Parents egged on bad behavior at event
Where is Greensboro’s common courtesy?
I have lived here most of my life, and I have always been proud to call it my hometown. That was, until last Saturday during the egg hunt at the Grasshoppers’ stadium.
At a time when most children should be excited about the games and fun event, there were instead heartbreaks and tears, anger and frustration.
And who was to blame? The parents.
Most people would want to set a good example for their children, teaching them manners and how to share. Instead, I had to deal with parents who encouraged their children to cut in line.
This is not the only time that I have seen Greensboro lose its common courtesy. Is it really necessary to cut people off when driving, never bothering to use your turn signal? At a time in our lives when everyone is struggling to make ends meet, you would think that people would stop and be blessed for what they have instead of what they can take from others.
This is a beautiful city with so much to give. It would be nice to see its people do the same, instead of thinking, “What can I get?”
