Sometimes I wonder if I really want kids.

[Bernard_Monsha]

Think of the beets! (http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/22078353.html)

[CrossboneGundam]

What would make you want kids in the first place?

That's pretty nauseating, at any rate. Part of that nausea might be the thought of an aisle full of beets to smash.

[Soluzar]

I figured you already had kids, from some of the comments you've made. That kid does sound like a little jerk, but it's his mother I blame. She's reasoning with him, when she should be physically restraining him. Some people don't believe in hitting a child, but what about just stopping him from smashing **** by grabbing his arm or something? That would be fine, I think.

[Dr. Ezra]

"Stop that and we can go to Dairy Queen."

This is why I blame his mother.

What a great story. One of the reasons why back when I was just a child, myself, I made a vow to never have children of my own.

[HSaabedra]

For anyone that works retail and foodservice this is normal. That mother needs to be forcibly sterilized and that child needs to be smacked. upside the head. That's the same kind of new age parenting that led to this generation of camskanks and lazy kids with no direction. You don't reason with little kids you punish them and tell them why they got punished so they won't do it again.

[Sendo Takeshi]

I noticed that certain words are getting linked on their own. I would imagine that's the software combined with the corporate aspect of AN forming Voltron: Defender of the Checkout Stand.

Anyway, I'd like to have kids. Two at most, and then I get to watch my wife tie those tubes. If she doesn't, she'll catch a swift roundhouse to the stomache. I always found it necessary to plant your seed in the world. Lord knows what will happen in the future and you just want to be sure that at least one of your future decendents will be ruler of this world.

I'll still beat my kids for whatever stupid nonsense they get themselves into.

[Bernard_Monsha]

Peopleing Thailand, Mexico, Japan and the Philipines with little Bernard's does not count.

[Suki]

And this is why I don't want kids.

[dothacker5]

I'm not for child abuse but I would beat the **** out of him and hang him upside down!

[max payne]

And this is why I don't want kids.

Because all the children in the world are exactly like that one <_<. Sometimes I think people forget they were children. There's a difference between a spoilt brat and a regular child.

[CrossboneGundam]

There's a difference between a spoilt brat and a regular child.

And that difference is discipline. :P

[Scandiadream]

Some of my HS classmates are discussing the baby food they give their kids. One has a five year old daughter. A few others are pregnant.

I work as a librarian for kids and teens, have 4 pet mice and 2 goldfish, and have 9 dolls. That will have to do for me.

[Animematt55]

Wow.
I would of probably restrained the little punk myself in that situation.

[Haro!]

I thought we were going to have children Ezra...

Anyway, what a lousy kid. You should be allowed to abort your kids at that age as well...

[LadyNepenthe]

...that lady is a moron. and if that kid were mine, i'd have wipped out the belt on his sorry butt. I am going to have kids, eventuallly someday down the line, and i am not afraid to give those kids dicipline. thats the problem with kids these days, you smack a kid on the f-in' hand, and its child abuse.
WTF!?

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...nothing like a good smack upside yo' head to clear things up.

REMEMBER SON... I'M THE MOMMY.

(smack)

respect my authority.

[Nano]

I still don't want kids.

I don't want kids, not that I'd be a crappy Dad or hate looking after them, I wouldn't! But I think of it like this, I've found a girl I love enough to have kids with, do I really want something to distract her attention away from me? If I believe in soul mates, and that they complete each other, then who needs a kid?

Sorry that's just my opinion on it, to each his own.

[MonkeyBoy0314]

To think that I actually wanted kids...

[sasami-riyo]

I want kids some day...just remember...discipline is our friend...

[guyverfanboy]

That lady is a moron. She needs to discipline not be an enabler. >_<

[KyouryokuSenshi]

God, what a nutcase. I used to work at a grocery store and it was pure crap. The mother obviously does not know how dish out a good dose of discipline. If that were me, I would have been smacked and taken to the car. I was always taught to respect your elders and unfortunately most parents these days fail to make that clear. I've always hated parents who let their kids get away with murder.

[Old Ape Face]

the day I stepped in as a courtesy Clerk for my local Price Chopper (grocery store bigger then Shaws found only in southern parts of New England and New York) , I automatically declared that I don't want kids.

The worse thing is my girlfriend wants 9 >_< I'll let her handle the food bill.

[DazzleKitty]

I would have been tempted to break a jar of beets on his head.

God, stories like that piss me off. How stupid can the parents get?

I've already decided I don't want kids. I've never liked them and don't find them to be cute or charming. They mainly annoy me.

[Yukito Kunisaki]

Someone will be in a loony hospital soon enough.

[Ikari Warrior]

if that were my kid, I'd have him by the collar of his shirt with a tanned hide so damned fast!

as CBG said, the difference is discipline. If he pissed me off enough, I'd break one of the jars of beets on HIS head...

...ok, not that extreme, I don't want to be convicted of child abuse. Still, stupid kids need some sense beaten into them if words aren't effective.

[Daishikaze]

Did y'all read the comments?

When some one said "I hope the store made her pay for the damages" The writer said "Yeah, she had to pay $70 in damages, She was angry and said "I don't know how you people can put a price on a child's laughter!" "

That right there tells you how screwed up that woman is.

[earsofdoom]

I think this is the kind of parent who will blame everything on GTA when the kid is older.

[SlackerDude]

This article reminds me of that french commercial where the kid goes nuts in the supermarket screaming "je veux la bonbon!!"


Use condoms!

Hey, so Price Chopper is out of state as well, then (from NY). You'll let her handle the food bill... and the child birth, right ;D I'll be generous and handle at least half of the child birth

Coincidently, this is also what she said as the child was stabbing her.


I don't let stories like these dissuade me, though. As discussed in another thread, there's no debating. When you have a child that acts like that there's no room to rationalize, they're a child, not a lawyer. You teach them in ways that get the point across, as well as letting them know what they did wrong so as they won't repeat it. For me, spankings worked wonders.

But to not have kids over stories like this? That seems a bit to be an easy way out. I'd love to have 20 children *cough* err, give or take a few (dozen). Actually, three or four sounds about good. I just have to find some volunteers

[Leader Desslock]

You know, if I were to behave like that child EVEN NOW, at my current age, my mother would beat seven kinds of hell out of me. I'm almost a foot taller, she's 73 and has rheumatoid arthritis - but she'd kick my ***, as any good mother should in that situation. AND THEN she'd make me clean up the mess and pay for it. With a kicked ***.

Parents raising feral children. Gods, I hate them.

[superplough]

I'd still have kids, but there's no way they'd ever do anything that retarded.

[Alice Catherine]

My dad would kick my ***. I knocked over a freakin pickle jar BY ACCIDENT one time and I got sent to my room for an entire weekend. No meals.

[tenshi_a]

Well at least they got the woman to pay $70 for the goods and cleaning...

But whether it was true justice? Oh I don't know. I think the grocery store people should have sent some professionally evil *laughing children* to that woman's house, let them rip down everything in it, destroy everything they could...

....oh wait, she probably runs a training camp for evil destructive laughing children. I was wondering where they all came from....

I wonder exactly how I was raised to believe 100% that you ought to treat stuff in shops with respect, since it's other people's stuff. I've been in shops where I've seen young adults take things off shelves and drop them. Concientiously just stood there, watched it fall from their hands. Nothing breakable, normally those strange fanboys you get in videogame shops. The box for a game they dislike, or whatever. But I still feel it's horribly wrong, just standing there in the shop, being present. That that person feels it's ok to mistreat things they don't own.

[Soluzar]

That that person feels it's ok to mistreat things they don't own.
They probably feel it is OK to mistreat things they do own as well. I've told you about that friend of mine, haven't I? He's never really had a game on disc that lasted beyond six months to a year, because he leaves his discs all over the floor. The boxes often go missing without trace. Everything he owns is horribly scratched.

The reason? He just gets tired of things really quickly. He tends to buy things, use them for a few months, and then move on to the next thing. That applies to consoles, games, and pretty much everything else except music. He doesn't need things to last. Most of us have been tought to treat our discs well because if we don't, they will stop working after a while. That's not a worry for him, because he will have moved onto something new.

I find his attitude bizarre, but at least he treats his own things with as little regard as those belonging to anyone else.

[tenshi_a]

That's different though... this person, and the kid, is *deliberately going out of their way* to damage things. If you said your friend took a Stanley Knife to every game / console he was bored with, I'd agree...

[Soluzar]

Sure, it's different, but it's not that different to the example of people who drop things they are done looking at, while browsing in stores. They just get bored of looking at that product, and move on.

[tenshi_a]

I don't think it was boredom, it was like the kid with the jars. The guy I saw was with a group of others who were actually looking at stuff, picked up a PS3 game and really obviously dropped it. Just to make it fall onto the floor, because that's where he wanted it to be. He made it seem like wasn't interested in it before he picked it up, it's not a boredom thing.

And he then left immediately afterwards. Coward.

It's also like the people who go into videogame stores and attack the NDS screens to see if they can break it or at least leave scratches. It's not so they can see whether they're resistant to scratches or abuse, it's so they can say "that thing's ****. I tried one in a shop once and in 2 minutes I'd already scratched it to ****".

It all makes me feel quite unhappy. These people with no respect for things in shops...

[Old Ape Face]

those first 15 years would be the death of me in a hart beat, after what i put my parents through i doubt i could handle my own kids.

[Old Ape Face]

Hey, so Price Chopper is out of state as well, then (from NY). You'll let her handle the food bill... and the child birth, right ;D I'll be generous and handle at least half of the child birth


>_< thing is she might enjoy the moment a little too much.

[KatayokuのTenshi]

Some of my HS classmates are discussing the baby food they give their kids. One has a five year old daughter. A few others are pregnant....That don't add up right... :unsure:

"I don't know how you people can put a price on a child's laughter!"Today it's $70... in ten years it will be bail money. I imagine she'll be quite suppressed to discover, if when her child grows up, he becomes a normal criminal. I imagine that she assumes that this is normal behaviour for a child and as a result he will act as a normal adult when he grows up.

I don't like the idea of hitting children, but I have no problem with stopping them from hitting other things.

I'll be generous and handle at least half of the child birth..what like a "You push, I'll pull" sort of thing? :unsure:

They probably feel it is OK to mistreat things they do own as well. I've told you about that friend of mine, haven't I? He's never really had a game on disc that lasted beyond six months to a year, because he leaves his discs all over the floor. The boxes often go missing without trace. Everything he owns is horribly scratched.I'll never be able to fathom people who do that, or people who break the spines on books.

[superplough]

I'll never be able to fathom people who do that, or people who break the spines on books.

Oh god QFT I HATE people who do that, it ruins the book, and they're all like "so its only a book" but most of the time it's MY book they're ruining (this especially applies to my brothers who once bent the cover of one of my DBZ mangas right in half). Nearly all of my books are ruined except the ones they haven't touched.

[Lord Dagoth]

I've always told myself that I'd leave it up to who ever I end up marrying (if I even do) if we have kids, but goddamn I hate kids.

Yeah, I used to work at Safeway and I've even seen adults drop things by accident and I always hated it when they just stood there and stared at the mess or just walk away. Their mother isn't there to clean up after them, at least go take responsibility and tell someone.

[Jetta]

I'm afriad to have kids , I see how todays kis are and I'm just not trilled...
Now you can get shot in school , kids disrespect thier parents so bad,
kids got sme excuses to why theydon't want to goto school ...
You can't spank them (not when thire little )..
always got some thuged out friends ....I think the list goes on for me :(

My boyfriend and I went to Olive Garden yesterday with a gift card I got for my graduation and this little kid ruined our dinner. Both of us sat together and tried to eat while this toddler across from us was jumping up and down picking at the walls and mainly sloped over the seat and staring at us most of our meal. It was rather irritating, my boyfriend and I were rather tempted to say something because it's 'Olive Garden' not 'Chuck e Cheese' which means you either tell your kid to turn around and sit down or do not bring them to restaurants! What irritated us the most was that they didn't tell their kid to stop and instead just let him do it and some of the time they just watched him do it. >_<

[Hara!]

Bernard, do us a favor and impregnate as many women as possible.

Not in any of the good rooms. Just my room. I give them my pillows to stand on but they STILL STAND ON my Chronicles of the 20th Century book because it's huge...
They also broke my Encyclopedia of the Presidents and then told me that I put it in the dryer.

[Shiroiyuki]

Not like these other people that carry their kids into estaurants and movie theaters and act like the kids aren´t there.

I recently encountered a situation similar to this one...not in any restaurant or movie theatre, but the retail store that I work in. A young mother brought in her SCREAMING kids (I'm thinking the little boy was 4 and the girl was 6, but I can't be sure), ditched them at the door, and proceeded to look at washers and dryers while they ran around the store raising havoc. I mean those little monsters where EVERYWHERE. On the tractors, pulling signs out of their holders and throwing them/ripping them apart on the floor, messing with the exercise equipment, running their nasty little hands on all the tv screens, throwing the remotes around the store, PULLING DOWN VACUUMS AND DRAGGING THEM AROUND THE STORE—ripping apart the manuals and seriously PISSING ME OFF to no end.

You know how much the mother cared? Not at all, even when I got pissed off enough (from all the screaming and terror going on around me) to go over to her and TELL HER TO CONTROL HER CHILDREN. I was polite (seriously, I was), but she looked at me like I was a ***** out of hell and then looked back at the washers and ignored me. I had had enough, my God. You wanna know what I did next? I went over to the tv's, called the kids over, and turned on the cartoon channel. I couldn't take it anymore. Those little kids were still misbehaving, so I actually scolded them a bit, said NO when they continued violating our products with their vile little peanut butter covered fingers, and made them sit down on the ground to watch Spongbob. The mother showed no interest whatsoever in any of it.

Oh, and the ***** never did buy a washer or a dryer from me. I had an entire store to clean after her little beast spawn got done with it she didn’t even care. Some people should NOT HAVE CHILDREN. GAH >_<.

[F Stop]

I want kids (or at least a kid), but not anytime soon. My best fried from college (we're the same age) has 2 kids already, and they are little hellions.

I wonder if suggesting retroactive abortions to mothers who don't give a damn about their little beasts would help prevent situations like these. I mean, I'd see where they might have an issue--but really, if you aren't going to raise your children correctly, why have children at all?

Get a goldfish instead. Less work, cheaper upkeep, and when they die you just flush them down the toilet. No fuss, no muss.



And you never have to experience the dreaded 'sex talk' that so many 'parents' avoid like the plague.

[Alice Catherine]

I hate it when there are little kids in the Harry Potter movies. I believe that the minimum age to see it should be 7 years old. Because when me and my dad and my friends went to see GoF, there were THREE YEAR OLDS in there. I was already pissed off that a child ticket was completely wasted on someone who isn't even potty trained instead of maybe a ten year old who read the books.
NO.
That was the beginning.
These little demons were apparently hell-bent on screwing up the movie for all of us.
First, the whole thing with the dragons came up, so the littlest one (maybe 2-3 years old) started SCREAMING IN TERROR. What was the mom doing? Chattering to her friends about how the movie had nothing to do with the book or whatever. Then, hearing the angry whispers, all of them started screaming because apparently they liked the noise of their little magpie voices.
Finally, I was the only one who mustered up the courage to go and politely tell the mother to please go control her kids.
I didn't make it that far. Oh, no. The eldest one (who may have been 6 and might have actually read the book) bent down and tugged my shoelaces apart. I tripped and landed in their mess. THEN the 4 year old takes his little kiddie tray and dumps it on me.
If my friend hadn't brought her clothes for our sleepover, I probably would have missed the rest of the movie.

THEN, I go back in there and tell the mother off, and she looks at me like "Oh, how dare you have the audacity to tell ME how to raise MY kids..."
Finally, the usher kicked the mother and her kids out after I told him.


After reminiscing that, I change my opinion. I don't think any kid under 7 should be allowed in a movie theater PERIOD.

[Chousho]

And you never have to experience the dreaded 'sex talk' that so many 'parents' avoid like the plague.
Yeah, well... when your mom is the science teacher at your school, it kind of.. uhh.. yeah. It's a bit uncomfortable.

As far as people saying they don't want kids because of how bad the kids they see are: that's due to poor parenting. Don't suck as a parent and you won't really have to worry about your kids being like that. Try, you know, being an active part in their life, and do what you're supposed to: train them up in how to be a responsible adult, help them grow, teach them how to do things for themself (ie: don't let them get lazy, or rely on you for everything), and make sure they're not brats.

Also, if they ever get out of hand, threaten them with retroactive abortion.

[goddessofanime]

Actually, I agree with Alice; no kid under 7 should be allowed in a theater...unless it's for a G-rated movie only.

I"ve had plenty of little kids ruin sh*t for me.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I actually saw Fantastic Four 2 yesterday and had an experience with a 5 year old in back of me. She kept kicking the seats and yelling. Then, towards the very end, when something happens to one of the members, she yells out "MOM! POTTY! I HAVE TO POTTY!" and I'm like

*hmm, plot build up*
*turning point in movie*
*5 year old suddenly screams*

OH WTF!

So I would say that no children under 8 should be allowed in a movie over G, I'm not sure why you said PG-13, as that's 13 years old, and that's not near an age like that.

I should have worded that better. Here's an explanation.

You see, they rated movies like my three examples because they're warning parents NOT to take their little kids to these movies. Because, you know, there are mature audiences that want to watch them.
When parents ignore these warnings, it negates any effect the rating is supposed to have in the first place.

I'd agree with you, but mainly the mom. It's not like the kids had any choice in how they were raised. The mother on the other hand had every oportunity to raise her kids well, and didn't. That was entirely her choice, and she's the one who is completely responsible for this mess.

CALL THE POLICE
One, yo were assulted, and there is destruction of property, and then someoen ewas assulted AGAIN.
That is a need for child protective services.

Those little kids were still misbehaving, so I actually scolded them a bit, said NO when they continued violating our products with their vile little peanut butter covered fingers, and made them sit down on the ground to watch Spongbob. The mother showed no interest whatsoever in any of it.
...Fuggin' Genius!

THEN, I go back in there and tell the mother off, and she looks at me like "Oh, how dare you have the audacity to tell ME how to raise MY kids..."She actualy put in the time to raise them did she? Well that was time well spent!

[KyouryokuSenshi]

I'd agree with you, but mainly the mom. It's not like the kids had any choice in how they were raised. The mother on the other hand had every oportunity to raise her kids well, and didn't. That was entirely her choice, and she's the one who is completely responsible for this mess.

If I were this person, I would look for another job. This is part of the reason I quit retail.

If this were to happen where I live, I would have dumped the damn ice cream on her head. Seriously. There are so many good jobs around here and we're a SMALL TOWN. I could risk quitting/getting fired. I'd quit before the manager fired me. That looks good, right?

... no.

Cool in practice, but real life doesn't work that way.

... no.

Really?

Ciiiripes! Those ones seemed even worst than the last one, people actually got hurt this time. And the fact the mother encouraged her little boy to hit other people is just wrong. Lousy parenting should be a crime, seriously.

[Soluzar]

Really?
Ever heard of a thing called a "reference"? :P

[Alice Catherine]

Nope.

Anyway...

Those heathens give us all a bad name. This is what makes Disney take all the good television off the air and replace it with mindnumbing ********.
They underestimate our intelligence.


Why, just fifteen minutes ago I was in the grocery store picking up some toaster strudels for my brother. A teacher of mine was in front of me at the self-checkout and apparently it was the only one working because this blonde little...ugh...came up behind me and started huffing and puffing. Reason? I actually gave my teacher a chance to bag her items before scanning. So this...ugh...taps my arm HARD and says:

"I don't know if you're blind or stupid but YOU CAN GO NOW."
So I turn around and I'm like.
"Well that would be rude, yes?"
SHE LOST HER **** LIKE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE. She starts cussing me out saying that she has to get back to her 3 and 5 year old that she left BY THEMSELVES in her house. And she, like, totally doesn't want them wrecking her **** clothes. Now, judging by the amount of items in the cart, I would say she had been there a fair amount of time, not to mention she lived driving distance. So I turned around, and I very politely said:
"Look, I was raised by a Southern debutante grandmother, an Irish New England Catholic mother, and an Italian great-grandmother. I don't know who raised you but they obviously didn't do a very good job because I don't believe they taught you either parenting skills nor manners. And if you think your little predicament leaving toddlers in a house by themselves is more important than manners, perhaps you should have taken them along."
Obviously, that probably wouldn't have been a good idea because she most likely spoils these kids rotten and they would have wrecked the store.

So she just huffed and said "Whatever, you brat." and went on her cellphone.

I'M the brat?

See, it's not all of us who are totally spoiled rotten. You may get lucky and have a kid like me.^_^

[Chousho]

Oh, how we can only dream.

I would've trained my child to take care of business Konata (http://randomc.animeblogger.net/image/Lucky%20Star/Lucky%20Star%20-%2001%20-%20Large%2021.jpg) style.

I would've waited, saved up some spit, and turned around looking at her while foaming at the mouth. Maybe cross an eye or two. Then spit out some phrase about "where's care giver? WHERE'S CARE GIVER?" And then bit her.

[Alice Catherine]

^That would be rude.

[Animematt55]

^That would be rude.

But funny =)

[Alice Catherine]

So? Rudeness shouldn't equal rudeness.

[Nano]

So? Rudeness shouldn't equal rudeness.And yet, it does.
