Oh and your punching someone in the face because they told your kid to be quiet would land you in court and if you did break a nose or teeth, guess what, it's ag assault if you break bones/teeth and that my friend is a felony. And don't forget the lawsuit that the guy can and will bring against you.

You are not the center of the universe and neither are your kids. Control them otherwise someone else will.

Uhh, bullshit. If it appears you are a threat to my child and I am defending my child, then feel free to try and win that lawsuit.

you can't smack them for it. if so people would be claiming child abuse. you cant give into the tantrum it would cause them to do it again and again.

Even the best behaved children have tantrums every now and then. My daughter is good for one every 6 months. the rest of the time she is a great. we have recieved many compliments for her behavior in resturants.

just every now and then she has a breakdown.

It's painfully obvious who has kids on this thread. Painful in regards to the loudmouths who don't. It's probably a good thing. They're too immature.

^ plus performing an act of violence in front of your own child would be another bulletpoint in the parental guidebook right ?

I agree with the embarrassment point. YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED.

I don't have kids yet, but if they are uncontrollable, I'd be embarrassed to bring them out in public. I can forget about eating out, etc. Find a sitter.

that's why my mother took my sister and me to either the restroom or the car. she'd really lay down the law on us, then go back in the store with us wimpering. :thumbsup:

 

[AMCRambler]

He sould have said "STFU noob!!!!"

 

[Kaspian]

Your friend is an fking a$$hole. Yelling at the child like that, totaly unacceptable.

I bet there'd be a difference. Any understanding of a retarded child would show you that they may have the mindset of a younger child, but there's still parts lacking. I've dealt with younger children before and my younger brother is mentally retarded... trust me, he's worse.

Now like I mentioned, don't get me wrong, it may've been a bit over the top, but was an action necessary? I'd say so. Just because you're a parent does not make you an infallible person, and sometimes they need someone else to keep 'em on the path or at least direct them toward the path as they're very... very far off .

No way around it? Sounds like we've got the dad of that little brat right here guys.

OK, # of kids and thier ages.

If your kids do it, leave them at home, tie them up in the garage or put them in the care of a few Siberian Huskies, I really don't care.

But if you bring your litter to a public place and can't control them - don't expect me to put up with it.

If it's a restaurant, or some place you're going to be relaxing, I don't. If it's a store- you're going to deal with it. It hardly ever happens, but with 10000 people a day in any random store, you're going to experience it a few times. Get over yourself. I've never had anything but sympathy from people the few times my kids have had meltdowns (because they were parents and they know it happens). I can't see many people coming up to me and saying F-U though (I'm 6'4" and 230 lbs ). My kids are well above the tantrum stage (7 and 11). That stage only lasts until 4 or 5.

This only applies when the tantrum does not significantly affect others. It is one thing for them to throw a tantrum in the car, in your home, even on the street. It is another when you are in a quiter environment.

sure there are some rotten parents. i have ran into many myself.

BUT even the best parent is going to have a child that occasionaly has a tantrum. it happens. Any person here who says they have a 2-5 yr old and they never have tantrums in public is a lieing sack of shit.

sometimes talking to my daughter gets her to calm down. IF my wife is with me i take her to the van. IF i am by myself and nothing else is working i ignore it. NOT much else i can do.

I get what i came to the store for and leave.

3 kids 10, 8 and 7, the last 2 are only 13 months apart and they have NEVER displayed that kind of tantrum in public.

I guarantee that your pal looked like 10 times more of an ass than the mom or her kid. Grow up.

Agreed. Ignore for the thirty seconds it takes to get from the checkout lane to the car and get the belt off. MisterJackson is right though, pre-emptive discipline works the best. I knew that I was going to get the hell beat out of me if I acted up, and doubley if I acted up in public. My mother doesn't take too kindly to embarassment.

IF you are in a resturant (not McDonalds) then you shouldnt be there if the child is not ready for it. , IF you are in a library then you can leave without books. they are not that important.

BUT a store you have to get what you need and get out.

 

[Toasthead]

I would have punched you friend right in the face.



Of course I would have taken my child outside of the store, so it wouldn't have come to this.

[TXHokie]

I've got 3 kids less than 5 so I know well about the tantrums. When in public and I see a session about to start up, the offending kid will be taken outside and get a stern talking to at eye level until he/she cools down. Ignoring the tantrum and subjecting people around you to your screaming kid is just bad parenting and being generally inconsiderate. Why do some people treat public places with people as if they're at home? I would not even have my relatives put up with my kids' rant much less a store full of strangers. 15 seconds of screaming is long enough much less 3 min. I'd give thumbs up to OP's friend but I would leave out the expletives in his outbust though.

ya right because you can't discipline your own child anyone else who claims to have done so is lying. :roll:


all three of my kids are past that age, but not far past it as my youngest is 7 and they never threw a trantrum like that in public EVER and rarely at home.

oh yeah. I knew damn well what i was in for if i had a fit in the store. wich is why i didnt do it.

my daughter has done it when younger (anything under 4 you can't talk to them or reason with them. and physical punishment is useless to apoint). from 4-5 she has done it maybe 3 times.

all 3 times we walked out of the store (usually my wife is with me when we shop) went to the van and she got a small wooping and stern talking to. then when got home she lost her privleges (watching tV, playing gameboy etc).

the worst (best?) punishment for her is not allowing her to go outside and play.

heh i can disipline my children. In fact as i said we get many compliments on how well behaved they are.

have they had tantrums? sure have.

And yes i find it very hard to beleive your claim that they have NEVER had a tantrum in public.

 

[Zysoclaplem]

If you are going to try to educate your child on tantrums in public, don't be surprised when the public educates them, and you.

And to all these people threatening to use their massive size and strength to hurt anyone who raises their voice at your child, perhaps you ought to step back and realize that there is always a bigger fish.

I am 5'7" 135lbs, and yes you could whip my ass for yelling at you and your child, but you know what, I know quiet a few large people that will do horrible things for just a little bit of money. And while you decide to hit me a few times, you will be sitting in jail while my friends are vandalizing your car and your home. And when you get out of jail, I have a feeling you are going to be in the hospital very very soon.

So take it in stride and realize that most people won't say anything unless something really needs to be done. And take responsibility and shut your damn kid up. The world does not revolve around you.

whats so hard to understand about that? my 3 kids 14, 11 and 8 NEVER acted up in the store when they were younger.
