People are people, but some people are bigger cunts than others

The Lid and I are standing outside Nursery, waiting to go in. I am, as per usual, being silly and acting as the unofficial children's supervisor whilst their parents look through them and speak with the other parents.

To one side of us, there is a small child of perhaps two, crying copiously.  Her elder sister, around four, is also crying and asking mummy to stop it.

Mummy is too busy having a full blown argument with her partner / ex partner on the phone.  There is swearing, lots of "you don't love these effing children", recriminations aplenty.  Plenty of focus on her. Literally, despite our attempts to avert our gaze.

It's impossible not to get pissed off with a co parent, regardless of your relationship with them.  Seriously though, a time and a place, eh, and certainly not at all when it comes to upsetting your children.

Fact is - people are cunts, every single one of 'em - just some people aren't cunts like we are.  They are much, much bigger cunts. 

That is all.  Continue.
