A mom of two is catching heat after posting a TikTok bristling at another family's screaming children as she tried to enjoy some downtime eating pizza at a Costco.
'This is why when you go to Costco, you leave the kids with dad and come by yourself,' mom, Tori, who goes by @thatmomtori ok TikTok, whispered into her phone.
'You don't come to Costco as a family when kids scream. Leave them home with dad,' she continued under her breath.
Via text overlay, she added: 'I will never understand why families bring kids who do nothing but scream to Costco, or any shopping experience.

When we were that age our parents would not have tolerated this and would have been embarrassed if we had meltdowns in a store or restaurant. They would have taken us outside or to the bathroom and in worse case beat our butts to make us stop.
This is why so many older children and adults now have meltdowns in stores to staff, I'm sure of it. They were not taught to control themselves as small children.
I do believe she has a point, especially if kids are not tought how to behave.
Don’t they have an adult big box store?
I agree with you children aren’t behaved like they used to be. But I still don’t like these anti-children wackos.
I’ve never been member of Costco, but I’ve been there with friends. It’s noisy and unpleasant, and all the adults around the sample tables act like they are brats. It’s not a place to eat in peace.
I have to believe stuff like this contributes to people being anti children. Really it’s not the child’s fault if they are not well behaved, it’s the parents. Most don’t understand this they think raising kids is like Mary Poppins.
As for are there adults with them? I go into stores all the time and see kids having meltdowns and their tone deaf parents, usually a mom on a cell phone, just ignore them.
Even with the misbehaving, I am still not anti-child. And hate the fact people have child free wedding.
I don’t mind that at all because even in a wedding the parents won’t make them behave! Does not matter if it is in or outside of a church the kids carry on and ruin the ceremony.
I saw a video where a 3 year old darted out and ran down the isle and jumped into the bride’s large poofy wedding dress like he was jumping into those bins at MacDonalds that have all the little balls for kids to play in. It is just a wonder he did not tear or get her dress dirty.
It’s called Home Depot.
Dad is at work, right?
Doesn't she realize how RAY-CIST that statement is?
Regards,
how about the old farts with their walkers and canes stay home because they slow us down so much?....not pretty when you hate on one group is it.
She’s right
The ‘uproar’ is probably over her assumption that there’s a dad to watch them at home.
(I wish that was sarcasm)
Well, she did say leave them at home if they are going to scream. It only took our children two or three times of leaving the grocery store or someplace when they miss-behaved to get them to figure it out.
Sorry - no milk for cereal because you couldn’t behave while I shopped. Of course it is also on the parents to take them when they can be at their best. Heck - my wife doesn’t want ME to go shopping with her if I’m hungry and/or tired!
But it is fairly obvious to me when a child is just being fussy because it is late at night or just being a brat because they didn’t get a candy bar or whatever. I used to shop late at night to avoid the crowds. I always felt sorry on the few occasions I saw a mom with a child or two getting her grocery shopping done at 11 pm.
“And hate the fact people have child free wedding.”
Child free weddings are probably engineered to keep up the appearance of a solemnized and virginal ceremony.
Now that there is called vanity.
TBH I always wondered why the brides at marriages other than the first wedding are wearing white... for that matter why the greater percentage of first marriages wearing white, as they are hardly virgins these days. Those are all a laughable ruse if there ever was one.
“The words “vain,” “vanity,” “vanities” are frequent in the Bible. Their idea is almost exclusively that of “evanescence,” “emptiness,” including “idolatry” and “wickedness” as being not only evil but vain and empty things. They also signify falseness.” [WWW]
Again I don’t blame the children because their parents don’t make them behave but these days that is how it is.
People don’t want mannerless brats getting on their nerves while they are out in public, more so when they are spending a lot of money for peace and quiet.
A wedding is not a birthday party. There are expensive decorations and other items there. The Bride and Groom shelled out thousands of dollars for it and they don’t want anything ruined.
I heard a story of parents who cut the wedding cake before the Bride and groom did just because their kids were hungry. I would hit the roof too if that was my wedding. There are “firsts” at a wedding that will never happen again and the last thing a lot of couples want is kids spoiling it all because their parents don’t know how to raise them.
Decades ago yes kids could attend but not anymore and it has more to do with bad parenting.
I suggest she shop somewhere other than Costco if she wants a relaxing experience free of people who annoy her.
As long as you make your children behave.
I try to avoid anywhere with out of control parents and children.
Needless to say I don’t hang out much in many places.
