When did it become acceptable for dc to sit on a train watching TikTok on full volume? I was patient to a point but after 40 minutes I cracked. My glares weren’t working. Dc looks about 10. I leaned over and asked her to turn it down please. The mum glared and said why… I said “usually people use headphones” and the mum looked blankly and replied “yeah we didn’t bring any though 🤷🏻♀️”. I rolled my eyes and said “it’s just so bloody rude” and now she’s loudly going on and on about the sweary rude lady (me) and how I should be grateful dc isn’t screaming.
I’m on this train for 3 hours after a long day. Is it too much to expect a parent to parent their dc? I wouldn’t dream of being so inconsiderate.
