I take my child off. (Rant coming... Feel free to stop reading now)

I have a huge issue with entitlement. I do not want to teach my children that they are entitled to anything. Our society raises children who grow into adults with self entitlement issues. Think about it, if a child opens a chocolate at a supermarket it's the stores fault for having it in reach (erm no). If there's a pass the parcel there us a treat in every layer... and I could go on and on.

If someone was eating something I wouldn't let my child grab it out of their hands because they wanted it. Yes chocolates at eye level are a PITA, so are $2 rides... But it's part of learning. Yes there will be meltdowns and tantrums but its ok! It's part of learning. Yeah it's a PITA for you if they meltdown, but letting them get on the ride every time they see it isn't going to help them to learn anything. I hate quick fixes. Poor kids never learn anything then just because its easier on the parent.

And alternate happy shiny rainbows situation, minus the rant... If they offered for my child to stay on I would say thank you and make sure my child too thanked them.
