Petco - Where the pets go??? A vent

[Alysser]

I can just imagine what the little angel will be like when he gets older... People really need to stop thinking their children are perfect angels and pay attention.

Today, I was walking Sassy and waiting for my three friends to get off their elementry school bus and this 4th grader comes up to me and doesn't even ask to pet Sassy. She just does it! Sassy bites and can be very vicious if she feels crowded! Kids were getting off the bus and passing us in a crowd and Sassy was cowering in fear. I told the girl to stop and she ignored me. My 5th grade and 4th grade friends finally told her to stop and she left all fuming. Then, I notice these three triplets that live on my block. They were being so well behaved just standing there with their dad. It amazes me how someone can teach triplets not to go up to a strange dog yet someone cannot teach one kid to even listen..

Some parents are really hard to believe. And we wonder what's wrong with so many kids these days? If they live with these morons for parents, how else will they turn out?

Donna, you showed remarkable restraint in holding back from punching someone. I'm not so sure I could have held my cool so well.

I get this all the time at my job. Parents bring their kids to the library for entertainment. Entertainment, aka; expecting library staff to babysit for them. Witnessing the ignorance of some people never ceases to amaze me. The kids are out of control, while the parents completely ignore them and usually condone their bad behavior. Don't let us do or say anything to better the situation or a quick reprimand is sure to come. We usually end up calling the security guard to remove them from the building.

I'm glad you love your job and I hope you don't have any more experiences like that
