Well behaved children do not bother me, but it seems like most children are so unbehaved these days. I wish more parents would be responsible and make their children behave. I'll see kids running around, screaming, throwing fits, etc, and I've asked my mom a few times if I ever acted like that and she said no not really. They said if I ever did start throwing a fit, they immediately took me out of the restaurant or store. It's very unfair to subject others to a kid's screaming and missbehaving. Those of you that do teach your kids good manners and make them behave, Thank you! You're great parents!! |
I agree.
I don't have any children but I do have 2 BEAUTIFUL god-children. They're twins, Adrianna and Julianna. I love them so much and they're soooo well behaved!! There parents are both very solid and mature and they have taught the girls to behave and be respectful since they were born. They always say please, thank you and hardly ever interrupt their parents when they're talking and when they do, they say excuse me. They're so smart!!
But I agree with you that not every parent teaches their child to behave and it can be really frustrating for others. I remember Jim and I were having dinner at a nice restaurant and there was a family sitting at the booth next to us. Their 2 young children were throwing food and screaming at the top of their lungs. They were grabbing food off their parents plate and playing with it. One of the children flung a salt shaker at our table and it HIT ME ON THE SIDE OF MY HEAD!! The mother apologized but she didn't stop her children from misbehaving. It got so bad that the manager came over and told them that if they couldn't keep their children under control, they'd have to leave (and that's exactly what they did).
