I was in a pub/restaurant a couple of weeks ago with a mate and his 5 year old lad, and there was this little runt (probably 7 or 8) running round like a lunatic. We ignored him until he tried to take my friends sons toy and my mate politely asked his mum to control him, and she told him in no uncertain terms he’s just doing what young boys do and to feck off.
Less than 2 minutes later the kid is still running around and ran head first into a table and started crying. I turned to my mate and said ‘natural selection that’ and his mum went all Liam Gallagher on me threatening to ‘bang me out’.
Can see where the kid gets it from
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fair play to her.
I think most people would react similalry if someone made a snidey remark at their child being hurt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No joke if that happened to me I would laugh at the kid and laugh at the parent.

You have to be very careful with this sort of thing, for example the child may have a form of autism or learning difficulties.
As a customer of the restaurant/pub you may have several minutes of annoyance to endure but the parent of the child is living with the situation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With due respect that isn't someone's problem if it's ruining their experience. Also I guarantee people name drop things like autism/disability to justify the behaviour of the child, rather than the child actually being autistic.

What do you think about children on planes?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They should be made to sit outside on the wings.
Its the fault of thick British parents. You dont get kids behaving like this in many other European countries such as France in restaurants. They sit with the adults, join in the conversation and also eat stuff from the menu. No turkey twizzlers or colouring in books required.
As for babies screaming, you cant stop that, so they need taking out of the room by one of the parents to calm down. On planes adults with babies should be seated together in a section of the aircraft. Babies under 18 months shouldnt be on flights anyway.
Why do people need to be surrounded by other people that they don't know or like to supposedly enjoy themselves for lots of money?
Have you considered doing something better instead?

I agree that some folk label their kids with disabilities they haven't got to excuse poor parenting.
However as the father of a 10 year old son I've seen enough kids have meltdowns at parks, football, birthday parties, school drop off and pick ups to know that sometimes controlling a youngsters behaviour can be a tough business.
In my experience most parents are doing their best. That said before I had my lad would I have been so tolerant? Probably not!

Yes I feel their pain when my boy was 2 to 5 he was a bit of a nightmare and challenged alot of the rules that we, his nursery and primary school set.
But 5 years later generally does as he's told, has a wide circle of friends and is excelling in maths, whereas other parents we know who got it easy when their kids were younger are now having their authority challenged.
Unfortunately they don't come with a manual.

Yeah I think when it comes to children or disabled kids then the venue or plane should just have a separate area for them. Either that or don't let them in because they really do ruin it for everyone else.

Yeah so many do it. Oh my child has autism, oh my child has ADHD etc. Prove it would be my policy in venues.
Ok let's make it interesting:
Is it acceptable to hit children?
I say no, but a LOT of people I know think it is. Claim it would stop knife crime etc too!

It's a tough one because it's so easy to say that you never should if you have a well behaved child.
During my boys early badly behaved days I sometimes had to take things off him (that he was about to launch through my neighbours greenhouse) in a very aggressive manner. Obviously when you are spontaneously reacting to firefight a situation you can hurt a child inadvertently but I've never deliberately struck him.
Of course the other aspect to this debate is what classes as a hit. I don't necessarily have a problem with a parent tapping a child to prevent them hurting themselves or others but a full on slap is a different matter.

Says the fecking idiot who repeatedly tells us he loses his shi1t and spoils everybody else's day when he doesn't get what he wants, someone who is quite happy to destroy the morale of everyone in his 'company' by forcing people to quit because he's having a bad day.
Supposed to be some high flying business whizz kid but comes across as one of those stroppy kids he professes to hate.
Really, you couldn't normally make it up, but, as we all know that's exactly what Ulcer has done. He didn't win of the year for nothing.

Sorry but loud, obnoxious annoying kids ruin experiences. Whether it's a flight, meal, theatre trip, cinema trip or tour.
I honestly can't stand them and it isn't my issue if they have a disability.
Normally individuals are happy to make reasonable adjustments for children who misbehave. And particularly children who have behavioural issues.
All kids, at some point will be naughty. It’s human nature.

With due respect that isn't someone's problem if it's ruining their experience. Also I guarantee people name drop things like autism/disability to justify the behaviour of the child, rather than the child actually being autistic.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree that some folk label their kids with disabilities they haven't got to excuse poor parenting.
However as the father of a 10 year old son I've seen enough kids have meltdowns at parks, football, birthday parties, school drop off and pick ups to know that sometimes controlling a youngsters behaviour can be a tough business.
In my experience most parents are doing their best. That said before I had my lad would I have been so tolerant? Probably not!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
From outside, it looks like an impossible job to me.
My friends who have kids all look like world weary and defeated shadows of their former selves
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes I feel their pain when my boy was 2 to 5 he was a bit of a nightmare and challenged alot of the rules that we, his nursery and primary school set.
But 5 years later generally does as he's told, has a wide circle of friends and is excelling in maths, whereas other parents we know who got it easy when their kids were younger are now having their authority challenged.
Unfortunately they don't come with a manual.

Its the fault of thick British parents. You dont get kids behaving like this in many other European countries such as France in restaurants. They sit with the adults, join in the conversation and also eat stuff from the menu. No turkey twizzlers or colouring in books required.
As for babies screaming, you cant stop that, so they need taking out of the room by one of the parents to calm down. On planes adults with babies should be seated together in a section of the aircraft. Babies under 18 months shouldnt be on flights anyway.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I think when it comes to children or disabled kids then the venue or plane should just have a separate area for them. Either that or don't let them in because they really do ruin it for everyone else.

You have to be very careful with this sort of thing, for example the child may have a form of autism or learning difficulties.
As a customer of the restaurant/pub you may have several minutes of annoyance to endure but the parent of the child is living with the situation.

Yeah so many do it. Oh my child has autism, oh my child has ADHD etc. Prove it would be my policy in venues.

Ok let's make it interesting:
Is it acceptable to hit children?
I say no, but a LOT of people I know think it is. Claim it would stop knife crime etc too!

No, just aircraft. You can take a screaming baby out of a venue but you cant on a flight.
As for disabled kids I havent got a clue what your problem with them is.

It's a tough one because it's so easy to say that you never should if you have a well behaved child.
During my boys early badly behaved days I sometimes had to take things off him (that he was about to launch through my neighbours greenhouse) in a very aggressive manner. Obviously when you are spontaneously reacting to firefight a situation you can hurt a child inadvertently but I've never deliberately struck him.
Of course the other aspect to this debate is what classes as a hit. I don't necessarily have a problem with a parent tapping a child to prevent them hurting themselves or others but a full on slap is a different matter.

Says the fecking idiot who repeatedly tells us he loses his shi1t and spoils everybody else's day when he doesn't get what he wants, someone who is quite happy to destroy the morale of everyone in his 'company' by forcing people to quit because he's having a bad day.
Supposed to be some high flying business whizz kid but comes across as one of those stroppy kids he professes to hate.
Really, you couldn't normally make it up, but, as we all know that's exactly what Ulcer has done. He didn't win of the year for nothing.

Sorry but loud, obnoxious annoying kids ruin experiences. Whether it's a flight, meal, theatre trip, cinema trip or tour.
I honestly can't stand them and it isn't my issue if they have a disability.

Normally individuals are happy to make reasonable adjustments for children who misbehave. And particularly children who have behavioural issues.
All kids, at some point will be naughty. It’s human nature.
