Thank you again for flying HomegirlAirlines, where our motto is: "You ain't pay but $99 for the dayum ticket. Stop asking me what time the plane gon get there. We'll be there when we get there."

I love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And I am not hardcore, I am a FINER WOMAN, through and through.

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

GOOD! I can’t stand when people take their whining kids places knowing that the child behavior will disturb others.

Movies
Church
Class/School
To my house

Luckie love the kids but dang! I am glad a company took some action.

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.

People want to be friends with their kids, which IMO, is not the best approach to take when they are still kids. My mom and I are friends NOW, but I'm 30, out of the house and have a child. She taught me that parents are to be feared (to an extent) and respected. "I'm your MOTHER, not your FRIEND" was something I heard when I thought I was grown.

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.

I just won't be around those kids- the dad is not MY friend (he seems nice, but too much crazy in the kids for me to really trust) and I have no obligation to provide those kids with the home training their parents aren't providing.

I just stay far away.

I am 27 and I STILL have some residual fear of my Mother, lol. I respect her for all she did for me, including disciplining me when I needed it.

I find badass kids funny. Anyone watch Nanny 911? Of course it is not funny when they're your kids.

I'm 32 and I'm still scared of mine! When she calls my name, you better believe I respond with a "yes ma'am".

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.

No, you aren't. It takes a village, right?

[lovelyivy84]

I will tell any blood relation to me to quit actin up in a minute, and probably most black kids too, but I just don't feel comfortable talking to "other" people's kids for some reason.

I'm scared to tell other people's children to behave, especially in front of their parents. Black parents would probably curse me out, and white parents would probably call the cops.

I SO agree it takes a village.

When I worked retail, I had no problem giving someone acting like Bay-Bay's kids THE LOOK. If I am shopping in the grocery store, I still have a tendency to give bad azzed kids THE LOOK

co-sign this ^^.

I can still remember getting "the look" from my moms, live and direct from the choir stand at the GNL Baptist Church back in the day.
Your boys would be like, " uh, Tony can I get your baseball cards, cause from the look on your mom's face, you ain't gon be playin' with them no time soon."
