A Family With Three Kids On Vacation Tried To Throw Themselves A Pity Party, Got Roasted Instead

Some folks think that because they are going through hardship, they have the right, perhaps even the imperative, to make it everyone else’s problem, never mind that it’s their own fault anyway. Normally, the vast majority of us can just avoid these cases, but sometimes circumstances, for example, a flight, force us to be around them.

A family went viral online for all the wrong reasons recently, after a dad posted a rather self-righteous video, mocking other airline passengers for trying to relax while his three children (all under three) were causing a ruckus. Netizens banded together to call him out for thinking that having kids entitled him to some sort of special treatment.
