As a parent of two kids, episodes like you faced over the weekend <i>really</i> piss me off.<br><br>First of all, I remember being around my mom whenever I left the house and let me tell you, I was a fucking angel, -because I was scared-to-death of the consequences of 'mis-behaving'. I also recall the same circumstances with all of the neighborhood kids. <i>We just didn't screw around (in the presence of any of our parents).</i> It was like each of the moms and dads had the "OK" to punish any of the kids in the neighborhood and then report it to the kid's parents, -which meant a second whooping. Damn.<br><br>Both of my kids had one fit. One. And they paid dearly for it. Once children realize 'the consequences', they will behave much better.<br><br>Ever since Dr. Spock's 1970's bullshit book on parenting, this hemisphere has gone to shit. It gave the parents an excuse for letting their child 'develop' in a very un-orderly manner. As my mom used to say, "you have no rights or freedom until you're eighteen AND living in your own home".<br><br>As for taking kids to movies at later hours, those parents are fucking idiots. We're reaching the second gen' of Dr. Spock's "invention" and he isn't the one who has to tolerate the repercussions. We do.<br><br>"Time-outs" don't work and if you're not willing to properly punish your kids, then don't fucking have any.<br><br>Good post.Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16859248015766533640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228209859252142987.post-51268476097017331452007-07-20T12:16:00.000-04:002007-07-20T12:16:00.000-04:00I am coming right up to Canada right now to kiss y...I am coming right up to Canada right now to kiss you. And I don't even swing that way miss.<br><br>I am so intolerant of little kids it's amazing. But I do realise that the fault is with parents who don't at least attempt to quash their over-enthusiasm. <br><br>I was in Florida in May and I was seated on the flight down, among a family of three adults and four kids under seven. Right in the middle. It was like the gates of hell swung open and ushered me in. The flight was full so I couldn't move anywhere. It was painful. Because, as you pointed out, little kids that age are naturally curious and boisterous and going on a PLANE on VACATION is just revving them up even more but when you're exhausted, have a blister from your new damn sandals, a headache and a caffeine withdrawal, four kids under seven shrieking for three hours isn't really all that ideal. I'd really like airlines to sit people with kids in one section of plane (the back!) and at least confine the noise to there.<br><br>I'm THIS close to saying BAH HUMBUG.The Guv'nerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17644868081292848220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228209859252142987.post-36426765398833250182007-07-20T12:33:00.000-04:002007-07-20T12:33:00.000-04:00Kids will be kids, but parents shouldn't be ki...Kids will be kids, but parents shouldn't be kids.<br><br>I taught my kids early how to beg in public and that the quieter your voice, the more you'd make.

Passing on your genetic material to whining crap factories is so passe. What is this, 1890? What's the matter, can't you hear me with your ear-phonograph, old man?<br><br>Kids suck and are the best reason to move to gay neighborhoods. Hell, they're the best reason to <i>be</i> gay. That way, you can put all your energies into what's really important: yourself. <br><br>Oh, and a lhasa apsa that you'll treat exactly like a kid.<br><br>As for actually relevant comments:<br><br>Maybe that woman was a single mother because Daddy couldn't take those f-ing kids any longer. That's her problem, not the waiting room's.<br><br>And I saw whatever the last Lord of the Rings movie was with a talkative 8-year-old behind me. The movie sucked on its own, but with a never-ending play by play of, "So THAT's how he got the ring," it was f-ing unbearable, to the point where I turned around and gave his dad a "Do I have to tell your kid to shut the f up, or are you going to cowboy up and do it for me?" glare.pistols at dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05200353078639769169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228209859252142987.post-68314562731191529212007-07-20T15:46:00.000-04:002007-07-20T15:46:00.000-04:00hey! i'm going to cali this weekend and won&#...hey! i'm going to cali this weekend and won't be back until september...here is the website i was talking about where i made extra summer cash.

It's all about consistency). Those parents all sound horrid and they are doing their children no favour by not helping them learn how to act.
