sometimes, many times, senior citizens really annoy me...they way they drive, they way they park, they way they think everything about them is privileged...

in restaurants, their chomphers get loose and its awful to watch...

if its a buffet, by God it'll be midnight til you can get thru the line...

sometimes they smell....

you see, we can criticize anyone....

I'm a senior citizen and I LOVE that people are having babies and yes, they should teach their children to behave, but seniors should also learn to behave...

Can I Eat In Piece,

I am not sure, do you know how to use a knife and fork?

It's Your Kid Not Mind,

Yes, it is a child, not a hallucination.

Ironic! Indulged, spoiled and let run wild as children then they turn into obedient slaves of the government as adults. Makes you wonder what happens at age-— and how the Chinese change them.

A friend of mine handled kids riding or playing with toys by saying she would get a cart for them to take it to the front for purchase. They stopped immediately! And if the parents were there she would address them in the same way. Parents would stop their kids then.

A sign I saw at a restaurant in Glen Wood Springs, CO asking parents to keep an eye on their kids, otherwise the children would be given expresso coffee to drink and a free puppy.

Matthew 19:14 but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven”

You do realize Jesus is in heaven.

Getting the kids there, might land one in jail.

but knowing how we women tend to put up with a lot, before the straw breaks the camel’s back,

I don't hate the kids.

But I'd sure like to beat the sh** out of their a**hole parents.

It's not the kids fault they are brats.
But it is the parents.

When we were kids, we had to behave——to go to A & W & EAT INSIDE THE CAR !!!!

I like your parents.

Second, use the rod (Bible): a fiberglass balloon stick; a ping pong paddle, a 3/8 inch wooden dowel rod, a wooden spoon, a long wooden old-style hotel shoe horn, etc.

My parents took the ball off the paddle ball and used the paddle on me.

I remember once...ONCE...acting up in public.

My buddy has 10 kids.

From 3 up to 21 now.

Went to a pizza/bar with them once, when they only had seven kids.

The kids were so good, our waitress brought other wait staff by, to see how well behaved they were.

This was the type of place that you throw peanut shells on the floor. And yet we could have fit in at any sit down place.

After we were done, the manager came by and mentioned that the kids were the best he’s ever had in the restaurant and bought ice cream sundaes for our entire group.

Having 1 or 2 kids well behaved can be attributed to a childs personality.
7 or 10... that’s good parenting.

My buddy’s wife would get up IMMEDIATELY and take the baby out.

I could sit amongst the kids in church...and barely notice them.
My buddy would notice the slightest thing (or so it seemed to me)
A slight lean forward. A slow turn of the head, and eye contact, was ALL it took to make a child change.

They trained their kidS from the youngest age, so that when they got older, seldom anything more was needed.

Never took a stick or anything, other than my hand, to my dog.

My dog is 12 years old next month.

Haven’t had to “spank” her in 11 years.

Like with kids, you train them early, you avoid problems later.

But what of the impact to their future self esteem if you were wantonly allowed to stifle their creativity and self-expression at this critical point in their social development?

Just look at the riots in the streets and on the college campus. These are people that were never told NO!

So screaming kids never bother you in a restaurant. If you will bother to read you will discover this article is titled “CONTROL YOUR KIDS AT THE RESTAURANTS”. So you chime in with a rant about seniors. Some people just can’t seem to get it!!!

That's how you obey God's word, instructed in many passages, to prevent your children from acting like mad dogs----as we witness in public place after public place today.

And if your dog can be trained the same way, all the better.

Not I. I’m happily married to a man who considers my feelings, just as I am considerate of his.
