ugh. That "we don't hit" or "please don't hit mommy" "please stop yelling it is rude" stuff drives me bonkers. I can promise you my mom never said any of that..or even considered it. If I had so much as thought about hitting her my ass wouldda been on fire. Quick. And monster is gonna have to learn the same lesson. I hate bratty children in public and I have no wish to burden other people with my child. I know parents who actually think their children should come first in social situations..complaining about lack of crayons in a restaurant or thinking that other people should have to listen to their brat scream cuz "he/she is just a kid."
case and point. I went to the food auction a couple weeks ago..someone near me had a young child..probably 4 ish who was screaming/crying, opening a hundred diff snacks and leaving them everywhere and had to have mom or dad entertaining her at every second (I dont know if I would bring a kid that young there anyway, there isnt much for them to do and even the most well behaved child is gonna get antsy after 4 hours sitting) and across the aisle, the amish family that comes often has a whole row of children, all impeccably well behaved. So it isn't because they are "kids" it's cause someone needs to make them mind.
