Other parents, urgh!

SO, I didn't want to rant in my last post, but I have to rant about the day as well.

I hate dealing with ignorant parents that have no clue about the rest of the world. Most the time we were sledding today it was our group from school. We had a great system where some were up on the hill and some were down helping the kids get off their sleds and clearing the path for the next person to go. We were very conscious about waiting for people to be cleared from the run before sending anyone down, taking turns and general sled hill etiquette.

There was a dad and his son that came about the same time as us, the boy was probably around 8, so much older than our group. He was the most impatient SOB I've met in a while. He kept giving us looks, yelling down from the top to hurry and move (we went about half way up where he was more at the top, we were standing at the top of our run when he would yell). He was just an ass. He finally moved along to another part of the hill.

Then towards the end of our trip another group showed up, two moms w/5 kids between them. Then came up to the run we were at, which is fine. That being said, they, the moms, were being asses in general. There was a clear run that we were going around and then the sides we were climbing back up. Instead of starting the 1st one on the run, she tries to put her to the side, she got about a foot before the sled got stuck. Mom then proceeded to yell at the girl until she finally stood up and they got here moved over 3 ft to the actual run. Way to go genius!
Then there was the boy that went down, hit the bump and bailed off, landing on his arm funny. He was at the bottom crying and just sitting in the snow. The other mom kept yelling "get up and move your sled!" Hi, dumbass, he's hurt, or at least thinks he is, go down and help him out of the way. After yelling at him for a couple if minutes I finally looked up and said "I think he's hurt." She said back, "he's fine, get up and move your sled (for the 10th time)" So she finally trekked down and picked him up by the arm (the other arm) and grabbed his sled and moved him down to the bottom. Yeah, they stood there for about 10 minutes because he wasn't feeling well.
Same set of moms watched as there girl bailed off and bonked her head. She was a little daised and not getting up, they yelled some more (big surprise). Our firefighter dad went over to her to see if she was okay and said that she looked a little groggy. Finally they came to her and took her away. We left shortly after this last episode.

I hate stupid people, especially when they involve their kids.
