Have You Ever Yelled at Someone Else's Kid?

I had to stare at the back of his shirt all through my otherwise very enjoyable meal of beer cheese dip and whitehorse pizza. I wanted to go whap him on the back of the head and tell him to grow up.

Had you done so, you would have become my new heroine!

I gave a laugh when I saw the title of this thread because my automatic answer was, yes, but I have lost count of how many times! lol!

I am a teacher and in my summers during college I was a summer camp leader at a local rec center! I totally agree with the other posters who had similar experiences! The kids at the day summer camp seriously may have been the spawn of Satan! No manners and no idea of what is wrong and right. I was totally a mom those summers for some of those kids!

Being a teacher, I try not to yell, but when you see a kid doing something out of the corner of your eye that is totally wrong, you have to say something!

I am in DC this week on vacation and I am going to have to try really hard not to yell at kids who are doing stupid stuff!

It has already been hard because we have a bunch of high schoolers staying at our hotel and they are annoying! I have not yelled at them yet though!

My nephews are so bad that when I see other kids acting up in public i think it's them and automatically start yelling. lol

but one time I was watching all 4 of my nephews and my niece (9,7,7,4 and my niece is 2) so i thought it would be a good idea to take them to the playground to wear them out so they would be tired for the rest of the day. Big mistake. when we got to the playground there were so many kids but they didn't want to leave so we stayed.

The older boys were playing on the monkey bars so my niece, wanting to hang with the big boys, kept trying to get on them also. I kept having to rescue her from the first bar and sitting her down. SHe had done it so much that I told her we were gonna go home if she did it again. As i was making my rounds checking up on the boys I saw her get back up on that bar. I grabbed her from behind and said "See that was you last chance now we're going home. I told you..." and as i was turning her around i saw that i wasn't holding my niece.

I put the unknown child down and looked around for angry parents and walked off. Turns out my niece was on the slide.

I try that so often! There was one day when I was working at the day camp that we set up 4 cones and played run-around-inside-the-cones-and-if-you-leave-them-you-lose-swim-time.

Great way to waste 20 minutes. Of course, though, the kids didn't get tired..

Y'all might remember that this thread was started when I recounted what 2 of my kids did to strangers at Disney. One of the 2 came into town today and said, "It wasn't as bad as what B (her brother) did!"

It seems that our 12 year old was so excited as we were walking into the Magic Kingdom that he grabbed up someone he thought was his 9 year old brother and gave him a noogie. Problem was--it wasn't his brother!

I just now found out. And now I'll always wonder about the strange kid!! Did he run to his parents screaming about what just happened? Will he always remember what happened as he entered Disney? LOL!!! I am on the FLOOR!!!!
