Ok, so am I the only one that doesn't mind telling other people's kids how to act - in front of the parents? I will tell a child that is kicking me in the seat on a plane to stop kicking me in a second...in front of the parent. Never had a problem b/c the parents are usually embarassed and don't try to defend that foolishness.

Shoot, I had to tell this young boy of about 12 or 13 to say excuse me when he kept reaching over my food to get napkins at the checkout line at the movies last week. It's not my fault - his Mother should have trained him. I figure if she won't do it, I will b/c I don't want him just out there not knowing how to conduct himself.

Am I the only one training other people's kids? LOL.

People also don't want to be seen in public as being mean to their kids. Negro, please. I took my daughter out to dinner as an early Christmas gift, and the child across the aisle from us was yelling, climbing on the booth, cursing (muthaf***er, repeatedly), and his mother and grandmother were just talking like NOTHING was going on. My daughter looked at him and was like, "Mommy, he is a baaad boy. He needs a spanking. That is not how you are supposed to act when you go out." and shook her head. Lesson learned.

If its a friend of mine, I'll tell the kid to use your indoor voice or what have you. If THAT doesnt work, they get the Mommy look. That works.

I mean, parenting should not be rocket science.
