20 pages in and no one even wants to know what kind of crafts they were going to make. I hope that after 45 minutes the dad was able to find the aisle with the Bedazzlers on it and be done already.

I have dealt with kids on a regular basis since I was 10. The ones that never get disciplined rule their households and the parents do what the kids tell them. The house is usually a disaster as well. My friend has twin 3 year old girls that do what they are told. Sure they get loud and fussy but when he puts his foot down they calm down and do what they are told. They act like humans in public and I think they have got about 3 spankings ever. Sounds like you are just an apologetic moron like most of the other posters in this thread. Excuses/excuses.
You apparently don't know the difference between discipline and hitting. You don't realize that there are a very broad spectrum of discipline responses and you get better results from positive reinforcement than negative reinforcement. Even someone who has learned how to train a dog knows that much.
You may call me a moron, but that doesn't change the fact that you and I both know that you don't know what you're talking about and your opinion is uninformed.0 -
You have confirmed my faith in myself that I am a very good judge of character.You can't make that statement. You don't know what our childhoods were like. It would be quite difficult to make your children's better.
Sure I can. You encouraged it by attempting to turn this into a contest of who's child turns out better.
If my children have a childhood as good as yours or hers, minus the hitting, I'll be satisfied that it is better. So there's that.
After arguing that if there were no bruises or cuts it must be OK, there isn't really much left for you to say. Unless you feel you can go lower?
Thank you for that.
Sorry if my lack of desire to hit little children diminishes me in your eyes. Somehow I think I'll live.0 -
I often entertain clients. I pay a lot of money for time with them; and we deserve the right to enjoy our meal & with the ambiance that is paid for.
One of my favorite memories happened last year. There where 7 of us and after many appetizers we were waiting for our (expensive) entrees.
In comes an idiot with his family....including his spawn. The spawn starts wailing non stop & the parents were oblivious. After a while I called the waitress over and said she had to do something. She said she didnt know what to do. I said shut that kid up or move the people.
The weasel faced dad overheard me and took offense. He gave me a look he couldnt back up, and made a remark I couldnt hear. I got up, walked straight towards his table and you could see he knew he was in trouble. LOL I stared straight at him as I walked by and took the waitress by the arm and told her I wanted the manager, NOW.
I brought the manager to our area (the spawn was still screaming) and I told him I wanted the family moved or he could bring my check and cancel our order. The manager told the people they had to leave, not move, but leave!!
Afterwards we then received a round of drinks from one of the other appreciative tables nearby.
BTW - to the poster who thinks those with college degrees have a better grasp on life - you have proven one can have all the "edge u makation" in the world, and without wisdom, still be a drooling "idjet".0 -

Hmmm... perhaps he was Christmas shopping and wasn't quite sure what to buy. Hmmm... perhaps the umpteen other people were in the store shopping and the lines were long.
Hmmm... perhaps the OP should have realized that the store is open to the general public and therefore, people are allowed to shop there, even with screaming children.0 -
I have a lot of patience for parents with kids on planes, in buses, etc. when there's nowhere they can go to calm the screaming child down. But if you're in a store or restaurant, I think it's common courtesy to remove the child from the situation if they can't be calmed down and the noise is going on and on and on.
I'm sure it's not ideal, but having a child is a choice.0 -

No one is saying you "can't" shop in a store with a screeching child, but yeah, if your kid is screaming at the top of its lungs as you mosey down the aisles, yeah, people are going to get aggravated.
Believe me, if stores had an equivalent of "adult swim" for an hour where I could go grocery shopping/clothes shopping/to a restaurant in peace, I would totally do it so that shoppers and their screeching children could shop in a "judgment free zone".0 -

Sorry... I checked out of this thread like a million pages ago. I may have missed something. :grumble:0 -
I have a 5 year old and he throws tantrums often. I refuse to slap him, I have found that taking away one of his favorite toys, or a privilege (his wii mainly) he straightens up and acts right but if hes upset, I pick him up and carry him away from whatever is making him upset I give him time to calm down. Patience is key for parenthood.0

I made several pine cone bird feeders this summer.
You should totally be jealous. If you're not, I may spank you.0 -
keep the child in line?0

See, this is why I have cats instead. No tantrums, plus they clean up their own crap.0

So is shopping in a CRAFTS store that caters to the wants/needs of children and adults alike.0 -

Well 1 in 100 kids are born autistic. Plus there are other mental disorders that afflict children.0 -

Lol I don't agree with all the stupid people saying "You obviously don't have kids"
I work in a daycare and deal with children throwing tantrums often.
They need to be disciplined.
I'm not saying, "hit your children" but if you "plead" for your kid to stop , it's not going to work.
I would in NO way let my kids act like that in public.
So I'm with you on this.
My kids are excellent and it's because they're disciplined.
I think the people saying "you obviously don't have kids" Obbviouuusly have issues controlling their own children.
I think you should obviously be fired if you are "with" the OP "on this"0
