re: Parents who allow children to behave terribly

I've got 6 kids and when I see this crap,I simply look at them and their kids and look at mine kind of like if my 6 can sit hear quietly then so can your 2..get them under control..

I hate that crap!

The ones that drive me fricking crazy are the ones who let their kids run around in restaurants.

here is a school of thought that says to let kids do whatever they want to.

I detest it. I know of three couples who let this happen.

Screaming kids are wanting some type of attention so the parent sometimes ignores bad behavior instead of giving the kid the attention it wants.


I think they learn if they fall out on the floor screaming they will get your attention.

On the other hand they may learn to throw tantrums because the parent doesn't want to spank them publicly?


Screaming kids are just background noise( like car horns,etc) to me. I ignore them.

Take their little asses to the bathroom and handle business.

Mississippi law says you can spank your child.


What is even worse is when the parents call the police to discipline their children. I would tell them parenting is their job not mine. It is not my job to make your kids act right nor is my job to make them go to school. Most of the time the little brats never even looked up from their phones while Mom was wanting us to make them do something.

All of you saying kids are just kids are lying to yourselves and full of BS.

I was in a decent restaurant last month for lunch. Group of women were eating lunch. They were done, chatting, having coffee. Two small kids, boy and girl, maybe 5-8 years old, were running laps around the table. Ok. Then the boy (younger) picks up a knife and chases his sister around the table while holding it out in front of him with one hand and it was pointed directly at her. They both thought it was funny.

I finally said something to mother and she was of course horrified and grabbed them and made them sit down. But the idiot was totally oblivious to her son running around, much less charging around with a knife.

In my experience, a three year old doesn't understand why his arse is getting blistered half an hour after he was misbehaving.

It is like a hot stove. Little Johnny may not understand why he is getting his arse whipped, but he understands if he does A then B happens. You just have to be consistent in your parenting.

10, 9, 7, 5, 2, & 1.

2 girls, 2 boys and 2 girls..

They don't get blistered..
The 2 youngest aren't..if anything maybe the 2 year old but she would get a pop on the hand right then..I agree they wouldn't remember why if I waited for them..but the older ones do!

Did he stab her? Cause I didn't see that on the news. i think you're overreacting a good bit.

Went to lunch with a friend and his family at his country club. His kid was running around like it was his playroom, fooling with every cemterpiece on the table, etc. The guy just told the waiter to bill him for anything his kid breaks. Did pretty much nothing to correct his kid.

At least Navy parents keep their kids in check.
