[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]self-righteous uptight parents of young toddlers are extremely annoying. Older kids have different energy levels and disrespecting their personhood in the way that above psycho-mom prides herself for doing is worse than the annoying behavior.

Translation 
Inability to behave = different energy level

Discipline = disrespecting personhood [/quote]

LOL - my kids are very well-behaved and I don't bring inappropriate toys to the pool like waterguns.  That said, children are not monkeys, and when you are not able to get them to do what you want, grabbing their toys and throwing them over a fence or yelling at them turns you into the two-year-old.  If the water gun really bothers you and you really can't get them to stop, then you need to work on your parenting skills.

I've been able to speak to older kids misbehaving in a way that got their attention and got them to leave me and my kids alone.  I don't worry about what they are doing unless it is directly affecting me and my kids.  I don't waste enough energy on it to feel the need to come to DCUM and tell everyone about how BAD those OLDER kids are and how I am such a badass for meting out discipline that their parents don't have the balls to mete out.  Seriously - you got your applause, but I am sending you raspberries![/quote]

I don't remember saying anything about how bad these older kids were, or being a badass, or their parents' balls.

I think you have an axe to grind here.  [/quote]
