Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

That's exactly what my grand-nephew's does.

All completely true!

Well heads up, in a few years he will beg you to get him Pokemon games then get stuck in the first town for 2 years since he doesn't want to readhow to use HMs. Then he will go back to playing CoD and saying how it is the best game ever.

I want to kill parents who let their kids scream and annoy people in public cause they can't be bothered to stop them.

What do you expect them to do? Put a muzzle on them?

In 'Merica people will call the cops on you if you do discipline them in public lol.

So a while ago I had decided to treat myself and go to Burger King. I hadn't had the greatest of days and I had a headache coming on. It was a very long line and I was at the end of it waiting patiently. When behind me comes this woman yapping on her cellphone with a little monster of a child.

This kid was out of control, screaming, punching his mother throwing around a gameboy whenever something didn't go right in the game. The mother didn't seem to pay any attention to him and his continued yelling of 'I want a *** PIE'. After about 5 minutes of the line with these people behind me, I had gone from a headache to a full on migraine, but nothing was going to stop me from getting those burgers.

I calmly turn and ask her nicely if she can please calm or quiet her child down. Immediately she gets up in my face telling me I can't tell her nothing about raising her child and to mind my own business. I nod and turn around, shes still yelling at the back of my head when the child cries out again how he wants a pie, the mother consoles him, calling him sweety and ensuring they'll get pies for lunch because she loves him so much. Things immediately go back to the they were and I wait another 5 minutes before getting to the front of the line.

It turns out it was so slow because they had 1 trainee on cash during the lunch hour rush. All I can think of is how the people behind me ruined my splurge and gave me this headache. I then decide to ruin their day. I order every pie they have left in addition to my burgers. Turned out to be 23 pies in total, I take my order and walk towards the exit.

Moments later I hear the woman yelling, what do you mean you don't have any pies left, who bought them all? I turn around and see the cashier pointing me out with the woman shooting me a death glare. I stand there and pull out a pie and slowly start eating eat as I stare back at her. She starts running towards me but can't get to me because of other lineups in the food court. I turn and slowly walk away.

Educate them.

If the parent's method is to let them loose he can do so in their home, not around others.

It's not that simple Seha, it just isn't and you know that. There's times where a kid wants to throw a tantrum, and you just have to let them go through with it, as trying to make it stop only makes it worse. Well the alternative is to usually give them what they want, but I often adamantly refuse to do so, but it's hard when almost everyone else likes to spoil.

but you have to be respectful of others.

Kinda extreme but some weeks ago at the hairdresser there was this kid who absolutely did not want to have a haircut. It was screaming like they were cutting his legs rather than his hair, it was incredible...three people had to keep it still to get the job done(and it was kinda dangerous..)
Anyway...I know some kids just hate haircuts for some reason, but the mother...

She was just there giggling and telling the stylist to adjust here or there where it was nigh impossible to satisfy the requests...but what blew my mind was at the end of this tragedy the mother goes "You've been very good, I'll buy you icecream!"

Dude...I understand if you said it earlier as a promise to try to calm the kid; but after you ignored the despair that an entire shop went through you give him a reward...?
I think the hairdresser deserved a icecream, not the child.

Could always just do like Grandad from the Boondocks.
