Do mommies annoy you? I HATE them!?

Question

I'm venting here, but I want you to reply with your own take on annoying yuppie moms.
I'm so fed up with women who assume they are the greatest thing ever for having kids. Having kids actually makes more normal than before because most everybody has them! These people, mostly women, take their little lambs to the movies or a restaraunt and let them make all the noise they want because it's them "expressing themselves" while everyone else has to deal with it. They know you're looking and staring and they sit there doing nothing waiting for you to turn around and say to them to "quiet your kid". They can't f-ing wait to get an opportunity to inform you on how you should "never tell us how to raise OUR children! How dare you!" They spend way too much money on Baby Einstien crap or whatever else that is so their children's mind can "expand and wonder". They go to baby work-out classes, teach their 1 year old sign language (the kid can hear), and assume every adult will accomodate them!

All this ****'s going on while millions of other children STARVE TO DEATH!

Thankyou CB and sweetblon... for proving my point! But, CB, read the first 2 sentences again! I'm not talking about ALL parents, I'm talking about SOME that I know personally. The kids are not the problem because they don't know any better. Parents love teaching them things at the wrong time like right in front of me when I'm trying to get out of an elevator. And I plan on adopting later (I'm 18, but that is too young). I didn't mean to say EVERY parent is like this. This just seems to be the popular, trendy way of raising kids. It will pass. And just to let you know: I never yell at the children or their parents. If you take a child to a place that is intended for adults and your squirt cries, screams, and yells the WHOLE time, don't be so damn surprised when people get pissed. I don't go to coffee places, never needed therapy, and I love Guns N' Roses. The things one of you decided I do (like the coffee place) are what the yuppies do! You guys are fun!

Oh ****! I forgot! The whole sign language thing is fine if it is used. The point I was trying to make is that parents (mostly women) obsess over things that "expand their mind" while other babies die on the streets. One kids gets to learn sign language, have a **** load of books while the other only lives till 2 and spends all of it in a shed next to their mother's dead body. Do you get it now?

Answer 1

You'll eat your words one of these days...

Answer 2

First, I want to address the comment that someone else made saying that "the fact that children annoy you, you have serious problems that need to be addressed in therapy." This person obviously has some issues of their own. I have a daughter who is almost 2 and another child on the way. I love my children and I like a lot of other children, but there are people I know whose children annoy me and I rather not have them around my child. That doesn't mean I need therapy just because I find other kids annoying. If they were more well behaved, I wouldn't find them so annoying...

I pretty much agree with everything you've said. Granted, I take my daughter to restaurants all the time, but she is very well behaved when we go out. If she's not, she gets spanked. She's never gotten to the point where I had to take her out of the restaurant because she was misbehaving so badly. She's disciplined well enough that things don't reach that point.

I have taken her to the movies once and it was a children's movie. That is the only reason we took her. After the movie, the woman next to us commented on how well behaved she was as she didn't make a peep during the entire movie. I'm ok with parents bringing little kids to movies as long as it's a kids movie. I can't stand when I go see something rated PG or higher and people walk in with their children.

As for the Baby Einstein comment, yes, a lot of parents do spend way too much on "toys" for their kids. It's all so unnecessary. And baby work-out classes are just way to upscale for me. I'm perfectly content working out at home with my daughter.

The sign language thing is the only thing I don't have an issue with. If a parent has the patience to teach their child sign language, more power to them. I have a friend whose parents are both deaf. It would have been great if I knew sign language so we didn't have to communicate through my friend.

Anyway, my biggest issue is that a lot of parents today do not discipline their children. They let them run wild and do whatever they want. And they give in to them way too easily when they are misbehaving. There is nothing wrong with a spank every now and then either!

Answer 3

I don't think that having children should advertised everywhere, but you were once a child and you made noises you are only human, how would you feel if someone said the same thing to you what you are now saying to us? What about drunk people? They are loud and obnoxious, and do you get upset when they are loud, or saying oh they are just having a great time. Just because people have children doesn't mean they have to stay inside once they do to make sure all the people without children won't get mad. These resturants are family friendly, it's in their title and credo, if they didn't except families they all of them would be broke. That's why places have crayons, it's because they except children. I do believe that when a child is too loud then the parent should shuss them. not every parent buys expensive things, they see what is on t.v. What do you think the lollipops at the banks are for? For children, duh. You should never tell a person to quiet their child, they should already know that for themselves. If you can't handle it, go to a resturant where they don't serve families. There will always be children. Maybe when you have one, and someone will shuss you, you'll see how horrible it hurts.

Answer 4

There are plenty of inner city children that need to be adopted. Children go hungry every night because people just sit and complain about it instead of acting. I am a mother of three and it is the greatest gift in life. Once you have a human being growing inside of you, you change. It is a true miracle to give birth. I cried each time I gave birth. To see those beautiful babies and be truly in love with someone you just met is the most amazing experience in life.
On another note, the fact that children annoy you, you have serious problems that need to be addressed in therapy. A child is a human being and you were once one. Would you tell an adult to shut up in public? Probably not because you know they would hit you. Show some respect for others. By your attitude Im assuming you were not raised in a loving home and probably never knew unconditional love. I am sorry that you werent nurtured, but get therapy for whatever abuse you suffered and leave innocent children alone.

Answer 5

I'm with you. I don't assume your mother is the greatest thing ever.....after all, she had you. Grow up a little, why don't you? You're complaining about CHILDREN "expressing themselves" and you feel the need to come on and ***** about it to complete strangers. Any mother worth anything doesn't let her children behave like brats. I have a 6 year old and a 6 month old, by the way. If you were in a restaurant while we were there, you'd probably not even realize that they were there. I like for my children to behave, period. If they act up, we leave. Or, we make sure if we go anywhere that children are welcome. I agree with you on the fact that some mothers feel the need to let their kids run wild, but you may want to find a better way to say it. More people might take you seriously instead of just seeing you as a *****.

Answer 6

Goodness, sounds like you are having a bad day. Parents are just trying to do what they think is best for their families, don't take it personal. Perhaps you can request a secluded area away from families the next time you go out to eat or pick movies that children are not watching - perhaps the late night showing. You are absolutley right that parents don't want folks telling them how their kids should behave. They are spending more money in the restraunts, movies and everywhere else just by taking the family out.
It's okay to vent but remember that someday - God willing - you may just find yourself responsible for children.

Answer 7

A lot of the clothes I have, the pants have compatibility flawlessly, and the tops are too massive, however by the point she grows into the tops, the waist band at the pants are too tight. And it isn't like my daughters fats, she's within the fiftieth percentile, so correct within the core. And the socks, they are both too massive, and falling off, do not have compatibility the ankles, and cut back, even if dried on low! I have a bit of woman and most likely love crimson, however I have such a lot, that in recent years I've been getting a bit of beaten through it. I've been doing plenty of brown/crimson blend's, and they have been popping out with plenty of stuff in a rather lovely blue, it is like aqua close to, I like it!! Also, I trust the buttons, and snaps at the again of onsie's is a gigantic agony. I purchase plenty at Childrens Place, the garments are lovable, however I consider the whole lot I've gotten from there has the buttons at the again, and such a lot of them are not wanted!

Answer 8

IT'S LIKE YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH!!!!!!!! There is a BIG difference between a Mom and a Mommy! I agree with you on the part about letting your child not run screaming through the restaurant and stores! I have had lots of strangers come up and compliment me on how well behaved my kids are (I have 5, 8 months-9 years old) and let me tell you it's because I TEACH MY KIDS MANNERS! and they know they will get their @ss beat if they don't use them EVERY time we go anywhere! I think more Mommies need to learn that!!!!

Answer 9

WOW!!!! You are hilarious!!!! Calm down and get some perspective please... WOW!! You have major issues and OBVIOUSLY no children because if you had carried a child for 9 months and then went through the labor, you would NEVER claim that having kids makes you "more normal"... and what is normal anyway? You? I don't think so!

EDIT: I DID read your question and that did not help with your point... Yes, yuppy mommies, I get it and I am not one, but I don't feel that you have any right to judge ANY mommy when you are not one yourself...it IS a LOT harder than it looks. Those mommies you are talking about really may be trying to discipline their kids.

Answer 10

What kind of "mommie" did you have??? If you don't like mommies and their children then don't @#%#ing look at them or listen to them. If someone looks at my child in a restaurant when they are crying, I would tell them if you don't want to listen to my child, then leave. We live in America and the 1st ammendment is freedom of speech, which also applies to our children. That is how they communicate. I really hope you never have children if you have this kind of attitude. And I am the greatest thing ever, because I have four beautiful children, and to be a mother you have to make sacrifices and be unselfish, which are two traits you obviously do not have. Why don't you worry about pornography, rape and murder, why do you have to pick on mommies and their children?? As far as teaching children sign language__there are alot of children that are deaf, and its nice for children to be able to communicate with other children who cannot hear. I guess you do not realize that you were a child once and you did all the same things you are complaining about, that is if you had a mommie that cared.

Answer 11

Wow! That's a lot to take in. I'm a mom of one. I think parents ARE amazing people because it takes a lot of work, but just like everyone else's life, things get hard. Some times you don't feel like addressing every little issue so you let things slide. And, at the same time, you do cram their brains with knowledge and confidence....your parents raised you to speak your mind for instance...just think of how you would have turned out if your parents were prunes and didn't take you to restaurants because YOU were too noisy or they didn't teach you how to count?

What I'm trying to say is everyone starts as a kid and it's crazy to blame the parents for doing their job.
