Lets bash the PARENTS that dont control their kids in restaurants.
Kids are kids but when the parents lets them run wild, talk loud and TURN AROUND IN THE BOOTH AND STARE AT YOU WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO EAT,then its the adults that are annoying and in need of training.

Everyone agree?

2. Yes indeed.
Kids are just being kids. It's up to their parents to set rules and then fuckin' ENFORCE them.

5. Absolutely.
That's all I've ever said, and what most people ( and other parents who "get it") have said.

6. I respect parents who make an honest effort.
The parents who act oblivious to their childrens' behavior irritate me to no end.

But, if a parent is attentive, and making the effort I am more patient.

8. AMEN!!!!!
Kids will be kids.
That's why there are parents, to help them learn to become fully functional adults. It doesn't magically happen.

10. Kids yesterday at Macys
I was in the handbag department and two boys, probably ages 8 and 10, were running around, really RUNNING, yelling and at some points knocking handbags off of tables and racks.

It wasn't until they ran INTO ME that the mother finally did something.

What did she do?

She said "stop it" without even looking up.

Did they stop?

Take a guess.

11. That's all we ever bitch about it
It's the overly sensitive "children are so precious" idiots who keep thinking that we're dissing children when we ask that they stay out of places in which a ruckus would be inappropriate.

12. They're the same ones that say their kids can do no wrong.
Even when they get caught red-handed.
I bet that a great percentage of those types voted for bu$h too.
It just fits the profile.
