Who was wrong in this situation?

Question

Alright so I was on the bus with my little sister[shes 10] and there were these two kids her age swearing,yelling etc at they're little brother or cousin i'm assuming,so I simply said "oh you're really nice to him". they just looked at me and laughed so basically I was like "you're really not that cool,by talking it like that it just makes you look like a rude obnoxious person".At this point his mother turned to me and glared for the rest of the bus ride.

Was I wrong for saying something?

I'm 14 btw

Answer 1

of course not!

Answer 2

Of COURSE NOT!

Those boys are peobably spoiled by their mother and she probably lets them do whatevr they want!

The only reason she glared at you was because  you recognized how horrible they were and stated it and that insults her parenting.

Answer 3

Of course you didn't do anything wrong - you told them your opinions, and you can never go wrong there. The mother just, instinctively, cared about her kids and refused to see them as anything else but perfect.

They needed a lesson in respect and manners, and if their own mother wasn't going to teach them, it's a good thing you stepped in.

Answer 4

Some parents, especially bad parents, get very upset when someone else tells their kids their behavior is improper. By calling out her kids on their bad behavior, she probably felt that you were criticizing her for not correcting them or for raising them to behave like that. But that's all in her head, and it's not your fault that she's a crappy parent.

Answer 5

I would have done the same thing there is something call freedom of speech. There has been times when I have told people to control your kids but they never listen. Also about the mom I would say do you have a staring problem lady. Or take a picture it might last longer. There was this one time where there was this kid running down the side walk and she was just getting out of the store and I said as I passed by her nice parenting skills. (with a lot of sarcasm in my voice). But this is just me if this is bothering you a lot ask your mom and see what she says or just go for your gut instinct. Bye the way I'm 26

Answer 6

I think you did the right thing because they sound like potential bullies. And you're not rude or obnoxious either. No need to worry about their mother because it seems like she needs to teach her kids some manners!  

Answer 7

Maybe it was a little intrusive and rude, but it's not like the mother was doing anything! If the kids stopped picking on the younger one after you said that, then good on you. Children aren't big or brave enough to stand up for themselves. It is up to older people to protect them, which the mother should have done. You helped that little boy, even if only for a few minutes. Don't worry about the glares the mother gave you.

Answer 8

No I would have done the same thing or something similar. Some people   just think that their kids are perfect and everyone else is rude if they say anything to their kids. Don't worry its not like you cussed them out=)

Answer 9

It's not like you got up in their faces and swore at them.  Don't worry about it.
