No, its called tolerating and dealing with people/everyday life situations.

WOW! I can't believe you would even think about all that especially a handicap person and then to post it. I know you were mad but That doesn't help your case in my opinion.

You know what amazes me about this thread and many others like it? The fact that everyone here loves to go to Disney. We all know you will never find a whining, crying, sniffling, cranky or otherwise melting down child at WDW. For those of you so bothered by children having a off moment how on earth do you ever survive the Magic Kingdom? It has never yet magically made children behave perfect for a day. If it did the mothers of this world would never leave

If we're talking an "off moment," then it's no big deal. But if the kid is melting down all over the place, then why not take them off somewhere for a time out? Not just for others around you, but for them to calm down too.

I never took my kids to WDW when they were little, but we went to amusement parks and I never had a problem finding a spot off to the side to deal with issues. WDW would be even better because you could go back to the hotel room for a couple of hours to unwind!

Kids are SUPPOSED to misbehave in Walmart. It's WALMART, and we all know the kind of people who shop there. Let's be honest.

Wow, what a thread!
I read most of the posts up to page 11....

I am pretty sure I BEHAVE WORSE than this kid when Im at walmart!
I get pretty cranky when I'm pushing that big cart full of crap and the same slow pokes keep getting in my way. Am I the only one? Walmart just makes people mean, angry and crabby. Just like the Dis. Except, on the Dis they cant see your face.. and at Walmart they get to see you in sweat pants and your husbands Tshirt.

Oh, please. Would you be so kind as to tell us exactly what kind of people shop at Wal-Mart?

I see teachers shopping in Wal-Mart, doctors and nurses, farmers and restaurant workers, real estate agents, policemen and prison guards, young families, single Mom's, elderly couples, why I've even seen nuns shopping at Wal-Mart. Do all of those people fall into the category of the kind of people you think shop there?

So sorry! How rude. I know sometimes we are tired and yes the whining of kids at the stores can be annoying but they are kids and they are probably tired too. I have kids and I remember those days, knowing my temper I would had hit her on the head with a can of soup of something.

I honestly don't think how any grown up feels it is there place to attempt to name call

But...but...in your post you keep calling the other person an old goat and a senile old fool. Hmm.

Anway, I am another one who sees a big difference in a parent who is actively trying to TEACH their child proper behavior, and a parent who is more interested in reading the label of freakin' Nabob coffee while smiling obliviously that their child is just "expressing herself" or some crap.

Note: I would not actually cause a physical confrontation no matter what anyone SAID to me...if you feel the need to strike out with violence, there are meds for that.

 

[PixieDust32]

Oh gosh! It was just a joke! Indeed we have meds for everything now days, I mean everything!

Sorry, just for the record I was not talking to you! My post appears after yours but you are not the one that scares me, lol.

 

[PixieDust32]

Oh I see, well just for the record I was just joking don't want to start anything. thanks

Disney always reinforced the idea that I may not want to have kids!

I have seen examples of some of the best parenting ever at Disney as well as some parents who should never have reproduced. It rarely has anything to do with the actions of the child, but how the parent responds - much like the topic of this thread...

I once watched a father take his child out of a line they had been in for almost an hour when the child had a melt down. If I could have given that father a medal, I would have. (If that parent is out there and happens to read this - THANK YOU!)

See the problem is... that's all the same person in different garb each day.
Thats why people have a bad feel for Walmart.


Just Kidding!!!
Sorry. This thread is too serious.
You know what they say, Only liars dont shop at walmart.

Relax, it's a joke.

Pretty soon the DIS is going to have a new board called The Perfect Parents of Perfect Children Board where you don't go looking for advise because of course you don't need it, but instead just pat each other on the back all day for the great job you're doing and "Gosh golly gee" to your hearts content. Anyone who has ever had a 2 year old who has had a melt down will not frequent that board I'm sure.

I don't recall anyone saying they were a perfect parent, nor do I recall anyoone saying their kid never had a meltdown.

What I do recall is some folks saying that when their kids start to act up to a point where they are disturbing others, the parent removes them from the situation instead of remaining and thinking "Oh yes, I am going to stay here and do what I need to do and because I have kids and kids will be kids, everyone else will just have to deal with it".

I believe I already posted that I would not have approached the parent of a screeching child. Frankly, there are too many nuts in the world to risk getting into an altercation with one.

I am pretty sure kids can be taught how to behave in public. When I was a kid, my mother & I sat in the car once when we had gone out to dinner as a family because I was acting up, she said if I acted up once more, we'd sit in the car, I didn't believe her, (big mistake! ), figured she wouldn't miss a restaurant meal, I acted up again, Mom and I were in the car while Dad and brother finished their dinner.

I learned 2 valuable lessons that day:
1. Don't act up in public.
2. They mean what they say.

But my parents never thought they were here to be my friend. They knew they were here to be my parent.
