So basically they interrupt there kids unannounced and shut shit down like they did something wrong which they didn't. Then are suprised they get a backslash for there shit.
Maybe next time the kids should steal the car keys so they can't get to there job / whatever "important thing" they got to visit and then say you did it on purpose because you are gassing our future on this planet. Also time for one parent to stop working and actually spend some quality time with us kids. Oh wait you like your big house / luxurious life to much.
Lets see how mom and dad reacts.
The fact they do this, is exactly why those kids go so berserk on them. Its called failed parenting.
Wtf? First off, I agree turning the tv off without warning is bullshit.
But the rest of your post is some serious bullshit too.
1. Turning off my tv is not the same as my child stealing my car keys. Sure, one is rude and uncalled for... But it is my tv. The other is pure theft.
2. Yes, a job is an "important thing" despite you trying to imply it isn't by putting quotes in. And yes, what I ask my children to do is more important than them playing fortnight. Don't get me wrong, I think it's crazy that the average house in the US has 2.8 tv's. but that's in large part because many things that were once considered expensive luxury items are now commonplace, even in low income homes. Thanks technology. Thanks capitalism.
3. Steal the keys because the parents are gassing the future? Yeah, no. Parents working to get their kids through this world are building the future. Kids fucking around on fortnight are not saving anyone by stealing car keys. Maybe the parents should quit their jobs and start protesting? Or maybe they are being responsible and putting food on the table, and don't have time to scream in people's faces because they have a job and, you know, kids.
4. Yeah. I wish only one parent had to work too. But I also understand that when you effectively double the workforce, wages go down. Imagine that. Maybe it would also help if we stopped trying to ship every kid to expensive colleges to get worthless degrees and started advocating trade schools as much as we advocate degrees.
5. Big house? Yeah, they must be evil right? So evil that their kid is playing fortnight on a large screen tv instead of going outside and playing. Or maybe those parents busted their asses so they'd be in a responsible position to have children. And one should quit? Which One? What if neither want to? Don't get me wrong, I agree it's better if only one parent works. But I do not assume that is a possibility in every situation. Responsible parents are trying to build a platform for their children to excel and succeed. Hard work and dedication pay off, and yes some parents cannot balance that well with having children. But that does not make success evil in and of itself.

Again, I agree just turning off a tv is bad parenting, without context. If the parent already warned them? Maybe it isn't. But the while these temper tantrums may be the result of overworked and/or absent parenting, they may also jut be the machinations of entitled brats fed too much crap tv and not enough discipline. If a parent has reached the point where their only choice is to turn off the tv, then turn off the tv.
But your ridiculous post is even worse. 'Yeah, fuck those parents putting food on the table, go steal their car keys and end global warming.' Talk about a failed education.
