Years ago I was having a wonderful summer day with my children at the Jersey Shore. We were really enjoying each others company, when we started observing some unpleasant things happening between many other parents and their children. On the beach, we saw several children who appeared lost and wandering around looking for their folks, and many others sitting bored to tears in front of their parents who would yell at them every time they asked to go for a swim! On the boardwalk it was even worse, with several parents screaming at, and often hitting their children, for wanting to go on a ride or get something to eat?
Not wanting to be judgmental when my kids asked me why so many parents seemed so unhappy with their kids I just answered that some people were meant to have children while others should just have guppies.
