umm. I don't agree with sunshyne 100% ... I mean, if your going to go have the mall experience, stupid people and their noisey kids is all part of the trip. That aint changing, suck it up.... "children + their mothers" is the most rediculous punching bag thread name I've ever come across.
on the other hand, to say that all kids act like abnoxious little bastards in public is completely bogus. Parents who actually take the time and effort to teach values, manners, and proper social etiquette to their children from a young age; are not the parents who will let their kids run loose and raise havoc. with that said, even if the parents have managed to instill a certain ammount of respect ( or fear) into their children at a young age to do the "right thing";This still doesn't guarantee that these children will grow up to be decent people. Kids grow up and do whatever the fuck they want. I guess i kinda went off on a tangent. but my point is that even well behaved children that wont cause scenes out in public could quite possibly turn into the people who steal money from cancer research fund raisers or fill the empty void in their life with poisoning the neighbor's pets. so sunshyne. dont make a punching bag thread about the children who wont shut up while your deciding wether or not to "super size" it.... make a punching bag thread when they grow up and start poisoning your pets.

LOL...Ok, so first of all, you don't have to take your kid anywhere with you. Leave them home with "dad" if you need to buy food for them (or whatever) if they can't control themselves in public, or you just can't control your kid. It will not only make shopping easier for yourself, but on everyone else as well. If "dad" isn't around for whatever reason, I'm sorry you got duped, but that's no excuse to let you kid do whatever they want.
Secondly, kids are going to be little bastards, it's going to happen and you can't always prevent it, BUT, but at least act like you care that your child is being a shit in public. If you cannot control your child in public, maybe you shouldn't bring them out? And if you're sick of "nagging" you kids, and they act out anyway, then you're not being a very good mom or dad then are you? Children need love and boundaries and it's your job to set them! I don't care if you're too tired and you find you repeating yourself daily... just do it. Finally, there are some well behaved kids out there, like I had mentioned before... and they were all with a male role model... and there are some good moms out there too who can keep their eye on their kid while they shop. These people I don't have a problem with! It's the others I have the issues with! I don't hate all children! And yes, I was once a child myself (hard to believe eh?). Know where I went to get all that excess energy out? Dance class, gymnastics, soccer, bowling & soft ball. And on the rare occasion I did act up in a mall, we'd leave immediately and I'd be in my room until dinner time. No harm done, and my mom didn't look like she couldn't control her kid. I'd have a temper tantrum in my room or whatever and that would be that. Sooner or later, you learn to get over it. And what does that mean "considering to super size it"? I don't get. Do you think this just happened in the food court? No no sweetie, it was around the whole mall. The food court was fine - kids were eating burgers and fries and just ate their food and played with their kids meal toy. So why shouldn't this be in the "punching bag"?

not everyone has the money to put their kids in afterschool activities. especailly these days - sports and clubs cost small fortunes.
i was going to continue here, but obviously your mind is set. i hope that if you ever have kids, they have the most energy any child can ever have and you get stuck somewhere very public while they kick, scream and make a complete fool out of you. i hope that this is on a day where you are running late for an appointment, still have to get groceries for dinner, make dinner, your husband is at work, and you cant afford child care. and i hope some young lady has the balls to give you a dirty look for being an annoying mother with a little shit for a child.

My daughter is the same age as Chrissy's, so they arent at the run around and yell stage. But they are at the grabby age, the age that if they grab something you take it away the scream bloody murder. What am i suipposed to do if she does that at the grocery store? Leave, Punish her, call her bad? Her dad works, im on leave and not going back, my husband works long hours doing construction, im not going to wait till he gets home to shop to please other people. Its nice that we get to spend a few hours as a family during the night, and i as a stay at home mom can do everything i need to during the day.

^ seconded <3
My hubby works 17 hour days. 5am to 9pm. What the hell do you expect people to do! The only time I have to do anything is during the day or on weekends. AND Metrotown is a mall BUILT for mothers. Have you been in the washrooms there??? There's 6 baby change tables, and stroller bathroom stalls, FOR MOTHERS. If you don't want kids to bug you, GO SHOPPING AT NIGHT. Why don't you change YOUR schedule so *you* don't get bothered.

theres a point where kids are no longer acting like excited little people and more like out of control freaks.
I see it in my store all the time. parants dont say shit when there kid is running around smashing my displays and ripping shit off the walls. then theres other kids that are nice, barely touch anything cause there parants tell them not too.

all my mall experiences with Chrissy and Brooklynn have been EXCELLENT!
that baby is like a doll..she'll get crabby when she gets hungry and poopy but we take care of that and she love auntie Carrie. it's also very nice that I can walk around with Brooklynn and mommy can do some shopping.

I agree with the comment that was made about if the parents take time to really teach values to their children that they will be better behaved,
but Brooklynn is just saying mommy and standing up. She can't ask for what she wants yet, she has to cry and ask for it that way. Even at the house she's pretty well behaved baby, she'll whimper and I'll pick her up and she'll smile at me while mommy gets her dinner ready..

kids fuckin dropping huge displays and the parents just look up and go OOPS, and walk away. What are they teaching their kids? That its okay to do that? But still, I agree with chrissy and princess, the dad is working long hours, the mother needs to make sure there is dinner on the table, they have appointments, they have to go grocery shopping, they have to clean etc. Even if they do go in the day Im prety sure they have a zillion other things that need to be done!

I mean even i bump in to people, but to not stop your child from ruining displays and breaking things in stores, that shouldnt be acceptable to any parent! But even parents who have distructive children need to get stuff done. Say something to the mother if it really bugs you.

nobody is to busy during the day to teach there kid how to act proper in public. In fact it should be one of those drop everything your doing and take care of bizz situations. kids doing normal kids stuff is one thing ,kids going on a full out rampage is another.

^^^^^ Exactly.
Chrissy I'm sure your little one will be raised knowing right from wrong and respect and such, but there are a lot of mothers out there who just don't see it that way.

My brother was a kid like that, he had ADHD and other things going on, my mom faught battles teaching him stuff all the time, he had learning disabilities aswell, as his BIrth mother was a doing drugs her whole pregnancy im sure it didnt help his case when he got older. With me, i would follow my mom around and stay quiet, not touch anything as she taught me it wasnt allowed. And thats how i hope to raise my daughter. Now obviosuly not all of those kids have ADHD or other problems, but thats what i meant as with a destructive child. Some parents just wont say NO to there kids
