naughty children in public places

In for the impending dookie storm

Real talk.

You know what, it's the children who aren't brought out in public from an early age that are little aholes in public.

Generally if they are used it, they know how to act.


Not all kids are bad or have parents who let them act like monkeys/

Yup pretty much.


I found this story funny and would have high-fived the guy.

I'm just here for the pie. Especially the Hershey Sundae pie.

Children don't learn unless you take them places. You were one of those naughty children way back when so suck it up.

Due to life sucking and necessity, we had to take our kid (who is normally decent) shopping for floors for the house we're building at a time he would normally be getting ready to go to bed.

He of course acted up a little.

Long story short, sometimes kids are put into positions to fail out of necessity.

whew....based on the title I thought this was going to be something I had to report......both to the MFP mods and the local authorities.

I agree, it's a crime to be out of pie.

In for wild generalizations and knock-down-drag-out fights about parenting.

Seriously. I'm in. I'm going to sit here and drink beer by the pool while you all do this. Ok?

Actually I wasn't, because I knew if I started up I'd get my a** beat.

I really do try to avoid being around children, even relatives. Walmart seems to be infested with poorly supervised obnoxious children. A little girl was running around making a ton of noise. She made eye contact and I very sternly said "No." and shook my head. I'm thinking I scared her because she shut right up. One of these days I might get a beatdown from a parent that doesn't appreciate it.

I find it funny to read about your distaste for children with your profile pic of a child.

When we were much younger my husband was eating some general Tsoas chicken that was pretty spicy. My niece was a little hellion and came over to DH, DEMANDING a bite of his chicken. She was about 4-5 if I remember correctly but even as a 20 year old she still behaves this way. Anyway, he tried to tell her it was spicy/hot and she wouldn't like it but she kept demanding so being the gentleman he is, he gave her a bite. He may have made sure there was even a pepper on it for her. She started chewing and realized her plan had gone horribly, horribly wrong. That was the last time she ever asked DH for a bite of anything.

My youngest (10) is currently in swimming lessons at the local high school and has been all summer. You want to see some stellar parenting you should go hang out near the locker rooms! Today I actually thanked my 10 year old for being a great kid who listens, takes care of her own business and is a joy to be around. Between the parents and the kids at the pool I am usually ready to hurt someone by the time we leave. I have never seen so much helicopter parenting as in the girls locker room! I usually just go outside and wait for my kid to come out and apparently she's a rare and beautiful gem that can actually manage to remember her underpants and to bring her towel.

Eh, who gives a *kitten*, just look back at your cell phones and continue to ignore everything around you like the good little mindless minions that society is rapidly producing. :drinker:

My mom was telling me of the only time she recalls me being a little *kitten* in public. I started to throw a temper tantrum then immediately stopped, looked around, then asked "Do you think Santa saw that?" One and done.

Based on some of the responses to this thread, I must say:

There are two kinds of parents in the world:
1. Parents who have a child that has acted bad in public
2. Parents who lie about their child/children never acting up in public.


I must say that my kids are pretty good; but, they have made an *kitten* of themselves in public before. In today's world, we as parents are very limited in the discipline that can be applied in public and taking the kid and leaving is not always an option.

Just because you see a specific child misbehaving at a given point in time at a specific place does not mean that the child is an evil child or the parents are bad parents.

If the kid is cussing and hitting, I'm going to go with, "Yeah, it does mean that."

I would like to buy this guy a pie.
