What bugs you the most about other people's children?

[MOB Karen]

Let us know what bothers you the most. :D

[MOB Karen]

This is mostly the parents fault, but I hate to go to an adult movie with kids there. It bothers me a lot. Or to an up-scale restaurant, and kids are screaming. It ruins your dinner. :bbconfused:

OK I dont usualy have a problem with others kids. But the girl who I have cut off as a friend during the planning of my wedding, her kids are another story. She has 4 ( well five now ) and from day one her kids have been horrible. If I had her daughter alone without the rest of them of without her mother around she was great. But her some was mean to my son. always taking things away from her and biting him. My son is very territorial ( sp?) now because of it. Thoe kids were always into something or doing somehting they know they shouldn't. But their mom was the same way. I am alot stress free now that they are not around. Granted my kids ask for her kids becuase they have known them since they were all born. These kids are just plain horrible and dont listen to any one. So I would have to vote for all of the above, that should have been a choice Karen lol.

But for others kids I cant realy poitn out one things that bugs me. All kids are different.

I agree, all of the above!

[WebLady]

Yeah, I'd have to say all of the above too!

I don't mind other ppl's kids when they are well mannered and behaved, at least in public.

I love my niece but even she gets on my nerves sometimes.

I say all of the above. I just don't have the patience for kids like I used to.

Everything. I just don't like children in general. But, 99% of the time that is the parent's fault not the child. The child is going to act like what they are until someone tells them differntly. What drives me crazy is when you are in an adult place (nice restuarant, ballet, opera, movie not made by Disney, high end store) and someone is in there with their kid who is running around, kicking seats, yelling, crying, throwing a fit, scattering toys, or partaking in any inappropriate behavior. I can't handle it. Today in Nine West there was a woman shopping for shoes while her toddler ran up and down the row of shelves picking up shoes and dropping them on the ground while screaming. Now this woman just sat there oblivious to the fact while waiting on her shoes to come out. Frankly, someone needed to bust the kid's bottom and then drive a stiletto through mom's hand to get her attention!

I have to say all of the above.
I like kids for the most part. But there are some really obnoxious kids out there. I can't stand going out to places where i know there are going to be alot of kids and i have things i need to do. The other night i went to Walmart and it was absolutly nuts! There was one woman who allowed her 2 year old to yell all the way through the store. Everytime i tried to duck off another way and ditch them they seemed to find me. Then she gave him a frickin m&m mini at the cash and he shook it like mad so i was blessed with him squacking about not being able to open it and squak ath the same time. Then there was a kid and his wheelies beging dragged arround the supermarket by his father. Mark and i have already agreed our kids will NEVER have those. I have been nearly run into soooo many times!

I'd have to say all of the above, and it's only when the parent's are truly not strong that I've seen this in children. I mean, not to say that good parents do not have moments where their children are unruly. Believe me, I understand that all kids act badly sometimes no matter how great of parents you are! But, the ones that bother me, are the one's where you can clearly see the parents trying to control, but nothing works, and then the parents just sit and deal with it, instead of removing the child from the environment and dealing with in a private (as much as possible) place.

You took the words right out of my mouth:D

When I go out in public it boggles my mind how some parents let their children act. I was at Walmart today and there were some parents who let their children climb the shelves... not only was that dangerous but there were a lot of people trying to shop in that aisle (school supplies) and the kids (i think there were 3) were acting as if it were their playground. I know that they are excited but my parents wouldnt have accepted that behavior from me and my sister.

[LizabethDavis]

It's usually not the children's fault...I hate it when the kids are misbehaving and the parent doesn't do anything about it except quietly say NO..As if the kid is going to listen to you..

Yeah I get annoyed with the kids but I think the parents make me even more annoyed. In Walmart the parents were actually encouraging that behavior... It just really annoyed me.

I cannot stand the destructive children. The other day I was in the post office and this lady was just letting her children practically tear the blinds down. An employee actually had to be the one to tell the children to stop. That's ridiculous.
