Next step: advertise the fact that they are now brat and helicopter mother free. That'd draw a crowd for sure
My dad used to call the board, "the Board of Education"
Oh by the way you have FRMail
If you hate your children do not discipline them..
This restaruant is an ideal place for parents to take their kids...it will help parents to teach their children respect for others and that they do not have a right to act like wild animals in public...
If the parents canno't make their children 'mind' in public the restaurant provides the perfect 'authority' for parents to appeal to...
You can't yell and scream or run around wildly...because those are the rules here...if you insist you will be told to leave..
Perfect lesson for kids and parents.
imo
Yes by all means give sweets to a child who is behaving badly. If you want to give hime more energy to reinforce that behavior, that is.
I find that a varying grip just below the ears works better though. By now, usually all I have to do is place my hand on my sons shoulders or neck, and he comes into line. There is no substitute for firm consistent discilpine.
The guy should counter the woman's boycott giving a special treat to every child who behaves and uses their indoor voice.
Hey Everyone!!!
I live in Chicago and that is a predominantly lesbian community which left of San Fran.....draw your own conclusions.
Just another mother refusing to see what monsters she's raising.
There was a mother who brought 4-5 of her "acting out" offspring to my local library. I've never seen anything like it. She was palpably angry - I always had the feeling her goal was to literally inflict her children on the world in general. Their behavior was the same at the supermarket.
Reads as though she prefers a Taste of Hell to a Taste of Heaven.
"Heck, the butt for a board, the board for a butt."
People used to walk up to our table at restaurants when I was a kid an comment on how well behaved my brother and I were. Substitue "board" for "belt" and you'll know why. ;)
My Mom made a habit of pointing out other misbehaving kids and say, "If I ever see you acting like that..." The point was taken.
That was hilarious
That's hysterical. My freeper name stems from what all children in my neck of the woods call me - Cruella DeVille. Not that I kill puppies or anything, just scare them into behaving with mere look.
And he's not going to have kids anytime soon, as anyone who has seen the video of this guy can attest. He's about as gay as they come. Not exactly a pro-family kind of guy (I'm sure he whines about "breeders" in private).
cool! do you have that wild two-toned hair too? ; )
Then take your little brats there, you stoopid cows, and leave the folks at "A Taste of Heaven" in peace!
There is nothing 'pro-family' about accepting or encouraging out of control behavior and manners from children.
The little 'Dears' just need their bottoms warmed.
Echoing your tagline, I'd say her 'veneer of civilization' wasn't glued well.
As my father used to remind me, "children should be seen and not heard".
I'm sick of people's obnoxious, out of control, undisciplined trophy brats.
It's not like having a child is a really big, unique accomplishment. Guess what parents, there are billions of them in the world and they're not all "special".
It's bad enough with the continual din and racket of "music" in these places.
When's the last time you were in a quiet place?
I've never had anything like this occur in my presence, but your comment has given me an idea.
If I am ever subject to something of this nature, I'll look the mother square in the eye and tell her that if she doesn't take control of the situation immediately, I'll report her to Child Protective Services and let the State take responsibility for her vermin.
