[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I'll probably get flamed for this, but I have a small DD that rough kids will target, so I make them cry. I don't scream but I definitely raise my voice and reprimand them. Either they get it and back off, or their parents hate me so much that they keep their kid away from us. It's win-win for us either way.

I know it's harsh but I got so sick of clueless parents who can't be bothered to teach their kids how to behave. Kids aren't going to learn boundaries unless other people enforce them. [/quote]

I have absolutely zero tolerance for kids being dangerous with any of my kids, especially around heights or water. No hesitation whatsoever to raise my voice and tell them off pretty harshly. Let them remember it. Better if they run to tell their parents, I’m happy to give them a piece of my mind too. If your kid can’t be unsupervised without hurting people then they shouldn’t be unsupervised. Period. Even if other kids the same age are playing without supervision at that age.

And the parents aren’t clueless, they’re lazy. They aren’t willing to do the work to raise their kids that the rest of us do, and they think they can get away with it.[/quote]
