My views were much diffrnet before I had kids, but not now. My daughter is very well behaved in public but she still acts up from time to time and I could care less what others think or feel during that moment. My attention is her not them. I teach my daughter to be good in public but that is fr me not for anyone else. I may be selfish but I don't care, we pay taxes we deserve to eat and shop when and where we want no matter what. That does'nt mean I would let my child go crazy in public but a little tantrum or crying is nothing to drop your cart in an isle for or to leave in the middle of dinner for. I have never personally had any one say anything to me about my kids acting up because it is rare, but I can promise you this if they ever did they would be leaving with a fat lip! I think everyone should just mind there own bussiness. So many people who have NO KIDS are judgmental towards those who do like they would be so much better at it, untill you walk a day in a parents shoes you have no room to comment. PERIOD!! |
Everyone has the right to post their opinion whether they have children or not. That said, I think it is ridiculous to threaten to give someone a fat lip just because they point out that your child is disturbing them. Yeah, that's a valuable lesson to teach your child. When I was a kid, my mother would have smacked me if anyone had to point out that I was misbehaving. That was back when parents actually disciplined their kids. Now everything is about excuses. As a former school teacher, I can't tell you how many times I got questioned for punishing children who were causing disturbances in the classroom. I guess these were the same parents that threatened to give people fat lips when they were actually asked to do their job as parents and control their children when they were younger. And you wonder why society is the way that it is today with so much juvenile delinquency!!
