@Ed T,

Oh, I agree some people should be smacked. But 10 times out of 10, it's not kids. But nice try, Ed.

@Jozet at Halushki,
Fuck that. Kids can control their behavior. If a kid acts up, the parents should smack the little bastard. To hell with your psychobabble.

@Kelley,
I hope your kid gets hit by a bus.

Holy crap, I agree, I agree, I agree!!!! If I was the boss of the world (LOL) I would make one day 'kid-free day' when parents aren't allowed to bring their children into public (unless they are still a fetus, I suppose that's acceptable) and either have to hire a babysitter or stay home with the ill-mannered little brats they created. Oh, what a pleasure grocery shopping would be without screaming kids running up and down the aisles, pushing old people out of the way. Stores could even hand out champagne at the door for their adults-only event and a mean looking bouncer could stand at the door refusing entry to families. Giggle. Swear words could be spoken allowed rather than muttered under your breath. Oh, in a perfect world…

We like taking our kids out to the finest restaurants. Then we send them to run wild through the place. Yelling, screaming and sticky hands are a must.

B.B. King and a Geeky Tai Tai…

Yesterday, I was going about my day when I got this wonderful Tweet:
GeekyTai_Tai: I got to where I was gittin' and had a wonderful time. Next stop, Nashville later today. @GingerSnaps heading your way. I'll stop and stay on northside some…

When Little Elvis was 2 he had one of those 'teachable-two' moments in a restaurant while we were waiting to be seated. A young man about 25 or so walked over, looked my son and then at me and said, "What a monster."

My response to him was the same as it is to all who think kids should the sometimes-seen and not heard: "Hello! Guess what? You were like that once, too. The only difference is you obviously never grew out of being obnoxious and totally self-absorbed." :loser:

Today, at 12, LE is more mannered and respectful than that young man was at 25.

It isn't kids I have a problem with in the situations cited above, it's with the parents. If I can't get a sitter, I simply postpone going to the movies until I can get one. I'm in agreement with those who think parents should use better judgment when considering taking a small child to an 8pm or later film. Hey, I get cranky when I stay up too late, too. :banghead:

And about crying babies on planes? They have no mechanism for unplugging their ears; and as most infants and toddlers have chronically congested uestachian tubes, it causes intense pressure and pain. Next time you're in a plane, think about that.

Well behaved kids are not an issue, for the most part. I took my daughter to a lot of places and she was pretty well behaved. If she was tired and got cranky, we cut our visit short and left as to not bother the masses.

To add to your movie ban, any movie that is rated for adults, leave the kid at home. I can't tell you how fucking pissed I get when I go see an R-Rated action film and some parent has their 2 month old baby in their arms, while they are trying to watch the movie. Not only will the kids hearing be damaged at a very early age, the first peep out of that kid while Mother of the Year is trying to find out what happens to Bruce Willis is going to irritate every adult in that theater.

BTW, I agree with everything you said above.

Myg, exactly! Allyson, with people living much longer lifespans and with modern medicine keeping those alive who otherwise should have died, our population will eventually overtake the land we have on which to house them. How is that a myth? Poppy, make England come to you.

So it's been a little while since I sat down and offered you some awesome morsels from the table of my blogosphere feast. Before we get on with The Snacking… I just want to point out something to those people who say, "Oh, no one could …
