[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally agree. It's like being held hostage -- parents won't say anything and YOU'RE not allowed to say anything to THEIR precious kids, either.[/quote]
True, but one of the advantages of being/appearing very old is that you can stop giving a damn and start scaring the bratty kids! What are they gonna do really? [/quote]
+1 I met someone recently at a planning meeting at my home who had needed to bring her 3 1/2 year old. It was informal, he entertained himself with some activities she brought, it was fine ... until it was time to leave. Kid didn't want to go, mom is negotiating. Kid starts throwing things, mom is telling him that's not how we handle toys. Kid head butts me hard in the legs, mom tells him that's not nice. Kid get evil look, whirls around, grabs a completed lego off my shelf, and throws it to the ground. Mom is still negotiating from 6 feet away. Just as he winds up to do a full sweep of the shelf into my face, I grabbed his hands. Mom finally comes to get him saying how hard it is to control kids, excuse, excuse. I'm just thinking - no it's not, just pick him the f0ck up! You are three times his size and handle horses. Good grief!

Saw him again in a couple different settings after this, and he would randomly walk up to adults and hit them or punch them. [b]She seemed to think this was normal. [/b]Yikes.[/quote]

This is a problem in and of itself. This kind of behavior has become normalized and so parents think it's normal since they see other kids doing it too and they see that the parents don't handle the situation so they don't think they have to either. Just excuse after excuse. [/quote]
