Annoying kids in public places

Uncontrolled children in public

Annoying kids that misbehave

Now, I'm not against children enjoying themselves. I love to see them having fun. I just think that they should be controlled more by their parent/s so as not to upset or annoy others.



I'm fed up with frequently being confronted by uncontrolled children in public places. Weekly visits to the supermarket are now just as much about avoiding the sliding child that whizzes past the end of an aisle just as you emerge.

12-6-2008Oh dear, the amount of little children roaming about the streets now a days is utterly frightning. They all have their hoods up which make them look seemingly scary and silly. They start swearing their little mouths off. Half of the time I simply do not know what their parents would say if they saw ...more63yearoldgranny
25-2-2008I totally agree with Old Git and other sensible parents out there. I also wanna say that a childs age has nothing to do with them acting like a frickin wild animal!! 2 yr olds should NOT have the right to act crazy in public (or behind closed doors) as well as an older child. The animalistic "...moreHart2Hart

07-9-2007You are definitely not an old sod or anything else. In fact, you just might be put on my list of heros. We definitely have to start standing up for our rights.Zara
28-7-2007I hate little kids in restaurants when they are screaming there heads of and disturbing you when eating. my view is that little noisy kids should be ejected out of restaurants when you are eating they are sooooo annoying. I really hate thempunk rock rules
22-7-2007Re kids running around and misbehaving in supermarkets, I find that standing on their fingers whilst they are rolling around the floor tends to have them up and back to their useless parents in no time! I am, by the way not a child hater but a mother of three and never allowed mine to behave inappr...moreDismayed
13-7-2007I absolutely agree. I believe it is completely ridiculous how people allow their children to run amuck in public. The last four times I've traveled I've encountered children screaming like little banshies and hitting their parents. Children aren't perfect and I understand that they...moreAmericangirl
03-7-2007It's funny isn't it how when a woman proves a man to be in the wrong you very very rarely get an apology! Are you sure you're not my husband in disguise Martin?Nikki
22-6-2007No Martin, it was you actually. And no, I am not trying to be clever by posting my thoughts all over the website, as you so nicely put it - I'm not clever, I'm your average punter who happens to be heavily into horses, dogs and the countryside. I am a very strong believer in people's...moreNikki
22-6-2007Why not try to be clever? Surely thats what you are trying to do by posting your thoughts all over this website. Are you saying we couldnt possibly be up to your level of intelligence? Your the one who brought horses into this not me! Maybe you should stick to the topic rather than go off topic e...moreMartin W
21-6-2007Don't try and be clever with me, I know very well what bridleways are, unfortunately though they are not exclusively for horse use, we have to share them with walkers, cyclists and sometimes motorbikers - the latter illegally. Stick to the subject - which is uncontrolled CHILDREN in public, N...moreNikki
