his aunt didn't want them, her friend did. A little annoying, but no big whoop.
Auntie said her friend would come by this evening to pick up the tickets since he lives in Lincoln and she doesn't. Andy has homecoming events all this week, so I agreed to stay home and play ticketbroker.
This dude and his 3-year-old daughter didn't show up until 9:50. Is it just me, or is really cheeky to assume it's okay to show up at a stranger's house that late? I wouldn't think of inconveniencing someone I don't even know that late in the evening. At 9:50 on a weeknight, I want to be showered, pajama-ed, and watching a Scrubs re-run, not running a collection service. Don't even get me started on the fact that the 3-year-old was toddling around with Daddy instead of sleeping. What the hell happened to bedtime? At her age, we were probably in bed by 7:30.
Thanks to e-mail and cell phones and instant messaging, there's this assumption that everyone should be accessible 24/7. It's made people lazy, rude, and irresponsible, which doesn't bode well for our future.

LOL this is quite a situation. About the bedtime thing, there was a one and a half year old at the Halloween thing last week and she was up past 12:30 AM!!!!!!!!!!! Hello? I don't care if mommy wants to sleep in the morning. Kids have to have stability. Which is why I'll be the cool aunt not the cool mom. My "children" wouldn't have to mix in with these instable children. (Okay I admit that is a bit harsh, but you see where I'm going with it.)
No flames from me; I totally agree. I'm more terrified of dealing with the idiotic parents of our kids' friends than all the kidlets themselves.
If they're used to getting their way at age 3, can you imagine what they're going to be like as 17-year-olds?
