Your kid needs to learn discipline at home not in a place of business.

If you really want your kid to learn discipline in public do it at a playground or at chunky cheese not at a reputable comic book store.

Thanks, I'll remember that. After raising two of my own who may have had occasional public meltdowns when they were toddlers but never gave me problems through school or the teen years and both are responsible adults with good choices and good careers, I guess I did something wrong. We made the mistake of taking the child into a crowded, loud comic book store for a hot dog during a crowded Earth Day celebration, where he started crying while we were in line and it aggravated the guy behind the counter. I will never do that again. Very bad parenting skills on my part. Report me to the hot dog establishment police.

trust me your crying kid was aggravating more than just the guy behind the counter. he was just the only one who confronted you about it.

News flash...know body wants to or enjoys hearing your kid crying in public. Your kid crying inside the store is detracting from the experience other patrons of the store paid for.

Don't bother. You committed the cardinal sin of admitting that you and/or your child might be less than perfect. From here on out, you'll probably just get recommendations that you take the child out in the woods and abandon it.

Well..I am babysitting him today. He wouldn't listen to me so I put him in time out for 2 hours plus I beat his a$$. For additional punishment, he's not getting his hot dog for lunch. Am I doing better?

Does this include you reading the comic book for free and putting it back when you were finished???

 

[MrZ06]

usually I read the first couple pages and if the comic is good I buy it and stash it in my shed so dumb sumb can't find it. I am very carefull with the comics and never bend a corner or damage them in any way.

I do the same thing at giant when I buy a magazine. I skim through several of them before decideing which one to buy.

You actually have to hide your comic books from your wife?

Went to the square today for Earth Day. The grand baby got hungry so we went in Larry's for a hot dog and ice cream. Waiting in line the grand baby started having the usual meltdown toddlers have. He was in the stroller and not running around. So we're waiting and the guy behind the counter says "I wish they wouldn't bring their screaming babies in here". Now this wasn't some kid, this was an adult obviously in charge. If this was a restaurant, one of us would have taken him outside. I was pi$$ed. No matter how feel, you don't make comments like that when your customers can hear you. They lost a sale today.

Shoulda just looked at him and said, "I know, right?" He wants to be a prick, you can be a smart-a**. :shrug:

Most guys hide porn, women on the side, etc..

this guy hides Archie and Spiderman!!!

 

[retiredweaxman]

If I read it in the store I don't have to pay for it. If I bought it and brought it home my dumb wife would call me a looser and make fun of me for reading comic books.

So, which one is it??? The 1st post is from yesterday and the 2nd from today.

It doesn't sound like you read the first 2 pages then decide if you want to buy it...sounds like you are trying to cover up the fact that you can fully read a comic book, put it back, not pay for it and rip off the store owner (which I called you out on yesterday and you refuse to talk about)....

He can only read the whole thing if there isn't a crying tot in there disturbing him.

I do both. Sometimes I will read the entire comic book in the store and roll out. With that being said I do purchase comic books to. I have a very nice comic book collection of my own.

I don;t have to. I just prefer to keep them in the shed and tell my wife that I am going out to work on the lawn mower so I can read them in peace.

Maybe these two are onto something. No crying or fussing!

Nobody is saying their kid is perfect. However, just because you (figuratively) think your screaming brat is cute doesn't mean anyone else does. And I can tell you that if we were in a line for ice cream and one of my kids had started having a fit, that would have been the end of the ice cream.

"Clearly you don't need any sugar right now, considering you're already ramped up. Let's go."

Yeah, I know. I think the point that I am (very ineffectively) trying to make is that a lot of the responders to this thread took the opportunity to ##### about kids rather than getting the real point of the OP: It's pretty damned surprising that someone with a service-type job of scooping ice cream complained out loud about a customer.

At least that's how I took it. Mitzi can correct me if I misinterpreted.

And FWIW, my boy shared some of his ice cream and it was very good.

I really wish someone would open up a kid friendly place to eat with great adult food. That way all the complainers wont ever have to hear a kid scream or cry again...
