Other people's kids

azoomm · 08-10-2010, 09:45 PM

That's right, we all hate them. It isn't that our own are perfect - it's that THEIRS are little monsters. Here's the place to rant about them, and as a bonus we can freak Tommy out in the process

I'll start. Not only did I deal with a screaming vermin on the plane on Sunday. But, today at the grocery store another one shrieking in every isle. It was gleeful, but just as high pitched and ridiculous. Once, ok. Twice, alright. But, every other moment??!? It's not cute anymore - no one likes your kid. And, when mommy didn't give her attention, that glee turned sour.

Why was I seen as the bad guy when I told her that perhaps children should be seen and not heard?

Talking about other people's kids always makes me think about this.

I love making my sisters kids go ape shit in public. Mainly because they aren't my kids and I love pissing everyone in the place off.

Call me weird... I love kids. 1 out of 10 may be truly unruly and it's the parent's fault, not the kid's. Children are the only true innocence the world knows. They aren't stuck on pathetic societal rules stating you can't run and scream...and have fun any dang time you want to. So let them have fun, soon enough they'll be grown up and cranky like the rest of us...complaining about other parents' kids.

Got yelled at by a lady in the super market last week, she had a few kids running amok in the aisles. One is running full speed and of course not looking where shes going and hits an immovable object aka my hip/leg and falls and starts crying.

Somehow it was my fault that her kid was crying. While shes ragging on me I just told her to eat a bag of dicks and walked away. typical LI soccer mom so i think she was trying to figure out my comment, plus they always back down when YOU become confrontational with them

It seems to me that more and more people try and bring their kids everywhere. There are places children just aren't appropriate and it's annoying when they ruin my time because they're undisciplined.

I used to really love hanging out with my nieces and nephew. As they've gotten a bit older, and more and more unruly, they are hard to be around because they are so annoying.

Some think its cute when you go to a restaurant or something and theyre wandering to other tables and that sort of thing. I find it annoying more than anything.

Oh I would be quite vocal about that kind of situation.

It's not difficult to have well behaved children.
