I think anyone who complains about kids in a kid-friendly venue is nuts, especially if they are just being kids. If they are acting exceptionally rude and the parents are ignoring it, then it's a problem.<BR/>Thanks for stopping by my BPOTW!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582583925813368098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408799910756042468.post-83901371359042461892009-02-14T14:13:00.000-07:002009-02-14T14:13:00.000-07:00The bottom line is that people just need to get ov...The bottom line is that people just need to get over themselves and realize that we share a planet with all different kinds of people and that interacting with them is what makes us interesting.<BR/><BR/>That lady on the airplane just needs to learn to use earplugs or noise canceling devices.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00062037882359130530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408799910756042468.post-55493681363396435632009-02-13T23:05:00.000-07:002009-02-13T23:05:00.000-07:00Amen and great post!

I always go to matinees because they are significantly less expensive. <BR/><BR/>I don't care if a kid cries on an airplane. I'm a really hyper person and sitting in one seat being under-stimulated for hours on end makes me want to cry too. But I hate when the little shits kick my seat, and I do whip around and glare while saying "Excuse me, you're kicking my seat." <BR/><BR/>I also get really annoyed when little kids are in line for something (anywhere) and they keep stepping on my feet or banging into me. It's hard to resist the urge to scream at the parent, "Control your child!" when their kid has stepped on my foot for the third time. Especially when the kid notices they did it, and they looked at me to see if I noticed too, but they didn't apologize. <BR/><BR/>*I do not go to Disney, ever.Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16418000715581696676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408799910756042468.post-76270786348597709092009-02-10T18:34:00.000-07:002009-02-10T18:34:00.000-07:00Totally agree with you!

I expect kids at kids venues and other places we both need to be, I specifically mentioned planes. A baby screaming for 10 hours might annoy me but I keep calm, it's not the parents fault.<BR/>And holy crap - the Disneyland story! What the hell? How do you go to a place designed for children and get annoyed by children?<BR/>That's just retarded.<BR/><BR/>As for the small print, I might have kids some day but I still won't be a "baby person". I don't go all gooey when I see a kid and I don't think that will ever happen. But I have plenty of friends who feel the same way and are great parents at the same time.Bella@That damn expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00441537825845749674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408799910756042468.post-13351068601395562452009-02-09T19:51:00.000-07:002009-02-09T19:51:00.000-07:00Here Here!!Here Here!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02285327851504685807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408799910756042468.post-25389417885247423052009-02-09T17:38:00.000-07:002009-02-09T17:38:00.000-07:00I COMPLETELY AGREE....I have two very good kids th...I COMPLETELY AGREE....I have two very good kids that can be hard to deal with but I never take them to places that they should not be.
