parents who don't control their children in public

    This is more of a rant than anything, but the other day at work I had a case of this that annoyed me more than usual. There was a woman with I am guessing a 5 or 6 year old son. She had stopped to talk to someone(I assume a friend). Her son decided that he would make his way over to the balloon cage and play with the balloons. Now this is something that kids do every day and normally isn't a problem. However, this kid decided to take every balloon(20 or more) out of the cage and release them on the ceiling. The mother sat there watching him do this and said absolutely nothing. To make matters worse he had tugged on some of them so hard that the strings came off and we had to grab ladders to remove them all from the ceiling. None of my coworkers were able to go over and tell him to stop because of how busy we were at the time, but this lady still should have put a stop to this instead of letting her son think this is an acceptable thing to do.

    this really does annoy me to no end. a kid opened his car door next to mine and it dinted the side of my car which his mother clearly saw, she just said nothing and walked off. shame some people are like that.
     
    Man, that sounds like a lot of unnecessary work simply because the mother has no control :< And at work you cannot say anything right?
     
    My cousins one time at a restaurant took ketchup and mustard and played finger paints with the windows. Their parents didn't stop them because they didn't want to stifle their creativity.
    I think children need to pass a behavior test before being able to go in public. And parents should care more about how their children act.

    Yeah we are allowed to say something if they are destroying any part of the store, but we were so tied up at the time and no one could get over there before the damage was done

    Yeah I came here to say something like "we can't blame parents if we don't have kids because we don't know and don't always blame the mother and blablabla"

    It's not like the kid was creaming and stuff, it's a physical action that you can just tak the hand of the kid, warning him to be careful etc.


    I once saw a mother, when I was volunteering for some game with kids, long story short but I had a false gun with small balls (kinda shoot the duck game). This kid was helping me with the ball, she was taking then on the ground and giving them to me. The mother made her stop (not kindly) and told her (again, not kindly) to not bother with that as it was my job. This woman, in front of me, was teaching her daughter to not being helpful and caring. This day I saw too many kids XD Some I don't want, and some parents I don't want neither...
     
    Yesterday some guy came in with a 4-year old girl and she just started picking up everything she could reach and the parent was making these half-hearted attempts to stop her. "Honey, put that down" in a bored voice without even looking at her. She even took a pencil sharpener with her when they left and the dad didn't notice or anything.
     
    I don't think it's a problem with "control", as much as it is with discipline. If those parents actually taught their children to behave, they wouldn't have misbehaved in public.

    But to be honest, I think we've all done something similar when we were children. -w-
     
    Parents are both much stronger and significantly more intelligent than kids. AND they have nine months to prepare by reading parenting books and talking to other parents. If the pregnancy was planned, then they probably had longer than even that. And if the child is like 2, you have had well over 2 years to learn how to control children.

    I understand parenting is difficult and they have jobs that take up time, but screaming children hurt my ears.
     
    i think spanking your child needs to be relooked at and not be considered abuse as long as you only using your hand but anything else its abuse that may stop the problems we have in todays society with misbehaving kids and teens they need to feel the fear of being punished if they misbehave
