View Full Version : Parents, Leave them kids at home!

Pretty wild story. So for those of you who despise people who bring their children into movies and make noise, maybe our woes are over? But it's getting kind of aggressive having grocery stores have "Kid Hours." Strange.

Effing breeders ... they think the world revolves around them or something.
[Tooth]
I'm in. Nothing against breeders. I would just like to sit down to a meal, in a restaurant, and not have to listen to ill mannered screaming kids. Same for theaters, airplanes and anywhere I happen to be standing. [Eek3]

I hate to sound like a cranky old man, but when I was a kid if I acted up in public it got me an unpleasant trip to the bathroom or parking lot.
The problem isn't the kids, its the fact that parents these days don't understand that if you strongly discipline your little crumb cruncher when he's 4 you don't have to bail him out of jail when he's 17 (or worse identify your little angel's body at the morgue once I shoot him for breaking into my house).
Also it kinda rubs me the wrong way that as a childless couple my wife and I are treated like second class citizens a little too often.

I feel ya Zund, and agree with you 100%. The shitty thing is that parents are not only frowned upon for a spanking etc, they get sued and its complete shiiite.

Let's keep kids out of society, don't teach them how to be an adult, and then give them full blown freedom at 18. Sounds like a plan to me.
Parents, discipline your children. This isn't that damn hard.

I definitely know what you mean Mtn. Man.
I have a 15 month old son that I won't let a peep come out of let alone a full blown tantrum in public. Most parents just don't give a damn.
Our son was never allowed to act up out in the public the way kids do now days. If he did he was punished on the spot! I cant stand screaming kids in theaters and restaurants. Find a baby sitter or learn to discipline the brat!
Parents want the gov/public schools to teach them.
There is a great documentary called Waiting For Superman. It's about the problems of inner city schools. Lots of great info. The main conclusion is that it is the teachers fault the kids don't learn, are disruptive and have no self control. [Roll1] Not the parents. Not society. The teachers.
I'm all for the village raising the child and pressuring the parents to do so.

Don't lump me in with "parents these days". My little one (3 yrs old) gets compliments everywhere we go on what a well behaved, polite little girl she is. She never acts up in public, and damn rarely at home. That did not happen by accident.
Now, for those of you who hate sitting next to kids on airplanes...well I feel you. I traveled for business for almost 20 years before we had our daughter. Millions of miles. I sat next to way more than my share of grumpy kids. I get it, now you get over it. Air travel is stressful on kids like nothing else I know, and even children of the best parents end up past their limits sometimes. There is simply no way of avoiding it short of not traveling, and if you think I'm not taking my daughter to see her grandparents just so you don't have to sit next to her, you're going to be disappointed. It's just one of life's little inconveniences.
Actually, if you sat next to my daughter on an airplane, she'd probably be making friends with you before we got off the ground. The little bugger is hard to resist.

Same.
I am constantly on mine about not throwing a tantrum. No means No, not Maybe if you cry... and we always say, Please, Thank you, we wait out turn and we dont run and scream inside.
Punishing all parents for the irresponsible ones is like all Gun owners are terrorists.
its a cop-out for the lazy.
I have a GREAT Idea.
Noisy Kids?
"Sir, Ma'am, you are disrupting other patrons here. If you cannot control your children, we are asking you to leave."

I agree, completely.
But if we could also extend this to drunk morons who can't hold their liquor, disrupt the ENTIRE establishment, and occasionally start fights, MAN, would going out be fantastic.

Is that all you got ? You must have been one of those 90s brats.
In my day, if we acted up in public, we got a good thump or slap up side the head ( dependent upon if it were Pa or Ma who was closest ) right where we stood or sat as the case may be.
That would straighten you right up, look how good I turned out !

to this day I can tell you, in vivid detail, what each of my parents fists feel like against my head.
Pretty sure my mother had a wooden spoon factory in the attic.. No one ever cared if I went to school with bruises.. 'did you learn your lesson' was all that was asked... My mother sent a letter to the principal of the school.. if I were to act up I should be paddled till I could no longer sit.. she did not have the time to pick me up from detention... we lived 20 miles from school.. many times I made that walk.
There was never a time I can recall throwing a tantrum in public.. if there is.. i'm sure there is a reason I don't remember it.. I was probably unconscious.
A few of our friends have children that truly impress with their manners. Sadly, for every one of those kids, there's a bakers dozen that have me cursing fertility clinics that help those that nature frowned upon have little monsters. Some of these medically-achieved wonder children were apparently so hard to conceive that the parents won't even consider discipline of any sort.

You guys sound like a bunch of ol libs! If you don't like kids go to "adult places" like the bar. Regulating peoples freedom of where they can take the family to dinner is like regulating where they can carry guns right? Pick my healthcare for me to while your at it would ya [Beer]
Telling a business owner they can't pick and choose who they do business with is a little left sided to me.

Just sayin, kids now a days have no maners what so ever!! My Niece, she has manners, and if she gets out of line, the parrents " my bro & sis in law" set her straight. WITH OUT contact of any kind!!! All verbal! Other family's yell, scream, etc and it gets them now where!!!!

Today I pulled off my belt a little too fast and it made that recognizable swoooosh when it was going through the loops. And I ain’t gonna lie, my butt hole puckered up cause I know what comes next!!!

I think they should change this so that children can not be present within 25 feet of any entrance. I hate when I go out, and my clothes come home smelling like children. At least I'll be able to fully enjoy myself from now on. Plus, all the employees will be more healthy with the reduced stress level and no premature balding due to pulling their hair out.

Thank you for this^. I travel for business too. I'm on a plane at least twice a week. And every time a 6 month old cries some ass hat starts cussing and mumbling "control your kid." What do you want the parent to do, spank the baby, slap it upside the head? Scold it strongly? News for that guy, babies don't know what any of that means. Air travel is hard on little kids. Much harder on them then it is on you so get some ear plugs and shut the hell up.
That being said, my daughter turns 2 next month and we don't tolerate any temper tantrums now that she understands. 99% on the time she is a quiet, well behaved, well mannered please and thank you type girl. But all kids have their bad days no matter how well disciplined. If she starts a fuss and we are in public, we leave. We go to the car or we go home. For two reasons...1) so others don't have to hear it and 2) because I believe discipline is a private matter.
Now, the 4, 5, 6 - 18 year olds being brats on a flight, movie theater or in public need some better parents.
But the worst are the 45 year olds that kick your seat on a flight, or talk on their phone in a movie... For every brat little kid I have seen 100 brat adults.

If the sound of a belt clearing loops in a hurry don't give you the chills, chances are you were "one of those kids".

Welcome to the United States of Pussification. You can't touch your kid. You can't talk to them in a elevated voice. You can't do this, make sure they wash their hands 300 times a day, they always have to have a helmet and full knee and elbow pads, no staying out after dark, keep your children on a leash... waaa waaa waa! What happened to talk back get popped in the mouth? Soon as my dad's hand touched his belt buckle we shut up, sat up straight, and stopped crying. And to this day I cannot name one time the belt actually came off. Why? Because the belt would have been a welcome change from the hand, but the hand was always faster than the belt. Too bad now you can't discipline your children. Hit them and they'll call social services. And teachers are too damn nosy also! They see a bruise and it's always "Sit down, now tell me, who hit you, your mother or your father?" Stay out of discipline and I'll stay out of teaching my kids about photosynthesis.
Come on you know the government always has our best interest in mind. They know better than we do how to raise kids, just look at America today. How the hell did I ever grow up. I should be dead with all the crap I did and my parents let me do. And spanking wholly shit my dad, neighbors dad, grandpa, and coaches should all be in jail.

My pop kept us inline with out a hand, belt, or raised voice...
cuz when your 4 and your dad tells you " your brother george did that once" and your reply is " but I don't have a brother george!" his retort "well not anymore" you tend to stop doing whatever it is your doing and get in line.
sure by the time we were 8 or 9 we realized there never was a george... but my pop ( 20 years air force ) always had a little evil gleam in his eye when he said it... kinda just scary enough to make ya wonder... .
Had a buddy of mine that spanked his kid in a box store once and some hairy-hippy-stick-their-nose-in-your-business type gave him a nasty look and (from what he said) was about to say something when he piped up with:
"Anything comes out of your mouth, you're next."
She scurried away, and to this day the image just makes me lmao.

I think parents with unruly kids who do nothing about it, should be spanked. I'll discipline the cute blonde mother.[ROFL1]

As a single father of 2 boys I am constantly amazed at the behavior of other children. My boys weren't allowed to act the way I see 10-12 year olds acting when they were 2!!! unreal to me how a parent can just let their child scream bloody murder and cry in public!!!
this kind of behavior has never been tolerated in my boys. I remember once my oldest trying that mess in the grocery store when he was about 3 because he couldn't have something. He was immediately removed, we went out to the car and had a talk (yes i rarely have to spank) and that was that. first and last time I was forced to remove one of them from a public place.
I honestly think a major part of the problem is that a large portion of children these days don't have a father around to take care of business and keep the kids in line.
That being said I have no intention of shopping somewhere that bans my lads. However I suppose at a higher end restaurant I could understand it. Hell half the time its my boys that comment on other children's behavior as they find it embarrassing. Good lads those 2 are.
