Back on topic, I can't blame you for feeling the way you did. I love kids, but I can't stand brats! Those brats were out of control, and their parents were supposed to keep them in control, and not doing their jobs. Sonic Screamers especially give me a raging headache (it's worse when you're stuck serving the parent of a Sonic Screamer who is happily ignoring them while they screech at earsplitting levels, over and over and over while Mommie Dreariest takes her sweet time deciding between two items...! ).

OH MY GOD I hate parents like this. Having a kid scream once in a while is normal, but to just sit there and let them do it nonstop and make absolutely no attempt to shut them up, drives me crazy. I had a customer sit there and actually EGG HER KID ON when he was throwing a tizzy. "Oh is that all you got? Why don't you scream louder?" "Really, I can't hear you, you should keep going."

I can't stand it when the parent just ignores the screaming. The second part sounds more like not really encouraging but trying to get the kid to shut up. Kind of like, "Oh you can do better than that. Scream all you want, I can ignore it quite well". Granted it's annoying for everyone else but it does seem to work on occasion.

Oops...sorry for the error. Thanks for patching that up, crazylegs.

Ok, so I shared this story with my mom about the camera happy would be parent. She couldn't believe it! She said, and this is a direct quote:

"Ok, I'm a grandma and I know I'm bad when it comes to taking a lot of pictures, but at least I have the sense God gave a pissant!

Cue me laughing like a loon on the bus and getting strange looks.

I love you, mama!

If that had been me when i was a kid, my mother would have returned me as damaged.

Had that been me, my mother would have sent me back to the manufacturer as defunct - as in dead. She didn't put up with crap.

Of course there was the time years ago when we attempted to go shopping for school clothes at the local Blue Light store with my younger brother . . . he was around 7 1/2 and I was 13. Mom was having to use a walker at the time because she was recovering from a car accident a few weeks earlier but we had no one else to help out with shopping, so we were having to do it ourselves.

Needless to say, he thought we were going for toys, even though Mom kept trying to tell him we were shopping for clothes on this trip and we'd do toys later. No sooner did we get inside the entrance and Mom tried to steer him toward the boys' apparel, he laid down in the floor and started a full blown temper tantrum. Kicking, screaming, pounding fists, grunting (he still was having trouble at the age of 7 1/2 with words and had a bad speech impediment) the whole nine yards.

Needless to say it took both of us to pick him up out of the floor and drag him back outside to the truck. Mom ended up taking us back home, dropped my brother off with Grandma and we hopped back into the truck and went back to shop.

We've never went shopping for school clothes together after that.
