They spring out of the wood work and they all have horrible stories.<BR/><BR/>The worst part about kids misbehaving in public is that there are people glaring at your for not disciplining your kids, and then when you start yelling or swatting bottoms there are people glaring at you for that! <BR/><BR/>Ignoring them really is the best policy, because in the end it's all up to you how you choose to deal with your kids anyway.timpani76https://www.blogger.com/profile/02616963163699950161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677429866446480555.post-27601096585354322282009-01-22T12:43:00.000-08:002009-01-22T12:43:00.000-08:00Well Renae, if you weren't just a "breeder" having...Well Renae, if you weren't just a "breeder" having children so you can indoctrinate them on your hate, and/or milk the welfare system for all it's worth, you wouldn't have that problem. I love how people act like having more than 2 kids makes you a blight on society (ok, I stopped at 2, but that was a personal choice, I think people should have as many children as they can care for or want). Those people would say they would never have 5 children, and therefore would never have to try living in your shoes. You know you're an awesome mom. I dunno, I'm pretty good at shrugging off stuff like that, maybe even to the point of being slightly oblivious. As long as I'm minding my own business, I never have to notice the glares I get when my "angels" misbehave.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10997346747438945283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677429866446480555.post-43567983469325683712009-01-22T08:09:00.000-08:002009-01-22T08:09:00.000-08:00I feel for you!

"You say that NOW, but when you have a baby, you'll feel differently." This is concerning things like homeschooling, not working, having lots of kids, etc. Drives me bonkers.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12647745639114002845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677429866446480555.post-9680241712884459032009-01-21T17:25:00.000-08:002009-01-21T17:25:00.000-08:00I don't think it's people wishing their kids' prob...I don't think it's people wishing their kids' problems on you.

As you can see they are still alive today. My guess is that I keep a pretty good eye on them." I bet you anything old people glaring at you when the children throw a fit either have never had any themselves, or forgot how their own children behaved. There's no real point in getting worked up over these people, who are they really? Nobody to you, so who cares?Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10997346747438945283noreply@blogger.com
