Parents, control your damned kids. It is your fault?

Question

Every time I take my sweet little 18 month old to a playground, inevitably there is some little brat kid who acts up. The mother (usually fat as a cow) is either nowhere to be found or chatting away with another chain-smoking heffer. The little brat will shove other kids, and pull things out of their hands. I lose my mind because THIS IS WHERE THE BULLYING STARTS. God help you if I am at that playground because I YELL at your little animals. If you don't discipline them I WILL. Watch your damned kids. For the rest of you good parents out there, do the same. Take back this damned country.

I hope the good parents and people here read some of these responses and realize the idiocy that is here in this country. 95% agreement with me and 5% who don't and are part of the problem. Standing up for what is right is never bullying. Sometimes you have to be angry, use tough words even to do what is right in this World. I do say things to the stupid lazy parents. The response is usually anger, laughter or a half-assed attempt at discipline. I see the sick state of affairs our country is in. Then I see awful parents with awful kids who will make it worse. This country is in a tailspin, and it better get turned around quickly.

Also, I have no problem with fat people. The idiots in my scenarios are usually fat people, what can I tell you? They are also usually gross, ugly hags too. Does that offend any gross, ugly hags out there?

Answer 1

Love It!!! Great question!

I totally agree with you. My 2 yr old son is very well-mannered and polite in public. He is not used to being around other kids, but when he gets a chance he is always on his best behavior. People always tell me how well behaved his is, and how do I do it.

He is a bit advanced for his age, he potty broke himself, and has a keen sense of respect. He has to, bad behavior is not tolerated at my house. I do not beat him, but I was raised a certain way and he is being raised the same. No means no... end of question. I have never catered to him, I never participated in baby talk...why? I am raising a person, not a pet. If I do not speak to him like a rocket scientist how can I expect him to be one!

Mommy and Daddy make the rules, parents today forget that.

My son has a rare genetic disorder, he cannot spend a lot of time outside, because he cannot sweat. He has very fine hair, no teeth, and sometimes his eczema flares up so bad, he looks sick.

I have had parents actually pull their children away because they fear he has some contagious disease. I cannot stand the little monsters I see ridiculing him or just being down right mean, and yes the parents ARE to blame. I have even heard older kids call my toddler a freak.

I don't know any parent that wouldn't just boil over, if they were in that position. If I could I would give those kids a what for. But, I simply take him by the hand and tell him let's find another park, then as he walks off I look at the parents and say, "I'm afraid this ugly bad behavior may be contagious... but I guess it must be hard to raising the next generation of felons.

My son knows right from wrong, it wasn't that hard to teach, some parents are too lazy or too stupid to pass on that lesson.

And we wonder why kids are flunking out of school, doing drugs, shooting eachother.... this didn't happen when I was growing up!

If your dog is not socialized it stays at home, so should your children!

Answer 2

Well said! I was recently in a Beauty shop and there were these two little boys probably around 8 or 9, that were waiting for their Father to finish getting his hair cut, and the boys were playing around, and noticed a fan. One of the little boys kept staring the fan and so he puts his finger up and contemplated if he wants to put his finger in there or not. So I saw him touch the outside and then I saw him try to put his finger in once, but he didn't quite go all the way, then as he was about to do it again. I kind said to him with a little force behind my voice, "Don't put your finger in there". the little boy just kinda looked at me and I then explained to him you can hurt yourself very bad, maybe even chop off your finger. The Father never even paid attention to what the boys were doing. So I agree with you that sometimes discipline has to come from an outside source if it is not enforced from the family. This is the way it was when I was growing up, if a neighbor saw you doing something you were'nt suppose to, you got into trouble with them and then they would take you to your parents, and you would then be in double trouble. I think if people were more like this now, the kids might not turn out to become Bullies and such.

Answer 3

Yeah totally!!

And to all the people responding by saying that disciplining kids by hitting is bad, well, the parents need to *control* the children somehow. I'm not saying that physical discipline is the best way, but the parents need to do something, not just sit there and let their child go ape nuts at the playground or anywhere else!

Answer 4

Hey! Don't pick on the fat people! Just because we're fat doesn't mean we don't have manners or don't teach our kids manners!

That being said, you are totally correct! It's funny that you should write this today because we just went through it on Friday. My well-mannered almost 3-year-old won't say anything usually. He'll just step back and wait. My father wouldn't put up with it, either. I didn't step in until some ten-year-old out of control boy wouldn't let my son go down a slide. Dad was busy looking at his camera. I went over and said something. He moved, surprised, but quietly. Why parents can't do that, I don't get it. As a teacher, I said to my dad that I bet that kid gets in trouble a lot in school.

Answer 5

I have found that the majority of people in this country are fat, apathetic, self-concerned, idiots. It would really benefit everyone if the folowed the
11 Satanic Laws Of the Earth:

1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.

2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.

3. When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.

4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.

5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.

6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.

7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.

8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.

9. Do not harm little children.

10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.

11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

Answer 6

Finally someone is speaking the truth!

I do not have kids but I babysit a 4, 6 and 8 yr old and I know what you mean. Those kids have absolutly no structure and discipline and I hate when they come after the bunch I have. And like you said the moms are never paying attention and then look at you when you tell them to stop yourself and stand up for your kid. Kids now a days are getting out of hand!

Too many douchebags having kids with no family/fathers around and not taking care of them, just having them and dealing with them and passing them off to everyone else. Then usuing our tax dollars to pay for their heffer asses to get on welfare!

Answer 7

I've been wondering this myself lately. My husband and I took our 2 1/2 year old and 15 month old sons to the local park Sunday night to play for a while after dinner. The children there looked to be (most of them) between 3 and 6. They would run around and practically plow down my little 15 month old. My 2 1/2 year old would be playing on one of the jungle gyms, minding his own business, maybe checking out the slide to make sure it wasn't too *scary* to go down, and here comes these two or three little brat children--maybe 5 years old--and (seriously) d@mn near knock him off the play structure. Didn't say excuse me, pardon me, move it kid, kiss my @ss or nothing. Just shoved him aside like a rag doll. Meanwhile, he's being very polite (at 2 1/2!!) and saying "excuse me" (even though it sounds Italian to me--comes out sounding like "scusi", but we know what he means, and he's using the word in the correct context) to every child he encounters.

I didn't see ONE OTHER PARENT actually on the playground supervising their child. Most of them were sitting on the benches around the edge, COMPLETELY oblivious of what their child was doing. Obviously you don't have to follow a 5 year old around and hold their hand--but come on! They weren't even looking in the general direction of their kids. It REALLY pissed me off.

Why aren't parents teaching their children manners anymore?

Answer 8

Kids are kids. All you people supporting the original poster are pathetic. Kids are not miniature versions of adults, and they're often going to behave in ways that we, as adults, consider inappropriate for adults to behave. But don't take your anger out on the kids its not their fault.

And there is going to be some degree of bullying growing up. Generally its not a huge deal when kids are young and theres little you can do about it. You can't shield your kids forever from the realities of the world and from reading many of the responses on her condemning other kids, I can tell those people are going to have kids with a messed up childhood.

Answer 9

It's not just this country. This sort of "free-will" parenting has taken over the world. I totally understand your frustration. While I do not yet have children of my own, I can barely have any fun when I take my nephew out to play amongst other kids his age (he's 2) because there are other rude little brats out there snatching his toys and pushing each other. Some are even so bold that they hit each other. I have to take these people's rude children and explain to them why it is not appropriate to hit other people...Some of these bad kids have even hit me and then the parent wants to blame me because their child hit me...that is not not right. This is proof that discipline starts in the home and nowhere else.

Answer 10

Here, here!! Now just make sure you are still watching your damn kid when it's trying to run around a restaurant taking food off my plate, or running through the grocery store. Don't leave it to play in the toy department while you shop and remember your sweet little 18 mo old may turn into a little brat, so don't get mad when I yell at it!
