This is so freaking real. Some old folks seem to want that kids just stay still in silence like a furniture when they're bored. No playing outside cuz "is annoying and dangerous", not playing with their phones cuz "is unhealthy and dangerous".

What the hell should they do then?!

    I remember quite a few adults telling me that children should be seen, not heard when I was little. It was popular and sucked.

    My ex step mom (may she rest in piss) favorite saying. She said that shit all the time.

    Few others I don't hate people, I hate their actions. (She had a lot of hate)

    Actions Speak Louder then Words (only good saying I took from her)

    She would say these things at least once a day. But always hated the seen but not heard one. Because I was an active kid and couldn't be ignored.

    So there was this...what do you call it, lady who was very annoyed at any noise ever. Once she pulled a kitchen knife at us. Well well would you know that all parents and grandmas pulled legal action against that.

    Does that count as playing outside?
