Today, while at the mall, a kid no older than 5 pushed a stroller into my heel, which caught the back of my shoe and caused me to face-plant the floor in the middle of a very crowded department store. I didn't even get an apology. FML

He probably meant no harm. Just tell him Santa doesn't exist and run away.

As the parent of a five-year old, I can tell you that most of them don't know right from wrong. It sounds like a simple accident (we let our daughter push her brother sometimes, but only under strict supervision), so blaming the child here or expecting an apology is just wrong. Blaming the parents, however is justified. And by "blaming" I mean cursing them out for not watching their kid, and coincidentally teaching the kid some colourful new 4-letter words that they'll be repeating for months.

How the hell do you get punked by a 5 year old and want an apology?

21- so you are saying if some kid did you wrong you wouldn't want the parent to at least say they are sorry for their child's behavior?

So your saying that if some little kid was having fun by kicking you that you wouldn't complain or want them to at least say sorry?

You can imagine that a 5-year-old who has a baby would be a pretty nasty, bitter person. The kid has ruined her whole kindergarten experience. Babies shouldn't have babies!

Any mother can be presumptuous, not just American ones. I was also wondering where the mother was, if the kid looked no older than 5 why would she let him go off alone? And if she was there she should have made him apologize so he could learn what's proper. Either way, there's a problem there.

I don't see anything about there being another child in the stroller... could very well be the 5 year old's stroller that they were no longer sitting in

i'm a nanny and i've watched 5 year olds before. they know much more than most parents give them credit for. but, as usual, anytime the kid does something wrong - and the kid KNOWS it's wrong - they just shrug and say "it's a 5 year old, they don't know any better". i'm the one who pretty much raise the kids and teach them manners, while the parents just spoil them. at the end of the day, the kids cry when i'm leaving, not the parents, because they feel that the one who loves the most is the one who teaches them what's right or wrong. kids need discipline, and they take that as love too. giving love isn't just spoiling them.

I agree with you 100% my 3 year old son always says excuse me , apologizes, cleans up after himself without being told, not saying my son is perfect but it's really on the parenting skills and things you teach your young ones how they will most likely turn out

thank you, #33! i really do try, i can't stand nannies (and parents too!) that stay on their phone all day while the kids do whatever they think it's right. those kids are the future of the world, it would be nice if they could use simple manners rules.

Ok I'm sorry you fell, but about the apolgy part... the kid is little he probably didnt know better, sorry. But you can blame the parents.

rookie error by the kid. I was once going up a t-bar and some really slow kid just snow-ploughed into me, and then just snow-ploughed off (no apology). By really slow I mean slower than slow walking. I know how you feel, fyl.
