[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think the examples posted by the OP were all that bad...I try to give my kids leeway to be kids, in line with the handsoff way I was raised in the 80s, as much as possible as long as they aren’t hurting themselves or others, or messing things up or interrupting. When they start doing one of those things, I am extremely firm and shut it down.

I’m seeing complaints that “kids are wild and no one is paying attention” vs “kids these days are too helicoptered and they can’t function without their parents holding their hand.”

I’m trying to avoid the latter more than the former. [/quote]

You don’t think it’s an issue for a child to hit adults with a shoe.  Then dad laughs instead of managing the behavior?[/quote]

It depends on the context. [b]If you’re talking about an event with lots of families, a little kid bopping people with a shoe won’t get much response. The other parents are used to it and just don’t care. [/b]If it’s like a retirement party or a fancier affair, then yeah, not appropriate. [/quote]

Not any family event I’ve ever been to! What are you talking about.[/quote]

Wtf? What does this even mean, a kid hitting adults with a shoe? All I can imagine is a kid picks up a shoe and is wandering around tapping someone on the leg with it. I don’t even get it.

If you haven’t been to a family party where kids are acting like weirdos and the grown ups just roll with it, I’m sorry to hear that. [/quote]

The bottoms of shoes are disgusting. There is a reason people don’t wear them in the house. You think it’s fine for a kid to pick one up and touch other people with it!!!? I’d grab that shoe so fast from your kid, out it up out of reach. At least then one of us would be parenting your kid.[/quote]
