Young parent vs 'trustafarian douche parents'

My rant:

I strongly dislike heiress born affluent-area-dwelling trustafarian parents.

Why? (As if the above description didn't make you cringe enough)

Today, I took my daughter to a decent vegan cafe in a semi-affluent area of SE Portland, OR.

On any given day, you'd see a grand bevy of gorgeous late-20/ early 30-year-old mothers and fathers chasing, their toddlers in their keen clogs and well-tailored (yet distressed) "7" jeans. They'd be talking to their husbands and friends about vapidly ignorant political topics and socialist favoritisms (though they're bumper stickers preach hipocracy).

To a young and curiously astute mother, I watch as they awkwardly interact with their children for an audience of judging eyes (like my own).

Most parents know of no buffer. They chase their children around relentlessly with a fork of food, begging them on their hands and knees to eat. This, as tenored parents, we know is a sad and ineffective way to gain a child's respect and focus.Allowing your child to use you as a guide is one thing, but allowing your child to drag you along like a breathing roll cage allows no room for failure... I'd like to believe that one day, those parents learn to let loose their worries and allow their children to breath.... But on the opposite end of the spectrum, we have parents that know not when to draw the line. Their unkempt ignorance in fact, defines their parental structure (which ceases to exist)...

Now preferentially, in a decently populated restaurant, I'd lean a touch more toward the disciplinary. At least until she's eaten a considerably good amount of her food without a fuss.

A child does not get fed, if you do not set a structured time to do so....

Once I've noted a child who's spotted Zoe's attention has also obtained the 'Okay' from their parent(s), I allow my child to play and converse.

Common sense in any given circumstance, yes?

Unfortunately, incorrect to a new genre of parents we call: "trustafarians".

According to this neo-hippie ideology, allowing your child to make their own decisions for the first 5 years of their lives (regardless of whom they affect) is a wise new parental filter!

My thought:

Fuck those trust fund inherent snobs.
What these people do in their private homes is one thing. But selfishly forcing these nasty habits on another child and parent is downright disrepectful and savage.

I shouldn't even have to explain that toddlers have NO inhibitions let alone a pre-existing knowledge of what is right nor wrong... if you don't fucking tell them.

Or did they simply not catch that, the single time they visited their girlfriend on the upper west side whom depends on a nanny to raise their kid for them? It makes me wonder: Did they really think this through before they spent thousands on in vitro to fertilize their dried up burning man eggs... but soley to wait through their twenties in-spite of their friends who'd had their children "too young"?

My point is: these ignorant breeding assholes are no better because they waited, money can't buy good parenting...
