Ah, didn't know.

I've seen parents like this in real life, though.  Seriously.  It was unsettling.  The urge to jerk a knot in their kid's behind right in front of them was almost overwhelming.

And they're not doing their kids any favors.  But they can't stand the thought of not being "nice" to their kids all the time.  Blah.

 @c1bd69cb @669563d8 ya I am around parents all of the time that say “Brynn, go get your coat.”
“NO! I don’t want to”
“Ok, I’m going to get my coat and I’ll bring out your coat just in case.”
