Society & Culture Things in life you just don't understand

Because if you do that every time they scream you're going to have screaming, demanding children who act up constantly if they don't get their way.

I beg to differ - it's respect for other patrons. There is nothing wrong with removing them from the environment and discussing their behaviour and consequences if it continues when they go back inside. The key is to follow through with the consequence

I hate beer, don't smoke and don't believe in god. I wish I had a truck like they do though.

...but you gotta drive the truck for too long and over a lonnnngggg way....hence boredom hence country cds about the loneliness of truckin...a Vicious Circle

Again, depends on circumstance. Try doing that with a 2 year old.

So take your 2 year old to an age appropriate restaurant then, where it's acceptable to scream and be a public nuisance.

I'm a mother of three - it's an effective technique and really not that hard to put in place. In a place such as a restaurant it's not just about you and your child, it's also about those trying to enjoy their own meal. Pretending you can't see or hear their behaviour might be the solution at home but it's certainly not in public

This is why my wife and I stay at home! Haha. We would take our kids to a more family oriented place. If there is a toddler tantrum he'll get a couple of chances to listen. If he's adamant about playing up then we're outta there.

Clip under the ear.
Wooden spoon around the legs.
If you don't stop whinging I'll really give you something to whinge about.

Those were the days. The good old olden days.

When did society shift that children are the responsibility of anyone other than parents? I'm sure I played up when I was a toddler but I didn't do it in restaurants.

I'm sure you did, but you weren't taught not to.

News reporting that two people went Kayaking last night in the wind storm and had to be rescued.

How stupid can you be. Winds were ridiculously strong last night, Hey I got an idea lets go Kayaking in it.

Right. Children should learn how to behave in public, at home. Got it.

But if you're not teaching them in public, you're just annoying everyone else.

How does that work? Teaching them at home annoys other people too?

 

[raskolnikov]

I've spent the day being based in a general staff room (just for today). As far as I can tell there are about 20 teachers based in here.

Have NFI how they can stand being in an office as big as this. Only here for 1 day and already had enough.

Mine has twelve teachers plus teacher aides in and out all the time. We also have students constantly banging on the door. It drives me nuts at times.

And that's where it comes back to the individual circumstance.

Yeah sounds about right. Nope, could not stand it- Luckily I'm in two offices- one with 5 people in it, the other 2. Is bliss. Except for the occasional mobile phone going off. But after experiencing what I experienced yesterday, won't complain about that ever again!

 

[Cruyff14]

Was at the musuem the other day and my girlfriend and I were looking at an exhibit reading the placard sort of thing that accompanied the thing, there was about a foot distance between ourselves and the placard thing.

This little kid comes between us and the placard and we sort of just look at each other like and think wtf. Parent nowhere to be seen. Kid then runs off.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Kids are quick so it's easy for them to bolt like that. Sure the parents weren't far behind.

Thought the same thing when I heard it on the news this morning.Idiots like that deserve to drown.

Great balls of fire



Why would you do that ?

It did come off w***erish and I do apologise to Hard Ball Get for that. My kids were certainly no angels and still aren't, but I did take responsibility for their behaviour when out and would leave a venue If they were being disruptive little shits.

I thought it was against the law to use your phone while driving? ABC should no better publishing footage from such arrogant road users.

I don't understand women who have problems. I find they almost always unfairly come back on me and I don't have the compassion or empathy to respect their absurd grievances.

It's ok Danger, hold on for one more day things will get better.
