It's about time that someone finally has put their foot down about this kind of shit. Parents just DO NOT control their kids anymore, I see this at the sports bar and grille I tend bar in on the weekend. And because kids eat free, these families bring in their "herd" but do not keep a leash on them. I see the same thing on airplanes too esp in coach and you wonder why I use my frequent flyer miles to upgrade. And to top it off was two weeks ago I was on a boat tour in Seattle and these rugrats kept climbing all over the bow where we were sitting and I had enough and told one of the kids to knock it off. And then when we were getting off, the father had the balls to get in my face about it. I told him to keep a leash on his kid, and I told him to get out of my face before something bad happens.

If people don't want the responsibility of dealing with their rugrats then stop fucking without any protection. Just because they have rugrats doesn't mean we have to deal with them cause the parents are too fucking lazy to control them. If I did some of the shit I've seen when I was a kid, my mom would have slapped the shit out of me.

Like I said before if two people want to have or concieve children they should be pyshcologically evaluated before they do the deed.
As for kids my brother has a good handle on his children. Before they go into a public place he lays down a severe warning, "you act out of line it's time to go home." and surprisingly it still works.

 

[Ace Bandage]

Good to see that you handled the situation like a mature adult. His children might have been unruly, but at least you were able to show your own immaturity by threatening him with physical violence.

Well done.

 

[Facetious]

What do you expect of parents these days? the government along with their child protective services satellite have promised to prosecute unruly disciplinary parents, of course parents cow, is your kid worth going to jail for? ;p

As a parent I see both sides of this. I've seen many parents not giving a shit and me getting pissed as I've taught my children better. Which of course leads my children to say 'but they can do it' crap and I am forced to explain that climbing on something that has a sign clearly stating it's not to be climbed on would be wrong and just because others do it doesn't make it right.


Stereo typing them all as bad wouldn't do any good and will only make things worse.

 

[Legzman]

parents don't control their kids these days because parents don't beat the kids. I'm not talking like child abuse type beatings. But EVERY child deserves a good spanking now and then. It works. If a kid knows he gonna be spanked when he does something wrong, acts, up, what have you, then eventually they'll learn to change their behavior. If not they get spanked all the time!

I see plenty of this shit all the time, I have plenty of good examples from all the jobs I've worked. At the library I currently work at as one of my jobs, this happens all the time. I'll be shelving picture books, there'll be like 3 families there (most of the time a mom and her couple kids, sometimes the dad too), and the parents will either just sit down and start talking amongst themselves or tell the kids to "stay in this section, I'm just going to look for something for myself". Soon enough, the kids are running around screaming, playing tag, pulling books off shelves, etc., and the parents are either not around to give a fuck or just sitting there talking to other parents and not giving a fuck. And guess who has to clean all this shit up in addition to dodging flying obstacles when the kids decide to build forts and use puzzle pieces as artillery?

At the gym I used to work at, even though they weren't allowed, parents would bring kids in and the kids would have McNuggets or soda from the McDonald's down the street, and commence to running up and down the gym "trying to be like Mommy and Daddy" on their treadmills, screaming and spilling stuff everywhere.

I could name so much more, but as far as I'm concerned, this is enough. I would love to pull a Brian Griffin* when that happens again, but I would like to keep getting paid minimum wage as opposed to none at all.

It's not just the screaming. I've seen mothers do nothing while their kids throw stones at old grannies walking in the park.
Society is going to hell in a handcart. There should be a breeding license.

Those brats hit everybody whether they are old or young, scream in supermarkets when their parents don't buy something they want, spit everywhere and even swear.

What do their parents do? Nothing! Because they want to raise the brats in a free medium with no borders, no rules, no control. I really hate that self-centered worlds of them.

Being a parent can't be that easy.

Not becuase they want to raise the brat in a free medium. Because they aren't worried about decency, only being caught out.

[Vlad The Impaler]

It's exactly like Face said. The G has infiltrated the family, and they did it with ease, because my generation and the one after were too fuckin lazy, stupid and self-absorbed to be bothered with raising their own children.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

How can children be taught how to grow up when some parents still are/were growing up when they had them?

What I hate the most is when a child is running around in a restaurant. Sit down, keep quiet, and eat your meal and wait until your family leaves to get up. Unless of course you need to go to the restroom.

How is it that parents of infants are completely oblivious to the flight thing.

Get some dramamine / cough medication and knock that fucking kid out already

Yeah, cause I'm definitely going to drug my kid just so you can have a quiet plane ride. Go fuck yourself.

take a bus then.
Getting on an hour and a half flight to see a mother sitting her infant down and being completely 'taken by surprise' that the kid is going to wail like a broken fire alarm for the duration of the trip.

Selish, much? Because I'm sure its only me that has a problem with that

Feed or drug the baby so it goes night-night if you have to impose your 18 month old terror bomb

 

[ragincaucasian]

Not much different than kids that throw tantrums in stores, crying and carrying on, and parents do nothing to shut the up.

Parenting is about LEADERSHIP....not being a buddy, not being a dictator, not being domineering, but providing responsible direction

 

[garyclone]

I don't know why more places don't just put signs up about no screaming children just as a marketing device. You have the places advertised all the time as children friendly. Well there should be places advertised where you can go in public and not have to deal with other people's children. I can't even go to a seedy bar now without seeing someone with the family there. Probably showing their kids were they were concieved, but really that was the dark alley out back.
