Why would you tell anyone, let alone a child, that in the first place?
And i couldnt even say anything
Uuuh yes, you could have said “Sorry that was unnecessary and rude of me”
admitting that one made a mistake? Unthinkable!
True, it’s almost as bad as showing feelings as an adult
I have found the best way to deal with upset children is to confirm to them that “feelings are the hardest part of growing up”
it doesn’t make anything better but it does help them feel more accepted
The number of times I’ve been told “you’re allowed to have feelings, but maybe express those feelings in another place” is too damn high.
Mostly by my ex wife.
Glad she’s your ex, then. You don’t deserve that from someone who is supposed to love and support you.

Sir, I am sorry we can’t sell you a shamrock shake…this is a Wendy’s.
Sobs uncontrollably.
I know it wasn’t anything like this, but for some reason this is one of the scenarios I imagined.
See, that’s what I would classify as maybe an emotional response that doesnt match the situation normally.
If someone did do that, clearly they are going through shit a lot worse than shamrock shakes not being Wendy’s things. And I probably still wouldn’t tell them to find another place to cry.
From my experience, this would evoke an unusually extreme rage response.
Source: worked at a DQ for multiple years.
Wait. DQ doesn’t have a shamrock shake either?! rages uncontrollably
As an aside, i got stuck behind a Karen in the drive-through the other day. I felt their pain.
At least it wasn’t “your feelings are wrong”
IMO men who cry are stronger than others. It takes quite some strength to say “Fuck it, I’m crying now” in front of other people, especially in front of other men.
you can choose if you cry or not?
I don’t feel like it’s something you can choose. You may be able to resist it, but should you?
sometimes you can, sometimes you can’t. there are ways you can deal with emotions other than crying, but sometimes you just can’t really hold back from crying.
Well at least I can try to suppress my urge to cry, like I’ve been told over and over again in my childhood.

Yes aruge with a crying child
A school should be teaching kids how the workforce is going to be! These lazy teachers should be imparting valuable skills, like bottling emotions so you don’t get deductions!
What kind of hell do you work in? You’re boss deducts your wage for crying? If I had something happen while at work and started crying my boss would probably tell me to take the rest of the day off with pay and to let him/her know of I needed anything else.
I’m in Texas in the USA… Probably one of the most anti-employee places to work and still get this… Is your boss literally Satan?
23% of US workers don’t even get a single day of paid sick leave, let alone an unscheduled paid day off to cry.
Hell, it wasn’t that long ago that Amazon was in the news for having their employees continue to work while the body of their dead coworker lay on the floor.
I think your sarcasm detector might be broken or out of batteries or something.
I mean… I cried at my work once and got told to work faster
