Believe me, Im a kindergarten teacher. Once mom and dad are gone even the best kids act like brats sometimes!

All kids are monsters sometimes. I understand that. I just lose my grip when they act like monsters to an animal. I come from a long line of animal lovers. One of my youngest and strongest memories is of staying at my grandma''s house and watching her comfort her herd of pets during a really bad storm. I told my kids from a very young age that animals don't understand things the way we do and that they need us to protect them, provide for them and to respect that they have feelings too. Don't treat an animal in a way that would hurt or upset you. General "golden rule" stuff applied to all living things.

I have to admit i was a bit stunned, once I stopped laughing, that some parent thought that was cute and posted it online. My baby/toddler treated a pet like that i'd be both pissed and ashamed.
