You'd probably get a big response. Based on this thread there are a lot of Walmart shoppers.

ooh, a Hawaiian Luaua sounds fun, I'll bring the mai tai's!

Awesome! And I propose games. We'll have two teams.

Those siding with the lady who called the kid a brat, your team captain will be the guy who slapped the kid at Walmart and was arrested for child cruelty:

Those siding with the screeching child, your team captain is this kid right here:

Alright folks, pick your team!

Oh, and BYOBV!! (Bring your own blue vest!)

The company had revenue of over 400 billion dollars last year. Based on that there are a lot of Walmart shoppers.

Went to Walmart today and had no issues. Our WM actually is not too bad.

A few weeks ago I took my two kids to Walmart as we needed to buy some things. Well since my son is 2 and likes to run around a lot I put him in the cart. Of coarse my 4 year old daughter got jealous and wanted to be in it as well, but I told her no. So then we went and bought some soup, crackers and some toothpaste (we were all out, you know how toothpaste is!). Then we had to pick the shortest line and had a nice man serve us. My son loves to talk to other people and they had a very cute conversation. So then I bought all the stuff and put it in the car and drove home.

How was that for random? Thought I would join in on this totally random thread...

No flames from me. This is exactly what I do with my kids. From an early age, if my kids started acting up, squalling, or falling apart I just packed it in and left. Didn't matter if it was a store, a restaurant, church, park or Chuck E. Cheese. You act up and you're going home, to your room, with no music and no toys. No negotiations. No pleading or threatening. You get one warning. The second infractions results in your removal and punishment. Period. My two older children didn't have any problem understanding the rules and I probably had to remove each of them twice in their lives. My kids have always been easy to take places because we expect them to be well-behaved or we remove them.

Even my mentally handicapped 14yo rarely has tantrums. We know that he cannot sit still and be quiet during concerts, church services, weddings, etc. He has the cognitive skills of a baby. Therefore we hear a lot of squealing, hooting, clapping and other disruptive noises. If we are unable to leave him at home, we take him with us. The very *second* he starts, one of us gets up and removes him from the setting, sometimes staying outside the entire time. Fun? not so much. But I wouldn't even think of subjecting other people to my child's carrying on, I don't care how "special" he is. He doesn't understand manners in formal places. It's my job to take care of it for him.

TY! That is exactly how my mom and dad disciplined me!

The other day, I took my gma (she's 82 and walks with a cane) to the store and some kid was running wild through the shop! He nearly tripped my gma and almost ran into my cart! I just shook my head.

But....when he and his mom finally left the store.....I said out loud, "Hello, that's what leashes are for!" To the sound of applause from the entire shop.
