There is no kid free zone

If only backward people would stop thinking with their genitalia.

Problem solved if they did.

It wasn't an OTT article to me.

Quote: "Many of these parents have no idea how to behave in public themselves, so it's probably asking too much to expect them to understand that other people don't want noisy brats inflicted on them."

That's nailed the cause of the problem. Until the required groups of society take it upon themselves to improve how they integrate socially then this problem will continue to exist. However, here's the bad news - the most socially inept people in our society are the ones least likely to want to improve or to know how to. The desire and motivation to improve isn't there. The reward isn't high enough. Offer a poor parent ten thousand pounds to embark on a social integration programme and they'll bite your hand off. Offer them the satisfaction of becoming a better citizen in return for making a conscious effort not to conduct your daily life constantly annoying others and they'll probably tell you to 'f*** off'.

Balamorie. You need to get it though you effing thick scull m, noisy KIDS ARE VERY ANNOYING, But not to you, what are you gonna raise them that way,and no there not CHILDREN witch, THEIR effing KIDS. kIDS today need to be BANNED from public places, yours included. your probley one of those parents that allow them to disturb others, go eff yourself.

Yes Balamorie, echoing your opinion, I was sitting eating lunch the other today when some kids were around running amok and just came near me out of nowhere screeching and and trying to kick pigeons (why do they do that). They could be heard all over the road and the father was with them and did absolutely nothing except say "Come on". Blasted annoyances.

Any noise from anyone, very young or late teens mostly likely is very disturbing when you are just going about your normal routine and are subjected to it and on the likes of public transport you are basically stuck with it.

BALAMORIE- Wow, Your probley one of those Parents that lets your little TERDS, do what they want, I hate CHILDREN, they annoy thecrap out of me,We shouldnt have to suffer when a kid screams, I think kids should be banned in public places except MCD'S, They dont belong on planes either, running up and down the isles screaming, shut up already BRAT,tHEY SHOULD HAVE THEIR OWN PLANE AND I hope it crashes.

let kids let off steam! why are children blamed for everything, the more noise & running around the better.

and - to "a person with morals" please!! what a name choice.
In reply to what parents should do - stay home or leave the kid at home. I don't care how you do it - but do NOT interupt my rights to a pleasant quiet civil existance. What do you do - don't have them - leave them at home - raise a kid that knows how to shut up and stand still. Children are to quiet and still. It isn't rocket science. If you can't control them then leave them out of the public!!! Duh.

I agree with every single word you posted Andromeda! We non breeders should get together and be heard. I personnal stand my ground against the breeders and their brats. I speak up, I stare, I do what ever I have to so they understand that I am disgusted. Then I simply let them make an ass out of themselves in front of their "darling" responding to me. I ALSO video tape the entire act in case they breeder shows their true colors and respond stupidly, as they often do.

Well said, entirely agree, wish more people would speak up about this!

you were a kid once, just think about that! what shall all the parents do hmm?? keep their kids locked up 24/7? hitting children is not the answer at all. anyone advocating hitting children should be reported to the police for actively encouraging child abuse. I think you should learn tolerance of people because you obviously have a low tolerance threshold. sounds like you need therapy.

em111002 I think you need to take a parenting class... I am a mother and also work at a Day Care.. You would never find my kids acting that way and I don't smack them or scream at them.. All you have to do is set limits and follow through with them...
