re: What are your thoughts on parents who let their toddler scream in public?

It's the lack of effort that annoys the shite out of me. I understand that parenting young children will wear you down at times, but the parents who won't even address the screaming child at all are just being lazy. Even the parents who try to calmly reason with their screaming child, as futile as it might seem to everyone around them, is making an effort. That's where I draw the line between empathy for the parent and hating their guts.

So.. My kid is always disciplined in some form, whether time out or a light pop, for temper tantrums at home. But I think you're obviously out of touch if you believe I should be whipping my barely two year old (as in he was one last week) so much that he fears me in public. Furthermore, he doesn't throw all out ten minute long tantrums like the one I believe the OP referred to. It's check out line fussing lately bc he can't have every bright thing they so nicely have displayed there.
But this is some fantastic arm chair quarterbacking. I'm sure half the posters commenting don't even have kids. Toddlers (1-3) are very different than kids who are fully verbal and understand reasoning more. A 1-2 year old is not developed to a point of reasoning.
And if you dislike that I won't beat my kid to make him fear me then I don't care. I'm sure the same people bitching would also have something to say if I were whipping his arse in public.

True.
And if you are under the assumption that whipping a 2 year old is going to STOP the crying, then you are very mistaken. Things will go to shite even faster.

All's I can say is...
I fricking dare you.... fricking DARE YOU... to say one fricking condescending smart arse word to me about my toddler screaming in the hotel lobby after we've been in a car for 5 hours driving or in an airplane all day and I'm starving, hauling half our belongings around, and am headed for a super fun week with the in-laws.
I. fricking. Dare. You.
You can wait for me to check in and leave while listening to my child, or you can simply step outside until I'm gone.
Trust me, your situation is much more in your control than mine is as you obviously do not comprehend from your lack of empathy.

You don't know that. I'm pretty douchey.

This is one of those threads that should be locked to everyone that has never had kids.

Solid troll job bro. NOONE FORCED YOU TO HAVE KIDS AND DRIVE SAID KIDS 5 HOURS!

My kids are in 11th grade,9th grade and 7th grade. None ever melted down in public when they were kids. We have this sort of "no melt downs allowed" ethic. They don't even argue on vacation. Which is anti-Karma, b/c my brother and I were insufferable little shits.

No one is forcing you to stay in the lobby or restaurant and listen to my kid scream. Pussification of America no one can handle a toddler's temper tantrum "oh no that kid is ruining grocery shopping experience by screaming"

The perpetually annoyed are as bad as the perpetually offended.
Nobody cares about you or your feelings. Life is much easier when you start understanding this.

And I'd rather hear a toddler fuss than some douchebag 24yrd old on his phone "Bro, it was EPIC!" for 10min.
And - you single, childless people need to understand. We families spend $ and are more important to businesses than you are. You think that grocery store gets by on your $35 basket of Blue Moon and Chia seeds? No, they get by on my $250 basket supporting multiple kids.

You made the choice to have them now it's your responsibility to make sure they are quiet in public settings.
At the library or the movies, yes.
At the grocery store? GFY.
You'll get over it. I promise.
As long as the parent(s) is/are TRYING to calm the child, what else can you do? Chain them up somewhere?

A FB friend decided to let her 5 yr old pick the movie on the last day of school as a present for finishing Kindergarten. He picked Avengers: Age of Ultron. She posted this whole diatribe on how the kid freaked out about 15 mins in when apparently during a dream sequence all of his heroes get beat up. He's crying and she's attempting to calm him down. Well she writes that some "sad, lonely, loser guy" turns around and tells her to GTFO with her kid. She goes off about how he's the a-hole and she went to the manager and got free tickets, but she doesn't know if they'll ever go back to that theater. WTF?!! Of course she had other retarded mom's agreeing with her.
She was in the wrong! It's her job to control her kid and not disturb other people. If you can't do that, remove them from the situation. No one thinks you're special snowflake is cute when their acting like devil spawn.

A thread asking for single people's view of something should be locked to single people. 
Brilliant!

There's not much you can do, especially since most are itching to turn anyone in to DHR. When my daughter was a toddler and she acted out in public my wife of I would take her to the car or something.
I was acting up in the mall as a young child, my mom finally got tired of warning and swatted my backside a good time or 3 (or 8). A woman was passing by and threatened to turn her in to Social Services, my mother glared at here then dared her to do it. My mother wasn't worried, she worked for Social Services

Parents who let there kids scream in public should be taken out and shot.

I'm taking my one year old to see Entourage tomorrow. Whatever he needs to learn, Ari Gold can teach him. For dinner, we will be having tiramisu ice cream and coke. We ran out of diapers and diaper rash cream yesterday. I'll get some after the movie.
