Why cant parents control their kids in public?
Why is it that I ALWAYS have to tell some lil snot nosed, dirty ass kid to stop running in my store, while the parents just stand there and do nothing? They wont tell them to stop running around like crack induced maniacs, but they will get offended when I tell the little terrorist to “take that shit outside”….. In those exact words.
I feel like I should stand at the doorway and hand out leashes for some of these kids. Or maybe I could come up with a “kid check”….you know, kinda like a coat check, but for ankle biters.
Nah, that probably wouldn’t work. Knowing some of these parents around here, they would leave and “forget” to pick up their kids on the way out.
I don’t think I ever ran around a Supermarket when I was young. I was too scared of my mother. She would go in with the belt if we even dared to walk faster than 1.5 mph.
I think that’s what it is. These whippersnappers lack the proper discipline. Parents don’t whoop that ass anymore, so these kids get away with murder.
By no means am I condoning child abuse ,btw (although it seems warranted in certain situations! I kid, I kid……maybe)
Morale of the story, folks? Don’t be Mr.Softee with your kids, specifically when the situation calls for some sort of action. Don’t be that parent with the kid screaming bloody murder in the middle of the store, and you’re solution to the problem is trying to put them on “time out”.
Do what my mom used to do……give “Rosemary’s Baby” the evil eye, a pinch on the leg and say (in Spanish if you can): “Espera hasta que llegamos a la casa, hijo de la Gran puta, cono!”
Translation: Wait until we get home, you son of a b*!ch!
Worked everytime………
Lmaoo hell yea that worked everytime….Aaah the good old days lol
That it did…..and I have the pinch scars on my leg STILL to prove it!
mierquina! =] sometimes i feel like “eprimiendo” them little kids, wow..and it sucks how the parents just let them do whatever they want and once you try to impose something on them kids they flip out. =/ pero nada.. keep them post coming, lol.. ever thought of writting a book on the true life of a bodeguero =]… i would def. buy it.
and.. about the “evil eye” haha..thats hilarious because its sooo true … and uy.. how they say “eso pa crecer”.. for every scratch,cut, or bruise=/ how would we be without our Dominican parents….. pero nah .. Besitos pa tii! muahz! keep em’ coming.
The thought of actually writing a book has crossed my mind. Thank you for the compliment, manita!
Dominican parents are TOUGH! But youre right….how would we have been without them? My mother was a bit heavy handed at times, but I appreciate everything she did and Im grateful for her being the way she was. In hindsight, she did what was necessary to ensure we would all turn out ok…
Y gracias otra vez por todo el apoyo y carino que me a dado! Un abrazo para ti!
I could see your mom giving you the evil eye as I was reading lol.
