Ohh I agree!!! Once I was in a mall and a child was running around haphazard, ran *into* me and fell down. The mother had the audacity to get up in my face and yell at me 'why did I knock down her kid'? Seriously!?!?!
What really bugs me is when parent(s) will bring a small fussy child into a LATE evening non G or PG movie & refuse to leave when the child cries, etc.

Arrrggh! Get a babysitter!! Or better yet, wait till it comes out On Demand. Geez.
And I HATE IT when kids are running around in public places and almost ram into people who are minding their own business and their parents can't be found.
Put a leash on 'em or leave em home!!! hahaha (That is only partly serious. I know there are well-behaved kids out there that don't need the child leash or to be left at home)

amen. makes me wanna punch the parent in the face. idc whether they're spank or anti-spank, but if they're not into spanking their kids they need to find away to ensure that they're well behaved in public.

LOL! Now that's funny!

Seriously, the airlines need to have planes with play areas during special times of the day and charge a gajillion dollars for these flights than putting them on biz class flights with travel pros.
When I went on flight, the 5 y/o pee'd in the seat behind me. Kids don't fear adults anymore. When I was little I was more fearful of the ass whoopin' I'd have gotten from my mom, than what any other adult would've given me, if she found out I acted ugly...
Anyhow, I'm amused by kids & I can get them to say things that have their parents laughing hysterically... Like, 33girl's post...

I once sat behind a kid on a direct flight to LAX (from Ohio).
He had to be at least 4 or 5 and he was having a complete meltdown, and would NOT stop KICKING MY SEAT.
I turned around and asked Mom to keep him from doing that.
She said "Oh, he's just cranky and hasn't had a nap yet" and just LET HIM keep doing it.
I was like WTF?
So I turned around and put my iPod ears back in hoping I could ignore him, but I just couldn't.
I pushed the button and mentioned it to the flight attendant. She tried to move me, but there weren't anymore seats, so she told me she'd speak to the woman about it.
The flight attendant asked her to keep her son from kicking the seat and she was FURIOUS. I heard her say that "My son has a RIGHT to be comfortable, we paid for this flight blah blah blah."
Sure, your kid has a right to be comfortable, but not while making ME uncomfortable. Sorry.

I would have told her to put the kid in a straight jacket and give him a dose of Bendryl.
I've been on this flight, and it's typically full of screaming kids and parents that behave badly. I do whatever it takes to avoid traveling on weekends.
I once had a kid on a jet plop himself down in the aisle at the time everyone was de-planing. I was in the seat next to him. When I reached up to grab my bag, he said, "don't hit me with your bag". I looked directly at his monther and said, "he has more of a chance of being stepped on by the rest of the cabin than me hitting him on the head with my bag". I think she was shocked that I said anything. She had no response and I booked for baggage claim.
What I really wanted to say was, "get your Effing kid off the floor".

Oh hell to the naw! I woulda been cussing that bitch out up and down that plane.
I was just talking to DH about this (he once had a kid who kicked his seat from Halifax, NS to Montreal). Had that been me on the flight, she woulda been laid out
DH applauded Southwest but would NOT have apologized to her NOR given her a voucher

That's because many parents don't discipline like they should anymore. They are too busy befriending their children, making deals, and negotiating like their children pay rent or something. All my mom had to do was give me "the look" and the "tight lip" and I calmed my butt right on down.
Please! Let's bring back "real" parenting. That's all I have to say. And we wonder why many of our children are out of control?

I know! It's SO annoying. Especially when it happens in the movie theater. I went to see "This is it" this weekend, but I couldn't even enjoy it because some lady decided she wanted to bring her 2 year old with her. Why would anyone bring a 2 year old to a movie to disturb others? I mean she wouldn't even take him out of the theater, she just sat there while he screamed. I'm not trying to be a crab or anything, it's just that there's this thing called "common courtesy?"
