in Breast Cancer #1

Went with my sons to the Aquarium (newer exhibit here) yesterday.  We had been planning it for a long time but usually Infelt like not so good. Decided to go anyway!  Now tell me, these parents bring their kids 2-7 was about the number of kids, they don't watch them the kids are screaming, one mother was screaming at about an6 yr old to gofinf the other 3, she had a newborn and about it a 14month old.  

The shark exhibit instructor was trying to do her education thing, kids are on the platform where she is talking,mothers are talking to each other, yes their kids were out of control they had no clue!  Do they really think that all of us who paid full price to go to this exhibit go to watch their kids?  They may be cute to them butnot to the rest of the patrons.  I asked one of the workers if we came on a bad day?  She said no, that a bunch of families will come together and they just let the kids run, then when they fall or run into people some go so far as to blame them so they have cameras everywhere.  Has stopped lawsuits.

if you want kids, then raise and take care of them!  It was expensive for an hour.  I know I have less patience as I have also moved tables in restaurants when kids in booths behind me have put their hands on  my head.  I don't pay to go to dinner to have parents thinking it is utento have their kids inning around me!

Wath your kids or leave them home.  It's not the kids fault!

sorry for the rant

from me with no patience!

    I hear ya

    Right now here there are restaurants that are starting to ban children.  While many are furious, many are fine with it. My experience...we took care of our kids in public but it seems that has degraded.

    Don't know what to say except perhaps it is a good thing we probably won't be around to see these hooligans as adults.  Oh Universe help us!

    Love ya Ninja! So glad you made yourself go. THAT is the best part. To have something besides ourselves to **** about! Ain't that a truth?!?!?!?

    I am not a kid person

    Luyckily my son was born an adult. Even as a bay people called him "The Judge" and we took him everywhere and he was easy or we dealt with it.

     I think it is more of the trend of a lack of respect for everyone even themselves. So be a hellion till someone stops you.

    Funny, I can see those values his mom imprinted even on my biker guy!

    It's not luck

    My kids have always been a joy to be around. They know how to behave themselves and always knew where running and screaming were allowed. I don't think we just got lucky. If you spend time talking to your kids as adults, they grow up calmly. Most parents need to spend more time talking and less time texting.
