re: Lost it on some kids a restaurant last night and I feel terrible about it this AM

At this point I’d probably had about 5 beers and I just lost it. Screaming at these kids to have some respect for other people at the restaurant and to go sit with their parents.

Everyone deserves that "drunk dad" experience. Happy Father's Day.

Don’t touch kids pervert

If I was their parents, you would’ve caught hell from me. I understand where you’re coming from, but those kids aren’t yours and you have 0 right to be a dick. Especially since they were so young. Yes the parents should’ve handled it, but if it bothers you that much, just finish your drink and go somewhere else...

frick. That. bullshite.

If you want somewhere to be your kid’s playpen, take them to a park. Or a playground.

Good majority of the problem with kids today is this entitled attitude you’re exhibiting that someone else shouldn’t say shite to your kids acting out of line. If you don’t want someone else addressing your kid’s shitty behavior, do better.

5 beers at a restaurant?

Alcoholic

day shift over at the call enter chris?

kids suck but you really gotta lighten up dude

Anecdotal story of my own. Packed Movie theater roughly 5 years ago. Two kids ages 11 and 9 probably with their parents sitting in front of me and my family. Kids are being loud, throwing popcorn and disrupting the entire area. I tap the dad on the shoulder and ask him if he could please tell his kids to be quiet. He gives me the new age response of they’re just kids having fun. I said well your kids fun is disrupting my family’s ability to watch the movie. He then proceeds to give me a childish psssshh and eye role. I said your decision buddy I hope you enjoyed wasting $50 bucks. I get management and had them thrown out. Other people in the area backed up my claim. I then tell my kids actions have consequences regardless of your age.

If you were OP, you would have kicked those kids asses

You yell at my kids, I whip your arse. Pretty simple. If you have a problem with them, come to me and we'll settle it like adults.

if you were an adult the kids wouldn’t be disturbing everyone else.

I understand your frustration. Just wait till you have kids of your own. You only think you lost it last night.

But yelling is out of line. I don't give a frick who you are or what the situation is, when you yell at anybody from a kid to an elder, your communication is lost. Why? Because nobody likes being yelled at.

Contrary to popular belief, raising the volume and intensity does not drive the point that much further. I don't know what you define as "yelling", but if your definition is in line with mine, that's uncalled for.

And frick anybody who says they would yell at the parents. They must really want to scrap like teenagers. Because if any stranger started yelling at me, you're not going to get the response you wanted (at the very least). If anything, I'd go out of my way to make sure you were miserable and wanted to leave. Because yelling at a stranger in public is an incredibly dick thing to do. And you're about to piss somebody off and/or possibly start a fist fight, rather than being firm on your position.
