sadly those uncles and aunties need to grow up as well. I have seen many immature middle aged people. just because they have more years behind them does not always mean that they have a mature and sensible personality, outlook or approach.
yes! i overheard one such couple in wal-mart the other day where the kids, possibly 7 and 10, were counselling their parents because the mother was throwing such a huge **** fit over something her husband had initially said she couldn't buy but then had.
i felt really bad for the family... it just seemed like a good example of two people who had NO communication skills between them and very little maturity.
and no, i dont routinely spy on walmart customers, i was browsing thru their cheapie sunglasses and they were on the other side of the stand :p
