Bloody children!

Why didn’t I think about ranting online earlier! That would have spared me years of stupid remarks like “Calm yourself, you are going to get a heart attack”, “Don’t shout at me, I didn’t do anything!” or the shaking of heads: “What's she on about this time?”. People are dumb and never understand anything. Or maybe I'm surrounded by morons...
Anywho, I can speak my mind without having to justify or explain myself here. Honey, I’m finally home!
So, what should I start with? So many reasons to rant on this planet!
Children! Those bloody little things wreaking havoc everywhere! Apparently, people don’t have (enough) children anymore. Why would that be? How surprising, right?! But seriously, where? Give me the address so I can move over there! I may be a grumpy old coot, but I do see them and hear them everywhere I go, so I do think that all business on children shortage is a ****.
I have little nieces, cousins and friends with young children. But I see them only if I want to. And, when they start bothering me, I drop them like they’re hot. No, not on their head. I will never hear the end of it and I don’t look forward to the aggravation from their parents. No, but I can turn away from the annoying brat(s), leave the room or better even, leave their house.
But I can’t run away from my neighbour! The baby was exceptionally quiet and she almost made me change my mind about how painful children can be to be around. But she’s older now and catching up for all the years of missed opportunities to yell the house down. Yes, she’s a yeller and she doesn’t let you forget it.
This morning, I tried to sleep in after a bad night. But no, I’m not allowed that luxury! The chorus of one (occasionally joined by the parents shouting at her, at each other or at their miniature barker!) started at sunrise, as usual. Ear plugs can't block the ear-splitting high pitch screeches she emits while she plays, when she’s angry, when she’s happy, when she cries, all day long. Freak! And the dog enrols regularly out of exasperation or to sing along. I don’t know. Howling freaks!
I was losing my mind with this circus troupe so I had to buy noise cancelling headphones! I blame the parents, of course. Don’t they know they drive their neighbours mad with their constant racket? They do, but they don’t care. They should teach that Omen of a child to respect her neighbours and that rowdy little pug to shut its trap!
I hate people!
