Disgusting Behavior

Parents allow kid to poo in public

at crowded Ion foodcourt

A STOMPer's friend was disgusted when the family seated at the table next to hers at Opera foodcourt in Ion allowed their daughter to poop in a potty right in the middle of the place.

Says this STOMPer's friend:

"My friend showed me this photo while she was at Opera foodcourt at Ion.

"It's at about 7 pm on a Saturday, meaning there are a LOT of people and this family of three generations were seated at the table next to her.

"One of the girls' needed to take a dump, so they took out a pot for her to dump in...right in the middle of the foodcourt.

"She said it was damn smelly and gross because she was seated right next to them.

"So uncivilised."

Bringing Up Parents

"To teach graciousness to children, begin with their parents."

An example of parents needing parenting:

A father goes to the supermarket and place his trolley in the middle of a passageway with child in the trolley. He then begins teaching his child by pointing to things in the supermart saying, "This is an apple, that is an orange, the other is ..."

This 'anecdote' happened at the NTUC FairPrice Sembawang supermarket in the morning today. The passageway totally blocked, and other shoppers were unable to get through. The stares from the people at the father did not help, because the parent was totally oblivious to surroundings, because his world is the child, not earth.
