Have you ever been in a store, just wanting to walk about looking for ponies/figures/whatever, and had that completely ruined because some ignorant snot-nosed kid starts screaming to mommy for a toy? Oooh, nowadays it seems as if I can't just go into a store for two seconds without hearing "moooommmyyyyy!" I just want to strangle those kids, and one day I'm afraid I will (and if you think I'd actually do that, you're a fucking idiot). I believe all children should be kept at home til they are 13, and then are able to go outside into the world after proper training in how to act among the public.
I hate screaming children, and wish every kid could be well-behaved. Shit knows that's not gonna happen though, lol

Tell me about it. I know it's pretty ironic to complain about children since we collect children's toys and need to be around the toy isles ALL. The effing time. But PLEASE! If you can't control kids, use birth control!

Toys aren't just for brats That is one thing I NEVER want to be called- Mom, Moomy Screaming brats are one of my pet peeves; even the laughter of brats is annyoing. They can't seem to do anything quietly. Elizabeth

Most children today communicate screaming. I blame their parents entirely. I don't 'get' why children are allowed to scream their heads off once they get to go outside. Honestly, SOME screaming, yelling and laughter I can handle. I am not some sinister old spinster, lol. But most kids in my neighborhood SCREAM and YELL for hours and hours in a row...
Perhaps I hold an extremely outdated opinion on upbringing, but I honestly think we [=older generations] were brought up in a better way. My mom taught me not to scream outside. She made sure I didn't. She would scold me time and time again until I learned to keep my voice down.
As far as whining in stores go... Whining equaled no pocket money, no dessert or no gift. It was a very effective way of learning how to shut the fuck up. Of course, when children are really young, you can't expect them to understand such things which is why I am AMAZED by the number of parents that actually take their toddlers with them on a Saturday afternoon. Please. Do your fussy, whining, tired little bundle a favor and get yourself a babysitter. Watching parents shop with small children is pure torture. *blinks*
