Parents: Watch your kids.

[Death Metal Moe]

<p>I was at a wholesale club store last night shopping for some stuff.&nbsp; As I am walking through a couple asiles, I notice a little kid climbing all over some boxes underneath the shelving.&nbsp; I kinda ignore the kid and walk away, browsing the stereo section.</p><p>As I turn the corner and pick up my pace, the little fucking beggar runs right out in front of me and I almost bowl the kid over with my shopping cart.&nbsp; Or course his parents were nowhere around.&nbsp; But if a big guy like me had hurt the kid, I'd look like the fucking horrible monster.&nbsp; As he ran away, all I could do was hold my tongue and look away.&nbsp; I was so fucking pissed off I felt a couple walking near me who saw the whole thing staring at me, probably looking at how motherfucking pissed off I was at this little rat bastard child.</p><p>Later on before checking out, I saw the little bastard again with his mother and sibling.&nbsp; They were running around opening plastic cookie packages taking what they wanted.</p><p>Please parents, if you're gonna have kids, watch them.&nbsp; If you had kids by accident, realize you made the choices that led to you having a kid and get more responsible.&nbsp; </p><p>Don't have kids becuase all your friends had them or your parents are pressuring you to have them.</p><p>And most importantly, KEEP THEM OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY.</p>

[docgoblin]

Kids are horrible! I only had my three so I could sell them into slavery. I hope they're behaving... Wherever they are.<br />

<strong><font face="courier new,courier,monospace" size="2">If kids are running wild in public, and their parents aren't doing anything about it, you should be legally permitted to smack the parents.</font></strong>

<p>I am fucking amazed at what kids get away with in public nowadays.&nbsp; If I pulled ANY of that shit around my grandparents or parents, I got a smack and was dragged out of the store until I behaved.</p><p>I saw two kids climbing on a display at TJMaxx while their mother was talking on a cell phone in line.&nbsp; Someone even told them to get off.&nbsp; Well they sat on it and broke it, and all the product flew off the display and onto the floor.&nbsp; The kids start laughing, and what does the mother do?&nbsp; Shrug at the employees cleaning up the mess, smile and signal for the kids to go outside.&nbsp; Made the EMPLOYEES clean up the mess her kids made.&nbsp; Holy shit, If I did that when I was 10, I would have been grabbed and forced to pick up the entire thing, then probably smacked outside.&nbsp; I didn't get beat or anything but I got smacked if I did something wrong.</p><p>My sister is crazy, but on the way out, the kids were in the parking lot and she sped up and revved the engine at them to try and scare the shit out of them and it worked.</p>

[FreshJ]

I think the problem comes that there is no discipline left, everything is tooo pc.&nbsp; You can't hit a child because it may be considered Child abuse.&nbsp; And yet to some kids that is the only thing that will keep them in line.&nbsp; Like sitting in a corner is real torture.&nbsp; NO way.<br />

Yes.</p>

[J.Clints]

<p>I just want to say I have 1 child who is 6 and another on the way. My son stands beside me in stores and dose what he is told. I am not saying he is perfect cause he is not by far. But He is under control. </p><p>&nbsp;I do feel the same as you guys. Parents who can not control there kids need to be bitch slaped. </p>

[docgoblin]

I do have three kids (17, 14, 9) who have always been extremely well behaved in public and when visiting other people. We have recieved many compliments on their behavior. We've been very lucky in that respect. I see some kids nowadays and cringe. The way they act in public is a disgrace! I agree with many of you when I see some kid acting like a jerk in a store, and their asshole parent is standing on line talking on the phone. Its the most infuriating thing in the world. If you dare say something then you're the asshole.<br />

[Jennitalia]

i hate going out to eat and having to deal with loud, bratty kids.&nbsp; the parents that let their kids roam around the restaurant because they think it's just the most adorable thing.&nbsp; and when the waitresses constantly run into them, almost knocking over the tray of food they're carrying, and then the parents have the nerve to give the waitress an attitude because they almost&nbsp;hurt their precious darling. &nbsp;You can't expect a child to sit and be quiet and behave for a long period of time.&nbsp; even if they are disciplined well, they still lack patience and get bored easily.&nbsp;&nbsp; so get a babysitter or stay home.&nbsp; just because your quiet dinners are forever ruined by these rugrats, doesnt mean you have to ruin mine.

thanks for the sig idea!!!<br />

[JesterOfSadness]

<p>Some kids these days just dont listen,period. About 5 yrs ago I worked at the local water park, and the associates would constantly tell the kids to stop running or else they'll fall and get hurt.</p><p>Well pretty much everyday, we'd have to close the kiddie pool not from one pissing/shitting in it, but cause they decided to run,fall and smack their head right into the ground..leaving a nice kool-aid cherry color filled pool.</p><p>And who gets yelled at? Us.</p><p>Many parents know how to take care of there kid, but the others pretty much ruin it for them.</p>

This is one thing that worries me about having a kid--how it's going to act in
public. I plan to keep an eye on mine, and if she acts up in the least we are leaving
the store or wherever we are. I'll never let mine run around and do shit like you all
have been describing. If mine can't control herself for any reason, I won't take her
out in public anywhere until she's an adult.

[Skellington]

<p>Report it.&nbsp; I used to work at 'Another Universe' (comic book store) in the mall when i was in highschool.&nbsp; people would seriously drop their fucking kids off then LEAVE and go shopping.&nbsp; Sorry, i'm not a baby sitter.&nbsp; Parents would actually come in and ASK us where their kids where and WHY WEREN'T WE WATCHING THEM!&nbsp; Actually that i'd watch intently.&nbsp; As soon as i saw the parent bring the kid in then leave without the kid, i'd call security and report a abandoned child.&nbsp; It caused a lot of frantic parents when upon return, their kid was not there and last we saw was two grown men leading their tyke away....</p>

fair enough

my mom wouldnt take us to &quot;grown up&quot; restaurants or shopping when we were little.&nbsp; She says you can't expect a child to behave for that long of a time.&nbsp; If we did go out and even attempted to act like some of these little monsters I see now, we would be corrected.

<p>Can't remember any real issues with my daughters as they were growing. remember receiving the occassional compliment about their good behavior. Every once in a while we'll get the call from one of Michele's middle school teachers who is on the brink of an ulcer. </p><p>Michele is a great student, she has always taken advanced/enrichment classes, always does her work,&nbsp;and gets nothing less than a B but she's &quot;happy go lucky&quot; and sometimes a little &quot;chatterbox&quot;, and occassionally defiant if she feels she is in the right or has been treated unfairly. But she listens to reason and admits her faults and i've noticed on&nbsp;some occassions a teacher does not seemed to be prepared or trained to deal with different students with different personalities. Some take themselves down to the level of the child.</p><p>We never had any issues with Kristin in school, she has also always&nbsp;taken enrichment classes and always makes the honor roll and never a problem with her behavior but that's how kids are, they're not all the same and have their own personality.</p>

<p>my point is you are witnessing one incident and judging the parenting skills on that.&nbsp; The mother may be calm in public, but give her kid a tongue lashing as soon as they get into the car.&nbsp; All kids misbehave at one time or another, I don't care how strict a parent you are, they aare still kids...relax.&nbsp; </p><p>Try smiling the next time you hear a baby cry in a restaurant, instead of getting all worked up&nbsp;about how annoying it is.&nbsp; Or if a kid cuts in front of you in a store, give him a&nbsp;&quot;Careful,&nbsp;'lil fella&quot; instead of&nbsp;seeething over it.&nbsp;</p>
