A social media user recounted an incident he encountered while dining at a Japanese restaurant with his family. The man’s family was peacefully enjoying their meal when a mischievous young boy from another table disrupted their experience. The boy tipped over items on the table and hit the netizen’s mother.
When the man approached the boy’s mother to address the issue, he was met with rudeness and arrogance. Instead of acknowledging her son’s inappropriate behavior, she accused the man of harassment and instructed the boy not to apologize.
Feeling frustrated by this encounter, the man took to Facebook to share his unfortunate experience. He clarified that the incident occurred during lunchtime on Sunday, June 18, at a restaurant called Ichiban Sushi in IMM.
The man explained that there was a family seated at the table behind theirs, with a mother and two children. Brochure stands were positioned between the tables. While the man and his family were enjoying their meal, one of the mother’s children, a young boy, intentionally knocked over the brochure stand on two occasions. Furthermore, the boy went beyond this mischief and physically hit the man’s mother.
When the man approached the boy’s mother to discuss her son’s actions, she responded in a rude and arrogant manner, instructing the man and his family to mind their own business. She also allegedly advised her son not to apologize.
Upon finishing their meal, the man’s mother reminded the boy’s mother of her child’s behavior. However, instead of offering an apology, the boy’s mother accused them of harassment.
Expressing his disappointment, the man questioned the kind of parenting and behavior being imparted to the next generation. He emphasized that the child’s misconduct should have been addressed and corrected rather than being condoned.
Here is the netizen’s post
I was having lunch with my family at Ichiban Boshi IMM on Sun, 18th Jun. The table behind ours sat a mother with two kids.
There was a small advertisement brochure stand placed in between the tables on the side. The boy knocked over the stand twice and hit my mother.
When I went to advise the mother to look after the son, instead of apologising, the mother rudely and arrogantly said “Look after yourselves first.”
The mom continued in a loud tone telling her son to “not apologise” and dont be worried. When we left and my mom gently reminded her of her kid’s behavior, the mom shouted and said we were harassing her.
Is this the type of parenting and behaviour we want to impart to the next generation? The kid clearly misbehaved and instead of educating him, we are now accepting such behavior?
