    I was at a Christmas concert for kids. Soon as a grade performed, all the parents who saw their kids got up and left. Right up until the last class who performed for almost nobody. Society can suck

      When I was a kid parents stayed through the whole damn thing… I know that we’re a society strapped to the grindstone of perpetual labour for peanuts and all but we should remember our community and support system extends beyond just our families. If you want a nice society you got to make the effort to care about making it better.

      When I was in school they tried randomizing the performance order so you wouldn’t know when your kid was playing. When that didn’t work they decided to not release the children to their parents until the whole concert was over
