Last night I was with my mum in a shop near where we live. While were there a little girl, who couldn't have been anymore than about six at the oldest was practically running riot around the store. She was shouting and screaming and pulling stock from the shelves, all the while her dad who I assume was supposed to be supervising the little shit, was stood in the corner trying on coats and admiring himself in the mirror :rolleyes: At no point did he tell her off.
The brat then got hold of one of those little wheelie suitcases and started pushing it around the floor, at one point she very nearly hit my mum in the legs with it. At this point I could see the staff starting to get pissed off with it, and I wanted to confront the dad and tell him to keep his devil spawn under control, by mum wouldn't let me.
My god, what is with these lousy parents who think its acceptable to inflict their children's bad behaviour on others?
If your kids don't know how to behave leave them at home. This goes also goes for restaurants and cafe's!:mad:

That's not good either
Be grateful, the little girl could have been letting off fireworks:D
I bet your mum was relieved you were a good boy and behaved yourself in the shop.
The spawns of Satan are running amok on wheelies or grabbing the trollies.
When some OAP gets knocked down and hurt, I hope the Supermarkets are sued so much for allowing such vile creatures (and their offspring) from darkening their aisles.
Bring back a clip round the ear!
I was either in the trolley seat or she held my hand better than any metalwork vice.
When you were 6????
If I was not behaving even at 6 that vice like hand was keeping me back...yes.
Or breed like rabbits. Some parents have more kids than they can handle.
I said to him "you're not having my money, I haven't got any!"
The parent was miles away.
A six-year old girl is fair game to be called "a little shit"?
A six-year old girl?
Now you were one of the foul people who was laughing at the depiction of a child on a TV show being bullied and forced to wear a dress, and claiming that "it isn't real" so therefore fine to mock. What's your excuse this time?
Fair enough, the parents didn't have the kid under control, but it's NO excuse for you to go around branding a child all names under the sun and it makes you sound just as unpleasant and intolerant. All because it was a slight inconvenience for yourself and your mother? Nope, you have no sympathy from me.
Probably against their human rights to do that. :yawn:
No matter how bad kids are in shops it's nothing compared to airports. Most (and I really do mean MOST) parents in airports switch off as soon as they enter the terminal (if you stand by airport doors you can actually pin point the second their eyes glaze over). They let their kids run about screaming while they are checking in. They let their kids climb on baggage belts, play with trolleys, hide behind pillars and all sorts. The parents expect the staff to look after them and of course blame the airport if the kid gets hurt.
At this time of year there is the added bonus of not being exposed to the ghastly Christmas music being played everywhere.
I couldn't travel on public transport without them either tbh.
Unfortunately your view that a child must not be criticised under any circumstances is exactly the attitude that has lead to the situation the OP is complaining about.
Some kids are brats and pretending that they're not does no-one any favours.
To think its another generation that’s going to be the same, or worse!!
