would you let your child yell at another parent?

Question

spoke to a parent yesterday over her child age 13 her child shouted at me swore and kicked the wall i think this is bad behavior childs mother said she was expressing her self ??
I think bad behavior do you agree

Answer 1

parents like that make me sick. they should be encouraging manners and to show adults and strangers respect.

that child could kill some one and the mum would say "she was expressing herself".

Answer 2

That is bad behaviour and the mother needs to get a grip. What will Mummy say to the police when they bring her home for about the twentieth time whilst she was busy expressing herself - if my four year old gets mouthy with any adult, even if that adult is a complete **** I pull them up - and I mean I make sure they know that you don't raise your voice or shout at an adult - if its another child, well kids are kids and do get into tantrums with one another and usually if it is both of them going at it they both get the same lecture - but these are kids not 13 year old gobbos.

I just couldn't let any thirteen year old who is in my company, eg niece, nephew, son's friend, etc speak to an adult like that - if there is a major problem with the said adult then I would take over and tell the teen to shut up and go away for a bit whilst I sorted it out.

Didn't the urge to get her in a chokehold, threaten her, before turning to the Mum and saying "sorry - must stop this self expressing" overcome you......(Sorry - I am only joking - ) not...

Answer 3

lol i see you are dealing with one of those "my baby" mothers. yes that is bad behavior and as long as mom is making excuses for her she is going to keep it up. ppl raise there children thinking that they can do or say what ever they feel without consequences and that they should be treated special and have special considerations made for them and then wonder why "my baby" cant hold down a job or manage to stay in a relationship. there is nothing that you can do except refuse to have the child at your house but know you are right. had i done that at any point that i still lived at home i would have been apologizing and been severely punished. heck if i did that now ,which i would never do because my mom taught me a little thing called respect, she would tell me i was acting very immature and she couldn't believe i did that lol I'm 24 and a mother and my 2 year old doesn't get away with that crap

Answer 4

I think you are right it is bad behavior at any age. A parent is the last person I would tell if I thought their child's behavior was bad. The parent usually just ends up mad at you. On the other hand my Mother used to say, " If you want someone to like you compliment their child."

Answer 5

Of course not. This child should "express herself" in the privacy of a room with no windows. The parent is an enabler, and the self-expression will only get worse. Unfortunate for the parent, and even worse for the child.
The next time you talk to the mother about her child, be sure it is in private. Let the mother deal with the child, also in private.

Answer 6

Terrible behavior.

The excuse given for this kind of behavior is even worse. As a child, and as an adult - I learned to respect others and elders.

Treat others the way you would like to be treated in short.

With that being said: I would not associate myself with these people anymore personally.

I have better things to do with my time, other than being yelled at by some 13yr old kid with no manners and have it be justified.

Answer 7

Absolutely.... that behavior is absolutely unacceptable. There are ways for a child to express their feelings without violence and/or anger!
The fact that the mother would even allow behavior like that in front of anyone but her is unbelievable. I'd never allow my child to "express himself" in such a manner! I'd be soooo embarrassed!
Ugh... she'll have A LOT of behavioral problems with her when she gets a bit older!

Answer 8

Would the child's mother feel the same if you were "expressing yourself' by yelling at her child and kicking in her walls?

Of course this is bad behavior. You should have nipped it in the bud immediately.

Answer 9

Personally, I would have "expressed" myself right back. Sadly, a lot of parents think this behavior is acceptable and then are shocked when little Johnny or Susie gets kicked out of school or winds up dealing with the police. It is always someone else's fault or problem.

Answer 10

in case you were not a sturdy be certain you does not be frightened approximately despite in case you're doing the wonderful factor or not. i think of spanking as a type of self-discipline has fallen out of prefer with the parenting specialists. From a private attitude there are cases I keep in mind being spanked as a newborn and that i would be damned if i did not deserve it. Left with the lingering question of despite if or not different techniques could have been as valuable notwithstanding. Being an overprotective be certain isn't doing all your newborn the main important prefer the two so i might say do despite you're soft with. there is not any proper or incorrect thank you to be certain and in case you supply love (in despite type) that youngster could have a super benefit over many different young little ones regrettably.

Answer 11

Expressing herself?! LMAO! I can't believe anyone could say that with a straight face.

If you came across my child, rest assured that would never happen. Unless she had lost her mind. In which case, you can bet you'd witness me expressing MYSELF.

I don't know how you lose control over your children to the extent that they have no fear or concerns over speaking in a disrespectful way to an adult, swearing, or being physically violent. A thirteen year old throwing a tantrum? I can't even imagine it. I agree with you, that's extremely bad behavior, and should not be tolerated in any form or fashion.
