The way some people talk to their children

GinkeezGinkeez member
in 2nd Trimester

I was just at Wendy's (getting a Frosty, of course) and there was a woman with her son, who was maybe 3 or 4 years old.  She kept telling him to "Shut up.  Shut up."  Then she made him throw away a cupcake he wanted to eat.  He got upset, but I never heard a peep from him.  She starts saying, loudly "Shut up!  Shut the F*** up!"  And he was just wimpering and trying to not to make a sound. 

It drives me crazy.  If she's willing to do that in public, what do you think she does when they are not around other people?  Like it's difficult to find some other way to talk to your child. 

Why do those people get to breed...and create more people just like them?  It makes me so mad.  All these good people that struggle to have kids, but those kind of people seem to procreate with no problem.

    WOW!

    I know that if my children were present while she was using such language, I would have gone over to her and said something!

    HOW RUDE

    That's why I believe people in strong supportive marriages who have supportive families should have lots of kids, so we can out populate the horrible people in society. If we don't then one day they will far out number us and what a scary world it will be!

    DH and I plan on have 5-6 natural born kids and adopting another 4-5.

    This exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

    I take the bus & train to work (parking in center city is way too expensive) and people never cease to shock me when they speak to their kids. This one woman had 3 kids (two toddlers and one infant) on the bus. First of all the infant only had on a diaper - nothing else, and she was talking on her cell phone as her infant was dangling from her arm with no support. The two toddlers were playing with each other (acting like normal toddlers but not disruptive to any other passengers) and the woman tells them "STFU - I'm on the phone!" and then when they start giggling a few minutes later she slapped them both across the face - HARD!

    Everyone on the bus was in shock!

    It's heartbreaking isn't it? Now that I have one of my own it makes me realize what a piece of crap that person must be to talk to a child like that. I never want my son to hurt, let alone be the one to make him hurt.

     I too ride the bus to downtown and see the same thing.  It's disgusting.  I can't believe how many people are willing to treat their children that way.  There are so many more productive and less abusive ways to correct your kids.

    I agree that once you have a child it is harder to believe what people do to their kids.  I was always sensitve, but some things I read in the news just make me bawl.  Unbelievable.   My daughter is 7, and I recently read a story about a man that was trying to hire someone to kill a 7 year old and her mother.  Turns out he sexually assaulted the girl and didn't want her to testify against him.  I just picture my daughter.  It's disgusting.  These people are disgusting.

    Wow!  Poor little boy!  I don't think it's appropriate to talk to your child like that, but especially in public because it adds public humiliation.  DD is going through a phase where she is constantly interrupting us when we talk, but we don't talk to her like that.  We just look her in the eye and tell her we are talking and to wait her turn.

    Do you determine who are the ones mighty enough to help populate the earth?

     What that mother did was uncalled for and I feel sorry for her son.

    Oh my goodness it must be Wendy's lol. DH and I were having dinner a few weeks back and there was a kid around 11-12 in there with his mom and dad. I am assuming by the conversation the kid said something disrespectful because all of a sudden we heard the dad yelling "YOUR PUSHING ME!!! YOU REALLY WANT IT, DON'T YOU?" at this point the kid is just crying not saying a word... and then it comes the dad yells "THIS IS WHAT YOU GET" as he pours the extra large coke all over the boy. 1. Mom says and does nothing 2. the poor boy was shattered. I wanted to hug him so bad.

    People are horrible. Scares me sometimes that I am bringing a child into this.

    Some people just don't care!  I don't even think it's okay to tell a child 'shut up' unless you've just reached your wits end!  One of my cousins was cursing at her son like 'go downstairs and get the f'n soda, I know your a** sees it'!  Wow!!!!!  Note to self 'don't take any parenting tips from her'!

    We were in the check out at Walmart the other day, and a lady and boy about 6 or 7 was walking by and DH said "See that little boy?"  I asked if he meant the one with the big red mark on the side of his head just under his hairline (there was another little boy nearby as well).  He said yes, and he said when he took DD to the bathroom, he saw the boy trip on the wheel to the cart his mom was riding (it was one of those electric ones) and she slapped him across the head.  I couldn't believe that mark was still that prominent because DH took DD to the bathroom at least 20 minutes before that, as soon as we got to the store, and we had completed our shopping and looked at several other things.  Poor kid.  I told DH if I had been standing there I probably would have made some comment about it.
