Bonzo77 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 What - even if he is screaming the place down? Somewhat selfish, don't you think? He'd have to be really playing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barleycorn Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I'm not God, but I too am glad I am not your mother. (You couldn't be my child though, as all mine can punctuate!) Touché. Alice ... 4,320 Have viewed this and not one agrees with you. Your kids must be so happy with their mum ?!?!? ! I agree with her, as do many others on this thread. In the main the ones who don't are the ones who didn't bother to read the thread properly. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Screaming the place down' is generally a sign that a child needs attention. It is not necessarily 'playing up', (which is wilful and deliberate), but it doesn't mean that it can be ignored, especially when out in public. A restaurant is no place for anyone (of any age) who is screaming. End of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perplexed Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Alice BB is correct. Appallingly behaved children should be controlled by their parents. If they cannot be controlled after a reasonable period, then the parent should take them out of the situation and disrupt their evening, not everybody else's.

aliceBB Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Thanks for that super nanny! Next time I'll know. It's because I'm not giving him enough attention. I bet your kids were angles when they were toddlers?! Ha! 'Not Angles, but angels' (Pope Gregory). Seriously, please point out anything I have said which (heaven forbid) suggests that my kids were angelic when small. They were just normal. They had occasional tantrums, especially when tired or hungry. But we spent a lot of time with them when tiny, and tried to take their needs into account when we went out anywhere where they might have to sit for any length of time (books, crayons, etc). And positive attention does make a big difference in reducing whingeing, tantrums, etc. The difference between my kids and those of the laissez-faire apologists on this thread (are you one of them?) is that if they kicked off noisily when we were out in public (in a shop, cafe, at a wedding or theatre performance), we took them outside so they didn't spoil the occasion for everyone else. That way they learnt that life wasn't all about them. Not a bad lesson, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
