[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is wrong with people is that some of them think the world revolves around their uncontrolled child.

Don't want to listen to Lil Jon screaming cuss words? That's exactly how I feel about listening to even 1 second of Baby Shark.

Take. Your. Kid. Outside.[/quote]

Uh no. I have zero problems whipping out my phone and playing a video for my kid in a pinch. My kid has as much of a right to be in a waiting room as you. Don’t like it? You leave.  Kids exist in the same spaces as you.  Get used to it.  And your Lil John initimidation tactics are hilariously stupid. I almost have more respect for the person who suggested the pornography.

What would be the major problem with using headphones, though? Nobody cares what your kid is watching, they just don't want to hear it. Seriously, you can get volume limited toddler headphones for like $12 from every Wal-Mart/Target everywhere.  Stick them in your bag and when your kid 'needs' a video, pull them out. [/quote]

Better yet, learn to parent your child like the multitudes of generations that came before you.  Don't be such a lazy, entitled, ass.[/quote]

If we are in a waiting room- whether my kid is watching a screen or I am reading him a book or my kid is being fussy... I DO NOT care about you.  Not at all. If you cannot handle a noise in a public environment like that, you are the one with the problem.  I would never take my kid outside unless there they were being a serious disruption. [/quote]
A toddler throwing a fit and needing to watch a video/play a game at full volume is a serious disruption. It will get you escorted out of a decent number of places. [/quote]

Did I say “throwing a fit”? “Full volume”? That’s just hyperbole. Is anyone really watching videos with the volume up to 10? Really? You use hyperbole because you need to exaggerate normal situations to justify your inability to deal with basic life scenarios. [/quote]

Seriously.  Somehow we went from a parent reading a child a book in a doctors waiting room to blaring videos at full volume in the middle of a nice restaurant.  [/quote]
Nope. This thread started with tablets and phones without headphones and a bunch of entitled parents want to make all kinds of arguments about why they just can't take little Johhny out without his videos, but somehow it is impossible to also bring headphones. No books anywhere.[/quote]

Several people said they find reading a book out loud just as obnoxious as watching a video.  The poster above said “watching a screen or reading a book.”  People just want to hate on [b]lazy, bad [/b]parents.    [/quote]
