Other people's kids

[CrazyKell]

It seems to me that more and more people try and bring their kids everywhere. There are places children just aren't appropriate and it's annoying when they ruin my time because they're undisciplined.

I used to really love hanging out with my nieces and nephew. As they've gotten a bit older, and more and more unruly, they are hard to be around because they are so annoying.

Some think its cute when you go to a restaurant or something and theyre wandering to other tables and that sort of thing. I find it annoying more than anything.

Oh I would be quite vocal about that kind of situation.

It's not difficult to have well behaved children.

I want one... Trip, I'll take 1,000 of these as vinyl stickers, 8"x10" please. And I'm going to plaster them on the front window of EVERY public place I go to from this point forward.

Somehow it was my fault that her kid was crying. While shes ragging on me I just told her to eat a bag of dicks and walked away. typical LI soccer mom so i think she was trying to figure out my comment, plus they always back down when YOU become confrontational with them

See, I would have completely lost it. "You can't control YOUR kid and it's my fault? I'm fucking standing here minding my own business and your one-night stand mistake, who is completely out of control, runs into ME and that's MY fault? What fucking planet are you from??? ..................... Oh and PS, you can buy bags of dicks in isle 7... I suggest you eat ALL of them."

No need to go through all of that trouble. Just eat where kids can't go. Such as the Titty Club!!!

No kidding! I was having breakfast with my roommate at a bar and there was a family sitting next to us with their kids screaming joyfully and walking around and stuff.

Really? A bar??

Granted, the place opens up for breakfast and lunch and obviously admits families and what not... but I would think that it would be so much better to take your little ones to places that don't have tables all sticky with beer from the previous night... and patrons that are, most likely, nursing a hangover.... lol

How your child acts is a reflection of the parents. My sisters kids are great example of that. Its embarassing to go anywhere in public with them, they are either screaming, crawling on the floor at dinner, or into some form of mischief. Not uncommon for them to just walk up to people and kick them.

My son is no angel, but he will be polite and respectable to others. Structure plays a big role in raising a kid and seems alot of kids don't have that anymore.

I loathe seeing kids at bars. We went to a local sportsbar for UFC one night - there was one family by the bar [standing room only] with their kids in the thick of it. The little girl had her hands on her ears and was crying.

I made a point to tell her - "You're a great example of a bad mommy" She didn't like me, but they stayed. Unreal.

I have actually had a child walk up and kick me out of nowhere, in a Dr.'s office no less. Thankfully the mom was mortified and I refrained from smacking the strange child, but that memory reinforces why I dont care for most children.

Yes, call me a horrible hag, but I dont like about 95% of them. I agree they should be seen and not heard, except in certain circumstances and there is nothing guaranteed to drive me more insane than being somewhere with screaming, unruly children.

If I'm at the park, or a playground, I dont mind, but if Im in a restaurant or the grocery store I dont want your ankle biter running around my table, hollering for attention or crying loudly, running in front of my basket, or bouncing off of me or darting in front of me, and I definitely dont want to hear it from 3 aisles away! GO OUTSIDE ALREADY!

Whew. Fires me up. I admit it, I'm going to be a friggin Hitler as a parent, but you can be damned sure my child wont be annoying anyone other than me!

Ironically, I'm the person that children want to walk up to and be held by. I think its like cats. If you dont want to be around them, they force themselves on you...and of course the parents think its sooooo cute.

These are the same parents that lost their kid in the first place, it found me, and they were okay with letting a total stranger haul their kid around while they did their shopping. It's happened, in a mall of all places. And we wonder why children are the way they are...

Apply all this to dogs and you will see how the non pet owners look on people who want to force their pets on the rest of the world. Except one is a pet and the other is a human being.
