have you ever

Kosmic, you clearly love and appreciate your children and good loving parents are what the world could stand a lot more of, but come on, you have to be able to see what the bare knuckle issue is here...its not anti-child

I think that there was a different mentality when I grew up. My mom would not let me run crazy in the food aisle. At the first sign of anything- she put everything back and walk out the store- no Lucky Charms for me. We learned not to do that early in life.

you guys are nus....haha. its not always that cut and dry. for real. you dont think its difficult when you have your child in the store, they dont want to stay in the cart, they want to touch everything, and yet you still have to get what you are there for because you have to FEED your family. Maybe you cannot drop your child off at the babysitters, or moms, or your sisters. Some of us dont have the luxury of simply walking out of the store while their 1.5-2 year old runs amuck.

So, when this happens (and it does) I have fun with it. Of course I tell him the things he cannot do (open stuff, drop the bag of cookies on the floor, reach into others carts, stealing others dimes they dropped on the floor , tear magazines apart, play with the toys...well, I usually play with the toys, so thats not a good example, etc...you know, the shit you shouldnt being doing because its disrepectful). I try to keep my son involved by handing him the stuff we need, letting him put it in the cart, and hells yeah, I even let him run and I chase him down the isle joking "Im gonna get you, Im gonna get you".

Through all that chaos and stress, its still fun if you make it fun. Next time you see a kid running like crazy, join them. Have fun with it. Make faces at them.

Hell, I still run with a grocery cart through the store and jump on the back and ride it for as far as I can... My wife and I play football with paper towel rolls too. We're careful not to run anyone over though and we aren't screaming the whole time.

I truly understand that a child simply doesn't understand and its great that you have such a great attitude about that kind of thing when it does happen. That kind of thing is inevituable with a child. I hate to see a parent whipping or screaming at a child for acting up in public, but there has to be some kind of effort on the part of the parent. Parenthood, I am sure, is a wonderful thing and hopefully I will be ready for it one day. Right now, my 16 month old lab is more than I can handle.....a child couldn't be any worse.....or at least I hope not! That would be one wild ass young-un

Yes its nice when you- the parent is involved and keeping the kid involved- but I'm not in the store to play with your kid. I have a purpose and a time constraint. I want to go in and get out. If your kid is running around and blocking and making a disturbance- then that does not make me happy.

waaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! i cant get my groceries in a hurry....waaaaaaaaaaaah! I have a schedule. I am on a time line here bitches. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! I need to get in, get my bread, butter, pop tarts, and entemanns in approximately 6.3 minutes, excluding checkout of course...that should take approx 1 min, and if not, off with the fucking clerks head....I dont have time for dumb clerks either.

whos the little kid here?

yes, my 2 year old is preventing you from shopping. My son is bad ass. No going down the isle without getting by him first. Its the MMA training.

Are you for real?

This pit is full of grumpy fuckers and little bitches.

Are you 80? you are probably the guy in the neighborhood with the collection of like 1,000 wiffle balls that kids accidentally hit in your yard.

Dude, is there no way of compromise? You keep your kids in line, I don't bitch about it. It works for me.

I was just thinking that. By all means, have children, just keep them out of sight till they're 25.

Do people forget being a kid, getting in trouble? Do they forget how much fun it was to run up and down the supermarket aisles and climb all over em and hide?

i still am a 5 year old, im not 36.
when in a store i still hide in the clothes racks
running and running, throwing and throwing things @ my brothers.
when in a store with all the noisy gagets=toys and stuff
i turn them all on...the entire shelf is filled with lil stuffed animals
for valentines day gifts...every single last one of them lil noise makin
whatnots are all fired up, 50 of em all @ once are all dancing, clapping, singing, and jamming out....i love being 7 years old...

in pizza-hut one time when my youngest brother was an infant
he escaped the clutches of our parents, found himself in a corner
and proceeded to crap on the floor
parents were embarrest, yet helped clean things up as much as
they could..

nah, i might get annoyed by children every now and again, but then they are kids we all once were, i let them get away with it, because they don't realize and understand certain things.
