Do u hate when people bring their children in a public establishment and.....?

Question

let their kids run wild. I personally can't stand that when i was working at a health food grocery store and this lady let her children take things off the shelves,scream at the top of their lungs, and climb on things. If me or my other siblings had of done that at a public place we would have gotten spanked right there in the store and my mother wouldnt care who was looking.

Answer 1

yes, i do. i can't stand it when my kids misbehave let alone other ppl's. u know what the real problem is? ppl are afraid to discipline their kids for fear that some nosy dumbass that doesn't know what the hell is going on and obviously can't mind their own business is going to report them for child-abuse. i'm not saying beat ur kid til he's unconscious but come on. sometimes spanking's the only thing that gets the message through. believe me, i've tried time-outs, with-holding toys and what not as punishment and 5 min later, they're doing the same thing. lecturing hasn't helped either. keep in mind that these same bratty kids will grow up to be disrespectful teenagers who think that everyone should kiss their a**. when ppl wonder why kids are the way they are, they should look at the way parents aren't allowed to discipline their kids. the first thing they learn in preschool is to dial 911 whenever mommy spanks you. all this is fine and commendable for children who have real problems but unfortunately, children who's parents actually know the dif between discipline and abuse use this knowledge as a way to threaten them. even more unfortunately, parents usually back down because they'll get in a lot of trouble if the kid actually picks up the phone and calls.

Answer 2

Yes I do, mostly because I have six children. and I do not have that problem. My younger ones (7, 6, and 3) know that time-out can be manifested anywhere (even one time in Disney World). the Older ones (15, 13, amd 10) know better and try to teach the younger ones.

Actually what I find most challenging is how to help that situation. Usually I gently correct the child in front of the parent, sort of help them get control of the situation. I might say something like, "Hey honey, I think mommy/ daddy would be sad if you take that down. Why don't go stand next to mommy/ daddy so you don't get trouble? I think that will make them happy." Usually the parent smiles at me, and the situation is a little better.

God Bless,

Answer 3

That is the same with me. We wouldn't be allowed to run wild like that. But times have changed and some poeple feel that they can not "spank" their kids due to the fact that others might see it differently and report it to the cops. I totally understand what you are saying that kids should have some control when in public, but the parents have to teach the kids the rights and wrongs. And i feel that is not being done very much. So to answer your question, yes I do not like it when kids are running wild in any public place and the parents do nothing about it.

Hmmm,look at it from their point of view. They are probably kooked up in the house all day long,and going out in public,they want to let off some steam. Sure,they made a mess but the mother should have explained the rules of behavior and punishment BEFORE they went into the store.

Answer 5

oh absolutely makes the parents look like they don't know how to control their kids. We were out to eat a while back and their were grand parents a mom and her 2 year old daughter. The 2 year old wouldn't sit still was everywhere. It got so bad the mom couldn't even eat her meal had to take her daughter outside. It's sad if u think about it if peeps are scared of their kids at 2 what's going to happen when they r older.
we knew how to behave as the youngest I always heard the stories of what my siblings did so I learned what not to do.

Answer 6

A century or so ago, it was conventionally regarded uncivil to take a young child, especially a baby, into a public establishment. In fact, it was written as rule not to do so in many etiquette manuals. Even today, culturally depending, it still is regarded uncivil - at least by highbred society. I still get offended when a mother brings her child to movie theatre very late at night, particularly, to see a movie that is no where intended for the child.

Answer 7

I have children and my children know when we're out in public they stay right by me. Nothing irritates me more than people letting their children run wild- not only is it rude to the other people at the establishment, but it's also careless. When you aren't watching your children you might as well be handing them over to some whack job.

Answer 8

I know what you mean. One time while in a restaurant this couple walked in with their kids. The kids ran wild and had food strung all over the floor, tipped over chairs and were hollering and yelling. Where they sat looked like a pig sty when they left. The parents just sat there and didn't say a word. If my siblings and I would of tried that, my parents would of snatched us up and whipped our butts right then and there and like yours, they wouldn't of cared who was looking.

Answer 9

OMG YES i hate children as a general rule, but i work in a resturant and it's amazing how many people think that since im serving them food, that it means im also their babysitter. The let their children run screaming around, getting in the staff's way, stealing the candy, annoying EVERYONE. People need to learn that their kids aren't cute..they're dirty, smelly, annoying, ugly, bratty, whiny and loud.

Answer 10

Restaurants aren't public locations, and sure they must be approved to prohibit youngsters from their corporations. I'm a mum or dad and I love children, but if I get a few baby-unfastened time, I desire to revel in it. Nothing is extra traumatic than being in a restaurant, seeking to revel in my unfastened-time, and having to hear a cranky child! This is fairly all approximately normal courtesy. A mum or dad must realize that if their baby is throwing a tantrum or being loud and stressful different men and women, it is normal courtesy to take away your baby. The proven fact that eating places consider they ought to placed a ban in position, is reflective of the way impolite men and women in our society have come to be.
