 Quote From: kat200 Madeline and David might want to take a glance at Cops and Jerry Springer because Isabella will more than likely be appearing on them in the future if they don't start disciplining. Parenting starts from birth--you are two years behind! In the meantime, please don't set foot in my classy hometown of Atlanta where we know etiquette.
There is no excuse for bringing kids under the age of about 5-6 to nicer restaurants, theater, graduations, upscale weddings, etc. The paper actually ran a column about a woman who was kicked out of a restaurant by the manager due to her child shrieking. There should be more people like him and more places need rules banning kids under 5. A few weeks ago, I witnessed a little girl being allowed to run around and crawl on the restaurant floor! She also came up to our table often and the parents pretty much ignored her even after I gave them the "Look." There is such a concept called RESPECT. Parents have no right to impose their shrieking children on others and a disability is no excuse. Your kids are still an embarassment to society and need discipline. How else are they going to function in the real world if they are still acting up with the so-called ADD excuse at 20?!
Also, for those of you who have boys, how are you going to feel when you receive a call from the parents of future girlfriends telling you that your son has horrible manners and etiquette? That's something to think about if you want them to find a decent spouse.
Wake up, we don't think it's cute and we are sick of it! To quote Gone With the Wind, my reponse to all of these excuses we hear from parents today: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." Please, you know by looking at a 2 year old she is gonna be in trouble with the law? that is a little extreme don't ya think?
being first time parents maybe they needed some direction and were not sure how to handle the situation. it is very scary when you are winging it the first time. babies don't come with directions.
disability is not an excuse, it is a legitimate reason and by 20 i would think they have learned how to control some of these out bursts! how dare you call any child an embarrasment to society! obviously you have never had to deal with mental illness and well god hope you never have to. if you have a medical degree than tell me it is a so called excuse!
you have no right to put your opinionated ideas on everyone else.
my brother got married 2 years ago and believe me it was a very upscale wedding, he had allot of politicians and very important people there. i offered to leave the kids at home and him and his wife to be would not hear of it, they were kids and they wanted them to be there. so shame on you.
so what you are saying is in Altlanta no one ever suffers from mental illness? wow you guys are very lucky! tell us what you do that the rest of the world isn't! so we can follow suit of perfect Atlanta! |

Wake up, we don't think it's cute and we are sick of it! To quote Gone With the Wind, my reponse to all of these excuses we hear from parents today: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." I'll be perfectly honest, I cannot stand children and I never want to have them. HOWEVER, some people's children are perfectly well behaved and those children don't really bother me. I'll have you know that my parents were taking me to very expensive restaurants when I was 9 months old, and movie theaters by the age of 2 and people constantly approached my mother to commend what a "well behaved baby" I was. And I know a few other children that are perfectly well behaved in public too. Upbringing is the key.
Conversely, I know plenty of spoiled little brats that I'd take it upon myself to smack if it weren't so frowned upon (I'm sorry to say that one of them is my own Godson). That again falls on the parents. I agree that it isn't "cute" just because they're knee-high to a snowman, and I don't believe everyone else should have to look out for people's children because they're too preoccupied to watch them theirselves, but that doesn't mean you should get pissed off at every parent and child in America. There ARE still responsible parents out there.
Furthermore, I'd like to point out that your comment on mental illness is completely ignorant. I've suffered from serious eating disorders and major depression for almost exactly 50% of my life (in about 2 months it'll be dead on 10 years -I'll be 20 in 1 month) and I'm sure everybody would agree that those are mental illnesses. Still, I'm a functioning member of society staying on the Dean's List at my University, working almost full-time to put myself through school, raising my younger sister on my own, financially supporting a show horse, volunteering for several Democratic campaigns, and I'm a 4-H leader. So I take it very PERSONALLY when you belittle those with mental illness. I know people who are 20+ with ADD who are perfectly normal aside from the fact that they have a little more trouble absorbing information. Mental illness isn't fun. It's not something that people aspire to. And it's beyond an individual's control. You really shouldn't speak about topics you know nothing about. Appearantly people don't posess a lot of social graces in perfect Atlanta now, do they? |

Are you serious? Does anyone in your family have any type of illness? Cancer, Diabetes, alleriges? Anything? If so next time you see them, ask yourself what you would say if someone told you not to bring them to a public place because it is an embarrassment to the rest of us.
I have a cousin who lives in Savannah, he has a siezure disorder, which presents itself in the form of seizures, mood swings, rages, etc. So don't tell me that Atlanta is so classy people like that don't live there. My cousin has smashed the windows out of his mothers living room, during a seizure. Do you think people who have a mental illness want it or even ask for it??
Just because God graced your parents with such a "PERFECT" child as yourself doesn't mean the rest of us should suffer from your ignorance and stupidity. Please don't step foot in my down to Earth, very Real town in Michigan, I wouldn't want to be embarrassed by your presence. |
