Control your BLEEPING kids!

Just felt the need to rant about this.

I went out to a nice dinner with my mother yesterday. We sat down at our booth and began snacking on our appetizers. Behind me there was a little kid, about three years old, who kept leaning across the booth and over the top of me. I decided to ignore it as best I could. (Which is hard for me, as I really dislike kids.) The kid kept jumping up and down, then started coughing ON ME. Like.. to the point I could literally feel it hitting my neck. My mother thought this was funny and decided to wave and smile at the kid. The kid just laughed and laughed and then reached over and jerked on the hood of my shirt as hard as she could! The mother, who didn't even apologize for this, swatted her kids hand and told her to sit down and did nothing else. I was completely blown away! My parents would have beaten me so bad I couldn't sit for a week if I did something like that.

A similar thing happened when my fiance and I were out having dinner. The kid in the booth behind him kept leaning over and poking him, while the parents ate their dinner and smiled at the kid. Eventually the kid took a fork and (Im not kidding.) jabbed it into my fiances ear. The family just said "oh sorry! He's curious!"

That also reminds me of all the times I watched parents allow their kids to punch and kick people in costumes. Or parents who just let their kids climb on other people like a playground. Or run wild in stores... It makes me so mad.

Ive seen kids throw tantrums roughly this bad.

Do people just assume everyone loves their kids or something? Do they think everything the child does is just SO CUTE AND INNOCENT? Do they not consider what other people think about this? What if someone eventually snaps and screams at (or worse, hits) someone elses kid because no one will make the kid leave them alone?

Edit; HTML and I do not get along.

Kids can make me go completely ape poop; I freaking hate them -.-;<br /> And seriously, is teaching manners dead in this world!?
This is why at 30 years old, I have no children and also why I sometimes pause to wonder why we make people leash and muzzle their dogs, but not their children. Most 2 year old dogs I know are much more well behaved then most 2 year old children I come into contact with. <br /> <br /> Screaming, wandering into my personal space, punching, kicking, biting, cursing, it makes me wonder, are some children actually possessed kiddies and we just ignore it because it happens to all of them? LOL.
my mom woulda dragged me outta that building and smacked me around so fast if I did that as a kid
ugh i know the feeling. my sister's friend has a two year old and she slaps others, curses, and everyone just laughs like its funny and doing nothing to stop the habits. My family is doing our best to make sure my nephew dosn't end up anyway like that. he's almost a year and a very smart baby. hopefully he'll learn manners quick. i will defiantly make sure of it.
When I was a kid and acted up, I either got a smack on the bum or if it was in a supermarket, my mother would just leave everything and march me out of the store.
This is why I no longer shop at WalMart. Whenever my family and I go shopping, we tend to split up, and when I'm walking around looking for food (or for my family), there is ALWAYS a family with like 5 kids, and either one, or all of them are screaming... for no reason. And whenever I go out to a restaurant, there's also ALWAYS a screaming kid, which irritates me, but everyone else around me either ignores it, or thinks it's cute.<br /> <br /> This has gotten so bad, I now refuse to have children. If I do ever have kids, they'll be adopted, and above age 5.
They probably would. If it's disrupting other people's meals and making visiting the place unenjoyable/having a negative impact on business, they'll get rid of the problem real quick
I wonder if they would ask them to leave. :/ I see this sort of stuff happening so much anymore. I wonder why?
I would speak to the manager and tell them that someone can't control their kid. I'm trying to enjoy a meal without having some kid jam a fork in my ear.
