They should be seldom seen and less often heard. That's what I used to tell my youngest sister and my nieces. I used to sing them a song that they hated. It had to do with the fact that Christmas and Halloween were the only "kids' days" and every other day was "adult day'. If I recall correctly, the first verse was:
Adult Day, Adult Day,
Everything's going my way.
When kids aren't seen, and they're less often heard--
Hurray! It's Adult Day.

Would you care to elaborate for us, Josh?
And I shouldn't have to "deal with it" if they aren't my kids.
I bought a house in the country away from other people for the solitude. The last thing I want to see walking down MY driveway are 8 kids on bikes creating a rucous on their way through the woods and fields to a friend's house. But I did see it, 2 months after moving in.
And I dealt with it, I ticked their parents off in telling them about it and now they have to stop what they're doing to drive them over to the friend's house. A little task such as asking for permission would have made it a lot easier.
I despise children with no manners. I had manners growing up, but somewhere along the way I think parents these days forgot how to teach them. Might have to do with the fact that you're not supposed to punish your children anymore, but only give them "time-outs". I never had a time-out in all my days, when I did something wrong, my arse literally felt it, and most times it involved an object in hand.
It's funny how the majority of those kids I grew up with in school that were coddled by their parents are now not where you thought they'd be.

Badger Bob "It's A great Day For Hockey". He was the coach when they won the first stanley cup but passed away shortly after to be replaced by Scotty Bowman. The players did not like him so they got rid of him. That was a stupid mistake. Look what he did for Detriot.jazzgeek said:

Sorry to go on but hockey is my first love.

I'm sort of mixed on this topic...
I try to be patient with real little kids, but having none of my own, it can be hard to deal with other people's. I seem to always get the flight or restaurant table with the baby that is striving for the highest decibel level in history, and I just want to scream 'shut that thing up!!!!' But they are just babies so what are you going to do?
I love kids that are old enough to be into snakes and lizards, though. There's nothing like a little youthful enthusiasm and it's only natural for them to play and be a little noisy. I guess we can't expect them all to behave like little adults just to please us, that would just be sad!

My long response...
As the mother of four, there are often days I would rather them not be seen nor heard :grin01: And after 18 yrs of parenting I have used up most of my patience on my own children so don't want to put up with anyone else's kids(but I do :shrugs: ).
I also have some of those obnoxious kids. I didn't want those dead in front of the TV stupid robotic kids, or for them to grow up being meally mouth, sit in the corner, domestic violence victim types. I have always encouraged them to be curious, speak their mind and be an individual. I may be paying for it now, and annoying the crap out of all you adults out there :grin01:, but I have an 18yr old son who is living on his own and supporting himself(seems to be an oddity these days) and my girls will definitely be strong minded women.
I agree that it would be easier if corporal punishment was still acceptable. There was something to be said about having the "fear" put into your backsides that kept us in line as yougsters. But as with all things the pendulum will swing back and maybe our society will hit a happy medium.
In the meantime, just remember if you don't like kids- don't have any And give all us parents a break, we have to put up with enough griping from our kids :sidestep:

More hockey fans! Woo hoo...Red Wings fan here. Can't wait for playoffs!
In regards to kids..I had both sides growing up. My dad's side was a "children should be seen and not heard" type and mom's side was very big into letting us grow into ourselves - asking questions, being curious..etc...
I think there are times for both with any child. They need to learn when to stop and listen, and know when to question.
