Kids Should Not Be Allowed in Public

Ok, so maybe my title is a little harsh, but it seems that no matter where I go in public I have to deal with kids who are not disciplined and were never taught how to behave themselves in public. On Saturday we were in Super Target and I was pushing the cart down an aisle where two kids were standing and they did not move over even though they saw me coming. They completely ignored me and did not move. They were between 7 and 10 years old and no parents were around either. So, now, besides knowing the parents didn’t teach their kids manners they also are not informed about child kidnapping or pedophiles. Folks, we live in a big city filled with pedophiles and kidnappers, so it might be wise to be near your kids in a Super Target. Of course their rudeness annoyed me. On that same day we were at Rock Bottom around 5pm for some drinks and I got up to go to the bathroom, but to my surprise I didn’t know the women’s bathroom is a playground for unruly brats! The bathroom was filled with 5 girls between the ages of 5 and 10 running around slamming doors, looking under the stalls and playing in the water. This was all done with yelling and screaming and of course the parents are not in the bathroom with them. Where were they? Probably sitting at their table thinking their children are behaved enough to use the bathroom alone, but they were completely wrong. These girls were monsters! These are only two examples of what happened this past weekend, but I find myself running into this behavior almost every time I leave my house. You know how they have smoking sections at most places? I propose having children/family sections in restaurants, hotels and of course airplanes. This would make my life easier. Maybe you can’t ban children from public places or segregate them, but maybe parents should go back to the good old days of beating (uh, I mean, spanking) their children instead of being afraid of discipline because it might leave a psychological scar that can’t be removed! That’s crap because I got spanked and I turned out just fine! Hopefully I didn’t offend any kid lovers or parents out there, but I am tired of bratty and misbehaved children roaming the earth.
