Seahorses, I Love 'Em (& other Links of Interest)

What's weird about what Viktor is saying is that he is determined to adopt like fifty kids and if he has trouble with one shouting at a restaurant he will probably lose his mind when three start screaming at each other and running all over his mansion for hours and hours.

[Pthagnar]

For his sake, I recognise he is a cunt.

[Astraios]

Why did you write this.

It was just a silly example of applying Viktor's logic to a different situation. Silliness is forbidden?

For the sake of other patrons I recognise where children belong in public and where they don't.

On a leash, with their mouths taped shut and their hands and feet hobbled?

Safely in Mammy's care with the other subhumans?

Of course not. If I ever adopted 11 children I would be rich enough to have a few nannies. You probably are right though in that I'd put the beat down on any of my children who run around the house while company are over or mess up the formal rooms. Sort of like Asian authoritarian parenting, really.

Hey hey, don't go around hitting people and getting your gloves dirty. That's what buck nigras are for, and mammy'll deal with the kids. Honestly, fucking parvenus.

NE: like really, you're supposed to be being a victorian father here, get it fucking right. you are supposed to have as little to do with your children as possible, except as a distant terrifying force who, on rare occasions, may deliver corporal punishment, most of the terror of which lies in its *ceremony*. Plus, they are at boarding school most of the time. Actual day-to-day childbeating is for the working classes, whom you employ of course, so as to maintain this vital distance.

I have a disorder that causes noise sensitivity, and for quite a while I was completely unable to go to restaurants at all because of the likeliness of screaming children being there. I still have to take earplugs with me lest one triggers sensory overload. On the other hand, I do recognize that it is discriminatory to exclude parents with children from restaurants, especially if the children in question are disabled in relevant ways.

It seems like it would make the most sense for these restaurants that wish to allow people to dine in quiet to have different sections in the restaurant; one for people with children and those who don't mind them, one for people without. Until smoking was banned in local restaurants relatively recently, many restaurants had smoking and non-smoking areas, so it at least has a good precedent to have different sections of restaurants like that.

Children run around all the fucking time, they're not going to behave just because you smack them if there's company over. If anything, they'll be more misbehavesome, because it'll be Different and Exciting and New.

Naturally...

I likely won't be in reality that strict a parent, but for now I seem headed that way, but things always change once you actually have children. I don't want to be a mean, distant father, I just want well-behaved and polite children, that's all. If it takes some discipline to do that, then so be it. Plus I only really want 11 kids so my kids always have siblings to play with and I grew up in a small family of four so I've always looked at large families through rose-coloured glasses.

So put them in the absolute bestest schools you can find, because a bunch of teachers and the examples set by other well-behaved and polite children will have loads more success than you will in teaching your children to behave.

They are though. Did you even look at the website? They don't have a lunch menu, they have a luncheon menu!!

I guess Viktor didn't look at it either - he can't imagine 'upscale' places would have a "Customer Appreciation BASH!!". Nonono.

So when they say eons ago in those dinosaur documentaries they actually mean like last week?

[Pthagnar]

no dinosaur times are a long time ago, so it is a really early breakfasteon

[Risla]

Do you even have teaeon?

[Grimalkin]

No, that's for pretentious aspiring-to-be-middle-class Northerners. Us upper class southerners have supperion.

Excuse me, I think my supper lost some electrons. Could you help me find them?

[Astraios]

Just goes to prove that Southerners like that aren't actually superior to us Northerners.

[Grimalkin]

Hey, get back down the pit at once!

[Astraios]

Sure, seeing as I've totally pickpocketed your bulging southern wallet.
