i can’t imagine having those kids as mine! yeah even kids can abuse too much freedom

I think parents should control this from the very beginning, before the kids start misbehaving.
If the kids acted stupidly once they should understand that it’s not acceptable. It’s a hard job I guess, But these days kids are just going crazy and we need firmer parents…

Whenever I start complaining about kids attitude these days, I just try to stop myself, simply because I’m not a parent yet and I just don’t know what kind of a parent I will be in the future, and what it takes to raise a kid in this world :s

Not having children of course makes me an expert in parenting. ;-) Kids should not be allowed to be in public until they are at least four years old. And when they are, they should be quiet, polite, and respectful, and say “please” and “thank you.” Behavior other than that should earn them a swat.

Actually, all humans should be sterilized until they can prove that they (a.) have the intelligence to be parents, and (b.) have good ethics to be parents. Then they can receive a permit to have one (1) child. Exceptional parents may have two. ;-) But so many people today procreate merely because they can, not because they should or because they have any more brains than a small soap dish.

Dima, :(
I’ve been trying to comment for 4 days and it’s not working :(

i so agree with marvin..lol :)

nido.. yeah i try not to talk and comment about those issues :$ I mean who knows .. one can never know what the future holds for him :$!!!

Marvin.. that Was HILARIOUS! But makes sense ;)

Qwaider.. REALLY?!!! HOW COME?!! WHY..?!! This is strange.. you are not on my blacklist.. not yet :P

Ahhh… It finally worked :)

I am totally against spoiling kids to the extent that they become completely incontrollable.

well u have to let kids be kids…kids have a lot of built up energy..and when u drag them shopping for u, it is not fun for them..you can not excpet them to just sit around and not do a thing…i have had my share of stuff happening at the mall and the store with my two monsters….you have to pick your battles..if they are doing things that are harmless I let them be, as long as they are not ruining things and not being rude to people…i hate shopping with mama…she drives us crazy! he yells at the kids to stop whenever they touch anything, if they walk few feet ahead, if they talk to people..mama is always going ziad khalas, bilal come here, zozo no, bilal no..ziad could be looking at a shirt and touching it, and she would start la’a ziad dont touch…i have to tell her that the shirt is unbreakable..his hands are clean..if he wants to touch the shirt let him touch it..and relaz for god’s sake..it gets annoying at times when they are misbehaving..and I will not have that…i always stop them and threaten them with the longest time out ever..and selling their leapsters on ebay..that usually works for a while…it is best to shop kidless…but u have to let kids be kids..especially when u r dragging them from one store to another..shopping is fun for us, but not for them….hubby acts worse…he whines are u done yet? so i would prefer loud kids who want to explore as apposed to a whinning hubby:)ok this was long…im late to the gym..shoot..i hope it posts! or else i will be very mad!

yeah I guess now it makes more sense.. I like kids to act their age but as you said as long as it’s not harmful. that’s funny about the whining hubby :$ I always prefer to shop alone, sometimes I can be so picky and I hate to feel that im limited with a certain time.. haha

ah btw Sam thank you for the long comment.. it’s great to hear it from someone with experience in that field :)
