Little kids don't sit still and they talk to people. That is a kid for craps sake. !!

My kids sit still and don't talk to strangers (or touch their things) when we are eating out. They aren't perfect, nor are they snowflakes (just for the record) but they don't mess around when we are eating out, and I can barely get them to talk to strangers even when I want them to (in specific circumstances). The 'kids will be kids' mentality is not always the best way to think about things.

 

[clovergirl5]

What about the "old lady's" right to not have her stuff touched? I guess it doesn't matter because she's not a precious snowflake.

Let me know the next time you go out to eat and I will make sure I set my diaper bags handle in your space....you better not touch it!

And I don't have a snowflake. I have beautiful, intelligent, well behaved and loving children. Snowflakes are meant to be eaten, don't you know that?

And neither is the opposite of that my dear.

We can start a monopoly of food related shows! We'll be rich!

Make sure there is a "No Farting" section for the audience.

 

[nuke]

Shouldn't you add screeching to that list?

Every parent thinks that about their own children. It doesn't mean that the rest of the world can or should ignore screeching or poking or misbehaving from otherwise "beautiful intelligent and well behaved" kids without an eye roll or two.

I think you are protesting too much here.

 

[clovergirl5]

Im sure a banning is in my future...just want to tell the op to hang in there. You have nothing to feel bad or responsible for. If by chance Im still here enjoying myself tomorrow, feel free to pm me op. I will definitely be one to be supportive good or bad. Thats what computer friends are for.

Where did that one come from? The bandwagon disapeared long ago

 

[AshleyW]

And not have her things touched, or have to entertain someone else's child.

I would have either ignored the child, moved my purse or possibly moved my location while eye rolling and sighing aggravatedly.

I am not old and I am healthy. I can do that. Could this "old woman." Who knows?

I nor anyone else should have to entertain your little snowflake.

THANK YOU!

The kid shouldn't have been touching and talking to a stranger in the first place. If he gets a nasty reaction, well then, there's a lesson for him. If a kid got his grubby little hands on my expensive purse, I probably would have been rude, too.

We'll make jail the farting and screeching zone. Go straight to McDonald's, do not pass go but feel free to pass gas.

Um, that was more like b with an itch and brat and your a bad mom. So not an eye roll or 2. Im over that lady. My issue is the joking and throwing past situations in someone face on here. There is no need to joke about a sore subject from the past on here. I got in trouble for starting a thread about the diva cup for craps sake. Why? It sounds to me that the particular subject was a problem for some reason. I can't talk about that but we can joke and make someone feel bad for a past thread?

Once again, because you must be the ONLY parent here whose kids have acted up in a public area so it is your situation alone.

 

[Stacerita]

and so did the kid and his mom, I believe they were there first. If I didn't want to sit by someone, I wouldn't sit by them. Little kids don't sit still and they talk to people. That is a kid for craps sake. If you know you don't like kids, DON'T SIT BY THEM...HE was there first!!

They can each decide where they want to sit. But the child should not have touched someone else's belongings. Period. And when he did, the mother should have told him not to do that. Yes kids are kids, but you know what, some do sit still and some don't talk to strangers. And who cares if he was there first. The lady should not have to worry about a kid at the next table. She was there to eat her damn big mac and be done with it.

I was once told something very profound online. "It's not all about YOU, glitterkittyy"

Wise words, wise words.




I still think it is all about me, though.

 

[Boxley]

What I meant is every parent has been in the situation where there kid was acting up in a public place, it happens, I am sure your child wasn't the first on the disboard to act up at a store, WalMart or otherwhise, and s/he wont be the last.

 

[Stacerita]

Okay, I'm sorry. It just struck me as strange that someone who was claiming her feelings were hurt kept encouraging people to continue to post and seemed disappointed when they didn't. And since I thought I remembered it was against the Disboards rules to have multiple accounts, I thought perhaps this user name was a different person entirely. I didn't remember the OP's name on the other thread - I thought it had something to do with Twinkies. If you say that's you, then I believe you.

You can have more than one account. If you get banned, you are not supposed to open a new account though. So if you want to be annon., you can get a new account to post with, and still keep your regular account. But if you are banned, you are not allowed to show back up with a new name. At least that is how it was explained to me.

Uhhh, mods a swear word, I got introuble for that before too. Watch, she won't.

I guess its okay if I was eating and someone sat down beside me and their purse strap fell on my silverware Tell me, what would you do? What would you say? I think people are speaking from mighty high horses here!
