Spiderman in Penn Station

Sometimes parents really seem to amaze me with how to deal with their children. I was in Penn station the this weekend and saw these two little boys literally full out fighting each other. Don't get me wrong it was really cute but also really scary for the boy that was loosing the fight. As in most fights that happen there was crowd of people surrounding these boys as they fought each other. I don't think that many people whole have been watching them besides the fact that they were wearing spiderman costumes. 

These kids weren't gentle with each other at all. They were really going at it, rolling on the floor and everything. Now these kids were around 5 years old so there punches to each other probably didn't really hurt that much but they totally seemed like they wanted to kill each other. They were yelling and screaming at each as if they were in their house, everyone could hear them. It was nuts. 

What really surprised me the most was that the mother was right there in front of them watching her kids beat each other up in public and didn't care or try to stop them. She was laughing and talking to her friends the whole time. I don't know how long they were there for because I only walked past them but they looked like weren't leaving anytime soon. 

I thought the whole thing was funny especially since they were in spiderman costumes, it was your typical NYC  mom who was more focused on her social life than her children. After living here for about 2 years now I've now come to good understanding on how NYC moms like to live their lives having children. What I saw in Penn Station was a great example of that.
