Everyone has the right to raise their kids howerver they like. However, there are many people who shouldn’t have that right. At. All.
If your child is over 1 year old, they should not drink a bottle or suck on a pacifier! This is so gross and it’s not that hard to take it away. Just make it disappear! Kids have short attention spans, all you have to do is suffer through a day or 2 of whining & crying. If you can’t manage that, you can’t manage much.
If your kid is screaming “I want it!!!” in a store, that means NO! You say no & you mean it. Otherwise you’re weak & you’re sending your kid the wrong message. Just fucking say “NO” and stick to it. Don’t say “Ok honey, Mommy (or Daddy) will get it for you, don’t cry” Bullshit! I see those people everyday & I want to smack the shit out of them.
If your kid is having a massive temper tantrum, take the kid outside! It is so rude and obnoxious to make other people suffer through your kids screaming fit. Especially in a restaraunt. People are paying good money to eat there and they sure as shit don’t want to listen to your kid. This pisses me off tremendously when we have found a sitter for our kids and are trying to have a nice evening out. People are so inconsiderate!
Never take your kids (especially a baby or toddler) to a movie that is not meant for children. Find a sitter or stay your ass home! Again, paying good money for this activity & don’t want to be interrupted by your children. There are plenty of movies that you can take your kid to.
There are so many things people do that bug me to no end, and it doesn’t help that I work with the public on a daily basis.
However, I will not go on forever, so last but not least…
WATCH YOUR OWN KID!! Pay attention to where your kids are at all times. When in public, they should be within arms reach. If this can not be achieved, strap them in the stroller or shopping cart.
Just do it.
