a. Name three things that drive you crazy when parents do it.
b. Explain what being annoyed about these things says about you.

I’ll start:
1. I hate when parents smoke around their children.
2. I hate when parents don’t teach their kids how to interact with other kids and are zero help to me when I try to teach my kid how to properly play or share together – why are you just standing there, with your mouth open? Are you and your kid idiots?! Gah
3. I hate when parents think TV for infants is educational.

These pet peeves point to the fact that I want kids to have rights (parents shouldn’t harm kids through smoking because the kids can do nothing to avoid it) and that I want parents to put in more effort into their parenting because I think I put a lot into mine.

NOT a question about why you hate kids or don’t want kids or how you can’t smell a diaper, etc.
