Precisely. My retort to the parents of unruly children is, “Children should never try to raise children. Are your parents available to help you?”
How DARE you! By questioning their handling of SnowFlake, you are threatening them! You probably voted against Our Towering Socialist Loving Warlord! Racist!
When they scream and wail, I mind. Otherwise, I don’t care.
As conservatives, I am guessing that is beyond the comprehension of any of us.
I don’t know which is worse, parents who can’t/won’t control their children or people who bring their pets into grocery stores and restaurants.
I consider both groups of people, pigs.

Bit of anti “breeder” in this story.
But point is valid. Some kids need less time out and more belt on butt.
Parents try to be friends with their kids rather than parents. Look at the 40 year old moms wrapped up in Twilight. Grow the heck up.
Ol' LZ is really racking up the prestigous awards, isn't he, for writing violence provoking crap such as this:
" And the reason why we're staring at you every other bite is not because we're acknowledging some sort of mutual understanding that kids will be kids but rather we want to kill you for letting your brat ruin our dinner."
So LZ is for spanking, just not in public? So spanking is 'child abuse' according to liberals, but they expect 'the look' to imply in public what parents have a duty to do in private?
Most child-haters I have encountered are seniors who ooze their hatred for them even when they are well-behaved. Such as when you show up at the pool with them in tow -- they haven't done anything and already they're puffing and grunting and rolling their eyes, as though their good time is spoiled (and they're going to let you know!). And I'm sure most never raised children, and went on to live the life of a narcissist.
To them my sentiment is, 'relax, they'll be paying your social security in a few years'.
I’m a cashier at a LARGE grocery/gen merchandise store (I won’t name it) and a mother was letting her child run amok. I had been standing there 6 hours already and over one hundren customers later watching this kid scream and throw fits. I finally got frustrated and asked the mother if she wanted a “plastic” bag for the kid. She got the meaning and glared at me while I smiled back at her. True story.
I’m surprised I didn’t get fired.
I agree with the author. It’s never good to have to deal with brats or their brat parents.
I have four kids. We were always too embarrassed to stay in the public place when our kids acted up. I never understood why other parents stayed..
Having raised six children, I can tell you this generation pretty much have ruined their children.
I didn't need to have the "look" or to clear my "throat" or even speak a word to get my children to behave in public.
After they were trained on how to behave in public, my wife and I fully expected them to behave. If they did misbehave it was dealt with at home later or in a private place and rarely happened again because it was clearly explained to them the "board of education" would teach them how to behave.
Today I will without hesitation tell a parent to get their simian under control or I will do it for them.
Yeah, I get looks of horror that I would embarrass them in front of their friends or family but they normally fix the problem
This relates to the “buddyfication” of parenting that is all around us.
Children are now the buddies of parents and are constantly being told “good job,buddy”.
There are no standards for what is an actual good job,yes I know it raises self esteem, but it has produced a generation of people who feel entitled even when they do a mediocre job at best.
When you see an unattended child, give them an espresso and a puppy. That’l learn the parents.
Just came from Target where a 6-7 year old was kicking the back heel of his dad as he pushed the shopping cart. All he would say was “stop that” or he would try avoiding the kicks that followed.
And we know you don't discipline them at home because you don't possess "the look." If you had "the look," you wouldn't need to say "sit down" a thousand times.
That's NOTHING but the plain truth. One look from either of my parents was more than enough for me and my brothers and sisters to pipe down. we KNEW there would be consequences...and they could involve my father's belt! Not something we looked forward to!
