CTFU!
I have no kids, so I can't relate but I am taking notes. I always wonder why it seems like most parents today are afraid of their children?
I went to a restaurant with my bf and a few friends of his. One friend brought his two kids, who spent 30 minutes crawling on the floor under the table or literally SITTING on their father (big ass 7 year old) whining, whining, whining the whole time.... I wanted to find him a switch.
I started a conversation about how great beatings were *hint, hint* and how every kid needs a whoopin at least once in a while- the way I figure it, if you as a parent don't do it now, life, or someone who will not put up with their snotty attitudes, will do it later. ALL the adults at the table (except the dad) agreed with me. The kids got a little more quiet after that, lol.
The funniest thing? The guy and his ex-wife are both therapists, with two of the most messed-up, badly behaved children I have eeeever seen.

ETA: Children's church is a wonderful thing. We have one of those "I'll make noise b/c the preacher is talking" babies, and her mom is CLUELESS. Take your child to Children's church (we have monitors in the baby room) or out in the foyer so the rest of us can hear The Word in relative quiet. Have a little consideration. Bring a coloring book or some quiet toys or SOMETHIN!!!  That's a pet peeve of mine. Only had to take my child out ONCE. She knows better now. If she gets bored or restless, she goes to sleep.
but Mommy don't play that "Imma act out in public b/c she won't do anything" mess. I can find a bathroom or a secluded corner with my Mommy-vision, handle bidness (yeah, BIDNESS!!) and keep it moving. shiddddddd. lol |
