Kids are like adults, but on a lesser self-controlled level. They have bad days where small things annoy them or they feel cheated or something someone said was taken the wrong way. They just need instruction on how to handle it all. So, Changed.. Calm down.. Count to ten and if you don't like what Jimmy's doing, go over there to lane 15 near Sally. She's making cute faces. 
Hmmmm that's an idea, & men should do this birthing of 9 year olds. |

I cant stand everyone elses little kids Why do they take them out shopping with them
The constant whining 
Perhaps you should try shopping online from the comfort of your own home if you're annoyed that much by other people's kids.  Your a Genies

No is not. YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT THAT. While my kids were growing up, they were thought how to behave in public. They were MY CHILDREN, NOT ANYONE ELSE's. Perhaps the abstraction of my analogy was lost on you here? This isn't a right or wrong thing, this is a perspective and my opinion. You've never heard the phrase it takes a village to raise a child? Yes, but it does not mean you take that expression literally. Furthermore, changeofheart is also expressing his opinion; there is no need to come out with the guns drawn. |

If some of us have brats as kids, is not the responsibility of others to put up with that. Yes, it is. It's not fair, but no one said life was fair. It's also our responsibility, not to just put up with it, but to help raise these brats. It takes a village. Geesh.

I'm trying to say, tactfully, that the only person taking anything literally is you. OP took my tone as intended, apparently you took it as an attack. |

Yes, but it does not mean you take that expression literally. So you're trying to tell me that you alone raised them? That no one else taught them or coached them or took them to the movies or helped them learn any lessons in life? I think you jumped into that one without thinking, but I'm sure you can see now what is really meant. It is a literal concept unless you're Heidi or something. That's all she was trying to bring into the conversation. And yes, I've stood in many check-out lines where the mom was trying to load bags into the cart and the child was crying, and I made faces or talked to the child to help the mom out. It's just the nice thing to do) |

It's just the nice thing to do) I was a single mother of 3 children, working 2 jobs and attending college. All my family lived at least 800 miles away from me. to answer your question, Yes I DID raise them ALONE. Also, the example you are giving is not of a bad behaving child, maybe a kid that was tired. The children changeofheart is talking about are misbehaving brats that can't be controled by the parents. |
