you try to do the right thing, and go about it without boasting. without seeking recognition. not expecting any type of prestige. but once you've made one small mistake, everyone makes it their business.

while at work today, i was told the funniest thing
"keep a hold on your parents"
as if i had absolute control over them.
totally dude!
sorry for not having my own parents on a leash. i wasn't raised to tell them what to do.
its funny how spoiled children act. you can spot them easily while they're young, always whining to their parents until they get what they want. you'd think they they would change their attitudes as they grew up and matured, but ironically, it just changes into different, more advanced forms of being bratty. they now whine about not being able to go out with friends, getting a new car, a new phone, even whining about lack of attention. if they don't get the attention they want, they will make their own attention, even if it means being loud and obnoxious.
then there is the infamous "keep your parents in check" attitude. it is easy for a spoiled child to tell their parents what to do since, quite frankly, they've been doing it all their lives. but to children with more... traditional upbringings, we would be out of place, since we were conditioned to treat elders with respect.
