AMEN! Thank you! Well said. When I taught preschool....4 year olds, mind you....we had parents who came in and told us that their child had never heard the word "no". We told them that they were going to hear it out of us....multiple reasons including safety issues. They would complain that they didn't want their child's self esteem ruined. Oh please.

I knew never to pull that sort of shit either. MAC_whore, did you fear your parents? Neither did I. I just knew that I had to behave. I was spanked once. I don't count whacks on the butt to get my attention. They were a little more frequent.

And a young, entitled and petulant adult who has never heard the word "no" doesn't have a hurt self esteem everyone tells them what assholes they are? Excuse my grammar (not the swearing) please.

The parents dont' see that as their problem. They are adults and parenting is over. (yeah I know)

Re: Airtran (I think) asks family to get off of plane after 3 year old throws a temper r

yeah. I agree many kids nowadays are a terror. Sometimes i help my mum out at her shop and kids come in jumping and running around like nobody's business..I would shake my head. Their parents don't even bother to stop them. The best part is they like to touch and touch and when they made a thing fall, they just run away without a single word of sorry.

I'm sorry...not that i don't like kids...but bad parenting has made me dislike kids with NO DISCIPLINE...

I remember when my brother and i was young, we didn't behave like that outside (i admit that i was a crybaby at home...but i was disciplined when i went out with my parents). If we misbehaved outside, we would get a scolding from our parents ...something like If u behave like that again next time no more outings for u.

I'm sick of seeing spoilt brats running wildly around with no restraint and with no consideration for other people at all. I believe in this saying "spare the rod, and you'll spoil the child". You have to spank/ cane the child when the child gets out of control to discipline the child with explanation of course. I got caned many times when i was a kid. Lol.... The parents are to be blamed for not disciplining their children. If u can't discipline them, then don't have kids!

I think that contributes, but a lot of people don't know how to discipline. It's like they fear their kids or worse, they see nothing wrong with their kids' behaviors, because bad behavior means that the kid is so smart and special and that people who have issues with kids misbehaving are trying to stifle the children. I've heard the latter point from some stay at home mothers (not hating on stay at home mothers; a good friend is one, and she's doing a great job), who constantly monitor their kids.

I've had relatives excuse their children's bad behavior because their kids are allegedly smart (I haven't seen a sign of more than average intelligence myself, though.)

When I worked with the local county there are some horror stories I could tell with children.

One girl she was a brat. a royal arrogant brat. She was in 2nd grade too. She was horrible. And one day I had enough of it. So we were walking in the hall and she was acting horrible and I'll never forget turning around and just letting her have it verbally. There was another teacher in the hall to be a witness and I remember just chewing this child out saying something like " I'm the adult, you are the child. You are very rude to me and I will not put up with it. If your mother puts up with it thats fine but you will treat me with respect. I don't care if you life me or not but you will treat me with respect."

I remember that afternoon I was about to leave and the mother comes in and starts yelling obscenities at me in front of the kids and she raised her hand to slap me-the one who was audatious enough to stand up to her precious darling and I'll never forget as she swung at me, I grabbed her wrist and I don't know what happened that just over came me with such hatred I just squeezed her hand and I told her-" Like it or not, madam, you are one horrible parent who would rather buy her child off than actually love her. Tell me, madam, why do you not even care enough about your child to clearly see that she just wants to be with you and spend time with you? You sicken me and quite frankly you are not fit to be a mother. I am very close to calling DEFACS to get your child away from you-especially seeing how violent you are."At that time the principal had walked in and I was expecting to be fired on the spot.

I'll never forget looking at that mother as if I had just beat the hell outta her and all she could say was " I'm going to sue you." And I remember looking at her and saying, " If I recall, you were the one who raised a hand at me, and there are witnesses. If anyone will sue anyone it will be me taking you to cleaners." The next thing I knew the Principal comes over and says, " It's OK, you can let go of her, we'll get her off school property."

And I watched the woman leave and I remember the girl I had chewed out followed her mom.

To this day I can see that womans eyes just so infuriated that she was hearing the truth and I never did recieve anything about me going to court or anything. I was reprimanded by the school system but it was funny- my reprimand? Staying outside watching the kids play on the playground

I quit that year and told the Principal that point blank-I have no respect for the school systems who are to scared to stand up to parents because of lawsuits and I have no respect for parents who don't care enough about their kids to help ease them into society.

Seriously I don't have respect for 99% of parents unless they can prove to me they love their kids. *sigh*

Yeah-I'm a bitch, but Oh well. I don't care who the parent is I won't let a kid do that to me or a parent do that to me.

Still givin props to the airline.

Haha... I threw a tantrum in the airport once when I was little... My Mom and my aunt walked away... They said when i looked up and couldn't see my parents anymore, i got scared and stopped crying.

Kids only throw tantums if they know their parents will entertain it... It's their way of getting what they want...

Reminds me of this ROFL...

I say good on the airline for making them get off the plane. I bet if it was a drunk person making a fuss and was thrown off you wouldn't hear much about it. I think that no matter if its a man, woman or child causing a disruption, the plane should not be delayed or other passengers inconvenienced. The airline had no other choice but to ask the family to get off the plane. Do some people think they should have waited for the child to finish the tantrum before the plane departed?

If it was my child and I couldn't settle them down then I would have got off myself without being asked. No one should have to deal with poorly behaved individuals.
