Ever wanted to smack someone else's kid? Don't lie...
Don't get us wrong, we love kids. And as much as we respect everyone's personal parenting skills, there comes a time when all of us want to tell someone "Please tell your kid to stop screaming!". Picture those many moments you were on a plane or in the supermarket and some kid just threw a tantrum and their parents just ignored it, leaving the rest of the population to suffer. It sucks though because it's not your position to say something, but we can't help but wonder what is going through those parents' minds when they ignore their kid creating total havoc while out in public?
We can only imagine the stress that they go through everyday of their lives and the lack of sleep in possibly years...but then again, when we asked the mothers here at S&H, they answered that they'd never let it get to that point because it drives them crazy when other people's kids are chaotic and loud and the parents don't bother doing anything...well that's fair!
So for those parents that just sit there quietly while their kid whines and whines over chipsy and knocks shit over, we wonder...since you're lack of taking action with your whining child is causing us physical pain, isn't it fair that we get to say something?
