At What Age Can You Start Making Fun of Other Peoples Kids?
Recently my nephew had graduation from pre-school, which was a cute little event to go to. His class is really interesting because it is a real cross section of the people that live around here: middle class, straight thugs, well off, and all different races. Since I have been off school I have been able to go to a few events at his preschool and have been able to start sizing up some of the kids he is in class with. Children, in general, at the age of 4 and 5 are total freaks, which is okay because they are kids, they are supposed to be a spaz. There are some really good kids in that class and with the good there is always the bad.
At this age though you can see their personalities develop and you start finding out that there are kids that you flat out don’t like. The thing is I don’t know if I should just feel sad for the kid or if my thoughts are okay? For example one kid Jaron has straight gangsters for parents, like stereotypical down to the dress and prison ink. The kid is a thug too, he is a bully in class, already uses foul language and basically every single parent hates the kid. I was sitting in back for their graduation the other day and when he walked across the stage I said under my breath, “Wow this is the last diploma he will ever see.” Apparently I said it a little louder than I thought and got a laugh from a few of the families around me, one father had to get up and leave the room because he was busting up so hard.
So obviously other people think the same way, it doesn’t make it right or validate it but they do.
Then there is this girl Angela in his class, she is the ring leader of a lot of the trouble and you can tell she has a very demanding personality at the age of 5. She isn’t demanding in a prissy little girl type of way, she is grating and demanding in a full blown bitch type of way. You just know she is going to make a man miserable for the rest of his life, emasculating him to the point where he doesn’t sneeze without getting permission first. The parents are kind of mixed on her because she isn’t kicking the crap out of the other kids but you can see her negative, know it all attitude, rub off on some of the kids.
After graduation there was a reception, she walked by and a few of the parents and myself. One of the kids ran away from her saying “she had cooties.” Which of course led me to add, as he ran away, out of hearing distance, “Yeah one is lodged permanently in her ass.” Again I got a laugh, even one mother saying, “She is such a little bitch, I hate volunteering and dealing with her.”
Are we all just judgmental pricks? Or at age five can you start making fun of other people’s kids?
Wow… I feel the same way w/ my daughters class… there is this little girl that does nearly lap dances for the boys… when she was in pre-school, somc girls said she didn’t have fashion clothes… they are more evil at a young age, and it only get worse it seems…
Most kids are bitches and ganstas at age 5. However, my son at 18 months is straight Gangsta. Pants hanging low on the diaper, K-swiss shoes, and an attitude to match. I however, am a blonde haired blue eyed, girl next door type, and his Dad is all American- breadwinner type. I don’t know where my son gets it. You can’t always judge a kid by the parents. Nice blog. Gotta go put some more sizzurp in the sippy cup.
Yes you can! As you know I have a 5 yr old too and at his pre-school he was the only white kid. Which was fine since he gets along great with anyone. But there was the mix of straight gangster kids and middle class. It took him a month to learn some of there names, like, JaHeim, Robatu, and Tryn’Ia. You can make fun of them as long as your kid (nephew), them or their parents can’t hear you because I sure do!
first with kudos!
age 5 is the best time to start making fun of kids. my mom is a k-4 teacher and i get a laugh everytime i’m in her classroom
Oh I find it acceptable at birth as long as the parents are total douche juices themselves. It’s hilarious. OF course if somebody says something about my kids I’ll quickly bust them in the mouth, but that is the pure beauty of a hypocritical double standard. =) If you’re an asshole and your kid comes out looking like a monkey…fair game. =) ha!
We are judgemental pricks but think about it… They are going to be judged their entire life. And trust me, I’m pretty positive youre not the first one to do it. Like you said, the other parents were thinking it, you just said it out loud. Haha. The harse realities of life will kick them in the ass around the tender age of 8.
My daughter just had her preschool graduation yesterday and I know what you mean. There are some little assholes and bitches in her classroom. I must admit, it is hard not to say anything about them. She also has some very high maintenance children in her class that bug the shit out of me. You know the mother’s are just dropping them off for the day so they don’t have to deal with them, and I wouldn’t want to either.
having worked with children for 13 years, i laughed my ass off at your diploma comment. you totally can tell by age 5 or so how a child is going to be. i am an equal opportunity maker of fun. the kids are not immune to my comments. especially the moms who dress their little girls like hoochies in training at age 4. i actually made comments TO the mothers about that shit.
I don’t have kids so I am not in position to judge but if someone was to talk about my children like that.. I would probably go totally ballistic because I have been known to blow a fuse from time to time.. Personally, I think it’s the parent’s fault. Children are like clay to be molded at that age and although you can not predetermine their personality and core of their being, you can nurture them encourage them to grow into the best person possible. I think that’s the responsibility of every parent.
There is a kid in Mousie’s class all the parents hate, she is the little shit at the birthday parties kicking the clown and pushing aside the birthday boy/girl. Oh how I love little Miranda, and her parents who drop her off for the other moms to deal with, they must love her too……
Who cares about what age it’s ok to make fun of them, when is it ok to kill them or knock their heads in?
Holy shit – there’s a little freak in my daughter’s kindergarten class: Nate. I fucking loathe this kid. Little crack baby foster kid who I’m told, “just likes” my daughter… and to show her, he stabs her with pencils, fucks up her hair, pushes her, slaps her, and generally makes life living hell on a daily basis.
A few weeks ago we walked into school, he immediately started fucking with her and made her cry. Since I can’t just kick the little prick’s ass, I hugged my daughter and said REALLY LOUD, “Kids like that don’t matter, honey. Nobody likes them and nobody cares about them, because they’re such little jerks.”
Nate’s loser Trekkie-Convention-Going foster dad wasn’t there… too bad, cause I really wouldn’t mind kicking that shithead’s ass either.
haha, that was to funny as to what you said about that little gangsta kid. haha
So funny!!! The one girl will make her husband miserable for sure.
Nice page change.
I never bothered to make fun of them until Jr High. The drama made me wanna puke. High school is worse.
I can’t wait until my girls are done with that.
I think you can make fun of other people’s kids at any age…well, at least I do…
Age holds no limits for me. If I see a friends baby and that baby is really ugly (which is really rare), I will flat out say that you have one ugly baby…haha.
Loved your response to the kid with gangsta looking parents. I wouldn’t doubt if that wouldn’t be his last diploma…lol.
By all means, these behaviors are learned, so if the child is already being nurtured into a future bitch gold digger, thug, or potential serial killer, why not? They are likely learning it from their home environment, and reality will set in sooner than you think, anyway. Nothing wrong with being perceptive. In fact, I plan on scrutinizing the kids my children will be around early, to prevent the same exposure rubbing off on my kid!
I loved this article. Hilarious comments at the graduation!
I think it is perfectly acceptable to make fun of other people’s kids at just about any age just as long as you aren’t saying it to the kid. I mean you sure don’t want to scar the kid for life. I said something about a baby being ugly. Most babies are so beautiful but there are some that just make you cringe. Is it wrong to actually notice that or should we all live in a fantasy world?
I kind of take issue with the claim you were making fun of them, you were actually making observances based on behavior and attitude. My son went all through school with a boy named Josh (slightly changed) he was an over-weight, over-bearing bully that event eh teachers would sigh and roll their eyes over when dealing with him. He walked up to me in the third grade and said, “I don’t like you bitch.” To which I replied, “You don’t have to, you are not all that and a bag of chips now go sit down.” The teacher about strangled on her tongue.
I’d love to lay the blame on the parents for some of these miscreants (I’m a caustic jade and so is my kid), but I watched as more than one parent just looked like they were on the edge of a mental abyss when dealing with Spawn of Satan. Another example, Dino (slightly changed). I know his parents and his siblings, not a one is a raging festering boil on the backside of humanity the way this google eyed butt-flake is. He calls everyone fag, contantly starts fights, and simply has no clutch between brain and mouth. If he thinks it he says it, like the time he told the new young and attractive teacher that she had a “nice rack” and could he “suck a teat.” The kid was 12 at the time. He wasn’t much better at five with his recitation of “monkey see, monkey do monkey piss all over you.” HIs parents are good hard working people who nearly beat the kid insensible for some of his other incidents, like in fourth grade when he tried to flush a kindergartner head first in the toilets and started a riot in the bathroom.
There is evidence of The Bad Seed and there is also evidence to support environmental influences, like the one young lad who announced to the class that his dad was in the SCI (state correctional institute) for GTA (grand theft auto). My poor nephew, grade three, was so scared he studied like a kid possessed until we figured out that he misunderstood GTA as GPA. Third graders shouldn’t be able to toss out prison jargon like bad television shows but there ya go. Another youth that will be lucky to graduate junior high let alone the real deal.

OMG!!! I had a friend who has three daughters. As babies all of them looked like Alice the Goon from the old Popeye shows. I was so staggered by their sheer hideousness I never said a word, my throat simply locked. They look marginally better today as pre-teens. I just hope the mom can aford plastic surgery for them. Those noses are freakish.
I think you can make fun of another person’s child, and the parent, as well, when the child has clearly become so worthy of it. I mean, I don’t think it is okay ever to make fun of a little kid because of the clothes he or she is wearing, or because he or she might be overweight, or might have some physical or mental disability that differentiates that child from others. Having said that, when a child is a spoiled little brat, or a know it all, or a bully, or has already adopted some annoying personality trait, yeah, I think it is acceptable. Who knows, perhaps someone will say something to that child early enough to initiate some behavior modification sooner, rather than later.
Ok I admit I hate brats… but most children I met are very good natured. The ones who acted up were either really spoiled or over indulged.
When I’d take my little brother to pre-school, I’d stay an extra 15 minutes or so to help him write his name and get settled down (because the teacher was useless), and honestly most of the kids were good kids. There WAS this one super-mega-bitch named Claire, my brother calls her “Big Claire”. She was just a little bossy, know-it-all MONSTER! She’d smack kids around and just make them feel horrible with her smartass mouth, I wanted to smack her. And..her mother wasn’t much better. Just as ignorant as her little brat offspring.
Well, I can totally relate to this article. The kids around here and at my daughters school are something else and anyone who knows me knows that I don’t hold my tongue for much!
I think it is perfectly acceptable to make fun of any kid that can walk, talk (even if we can’t understand them), and do damage. There’s a few kids on this block that annoy the shit out of me and they KNOW how I feel…*sigh* Does that mean I’m going to hell? Ah well, see you there! LOL

I’ve learned with those babies that if they are friends to just call them “precious” because “precious” doesn’t mean “cute”, and then you’re not lying…=)Also, “oh don’t they look just like their mommy” works as well…
Shit..
you mean they MAY have been an age-limit???
Woooopsi

Eyy essa, u talk about my kid dat way again and your dick is mine holmes.
When I finish feeding ur dick to my dog, my son and I are going to go pick up angela and her mommy. I’m going to marinate her pink meat allll night long.
There is no age limit to making fun of ANYBODY.
Is it just me or are kids getting ruder? I’ve seen little kids complimenting women about the size of their ass. If I did something like that as a kid I would have gotten my ass beaten and I probably wouldn’t be alive to write this.

Ummm, you bought him the low hanging pants and the K swiss shoes. That’s where he gets it.
My family plays this game where we call people as our boyfriend/girlfriend based on their entire lack of desirability. I called a kid who was probably 7 the other day, and his parents. He had the jedi haircut…short, but with a random ponytail in the back, and a long, long braid.
My point is that I don’t give a shit…I will rip on anyone.
Ha Ha all kids are fair game!!!!!!! the diploma comment was priceless and sadly can be true hopefully not… or on the positive side he can be a rapper with a clothing line, sports drink and all the bitches and hoes he can count…. and mabey that girl in your nephews class can be in one of his videos lol…
I say have fun. I used to work in a daycare center and ive worked with kids ages 18 months to 12, Really I think you can start seeing those traits around 2 or 3… 5 is a good age to start poking fun though lol
Good stuff Kevin! Kudos…I have a friend who works at the preschool my girl just graduated from…and she could tell some good stories. There’s always the spazz that stands out from the rest, and demon spawn, and bossies, etc. but no gangster kids here.
i don’t make fun of kids for things they can’t help — but for brattiness, rudeness or being a bully, heck yeah. although even then, it’s usually the parents that i’m ripping on.
fun = than seeing a little kid with a mullet that the parents have had him growing for the entire 5 years of his life — then looking around and guessing which 2 in the crowd are his parents. cuz that’s right — it’ll be the 2 with the matching mullets.
I am truely completely prejudice when it comes to kid’s… parents! Man how different I seem to be when it comes to thoughts on what a kid should be allowed to do and not. The only parent so far I completely respect is my sister who is the most patient person in the world.
10 Kudos for making fun of kids!
I think, as soon as you are able to speak, you can smack talk, nothing burns you harder than when a three year old yells back at you YO MAMA!

Some kids are little bastards from the time they are two and without out good parents (read:beatings) they will not change.
One little sweetheart in my sister’s daycare was bounced around so much he was eventally blackballed in the home daycare system in that state. The five year old future felon called my sister a “fat bitch” the first day and hit other kids. He was banned from her daycare immediately. He had a mother who didn’t pay attention to him. She DIDN’T EVEN WORK and she put the kid in daycare so she could play with her horses.
Kids need attention and discipline. NO, I have no kids but I have seen too many of them like those you and you readers describe. If I even made a bad face to an adult, much less use vile language, I would have been BEATEN TO A PULP by my parents. I just don’t get why some people think their kids are immune to punishment.
I was the skeptical bitch kiddie. I would leave my activity books out so another kid would try to take them and then not let him or her have them. I believe I was about 4 at the time.
I really don’t like kids PERIOD. Is it wrong to throw things at them?
