Our young kids.

Saw a rather unpleasant incident this morning though it got nothing to do with me, neither does it affect my life at that moment, but just wanna share here.

Was makaning my late breakfast before making my way to office at my place coffeeshop, then came 1 bespectacled young gal, maybe 8-9yo, together with her a domestic petite maid, carrying another baby gal, maybe 2-3yo. Well, the normal sight where the young gal go order some take away food, and that maid standing behind her. As the young gal done with her ordering over here, she walks to another stalls else where. But the maid was still standing at this particular store, seemly lost and not sure what to do or maybe waiting to collect the ordered food, since the young mistress had went elsewhere to order some other stuff. Then came a not so patient voice... Not screaming, but loud enough to put her point across of her displeasure,

"Come here lah, you don't know how to follow me, is it?!?"
Then the young maid scrambles to collect the food that was previously ordered and moves herself to her young mistress’s new position. Once arrived there, the young gal handover the additional stuffs she ordered and further telling her off.

The small little episode sets me wonders... kids is a mirror image of their family upbringing, and clue of what their parents is like in handling PR between people. So am I right to assume that what the young gal did in the coffeeshop... meaning telling her off, and giving no respect of a person, is similarly what the parents would do at home at times. At least, this is the impression I am having and it just based on my assumption.

But such behaviour, personally I think is a bad influence, cos it gives our young kid the impression that it is ok to verbally abuse other of lower ranks, regardless of how the receiving end feels. Total oblivious to the surrounding and others, set an individual to be a self centered, low EQ person.

A scary world in the making!!!
