Kids tend to be grumpy at nap time and when they are hungry. Fast food restaurants are a more appropriate venue for someone with a kid who needs to be fed fast. However, this is another case of credibility. The owner said they had ordered pancakes for the kid. The pancakes had been served but the parents had not fed them to the child. The hungry kid would have been sitting there looking at her food. |

Some parents seem to don invisible earplugs. Maybe that's the norm in your house but in public, nope. The owner said they ordered three pancakes - three! Bigger than the child's head! And they didn't even feed them to her. They were out of her reach. The kid was hungry, what's wrong with you people? Along with those invisible earplugs they are also apparently blind. The kid can't reach the pancakes! She's hungry! What are you trying to do, torture her?! Yeah, I'm a grouchy old fart. Guess what? If I'd behaved that way on the rare occasions we went out to eat that would have been the last time. Same thing with going with her to the store. No whining, "I want this! I want that!" Going shopping with Mom was a privilege, not a right. A privilege easily taken away, and we knew it. Jill |

It suits their sense of entitlement if they can stretch the truth to make themselves appear to be innocent victims. Meanwhile, a woman in a northern community is pushing for regulations to require special restraints for children after her child was killed in an incident on a plane. |

Likely around 1990. There was a young boy seated behind me and he kept kicking the back of the seat. Annoyed backward glances didn't register with the parents. I was about to say something to them when the young man sitting next to me said, "I see you're having a problem. I'll gladly trade trade seats with you." The minute the boy started kicking the seat again he turned around and said loudly to the boy, STOP! The child stopped kicking the back of the plane seat. The parents were apparently oblivious. How you can tune that behaviour out is a mystery. Jill |

How wise are the required to be when the go to a place that is obviously designed for adult diners and someone shows up with a toddler. It is curious that some of this conversation has been widened to include older children. An older kid would have to be behaving pretty badly to be disruptive in a restaurant. Toddlers and infants can be disruptive just by doing what kids that age do.... crying. Just thinking about a family sitting in a nearby booth at a restaurant we ate in about a year ago. The teenage kids weren't loud or disruptive, but they were a study in bad manners. The mother looked like she had just come from work that likely involved a brass pole. The teenage daughter was texting or talking on her cell phone all through dinner. Father and son both had ball caps on... backwards. Gym rat father was always posed in some position to flex and show off his muscles. None of them knew how to hold a knife and fork. At least they weren't rowdy and disruptive. |

The parents probably got upset that someone dared to deal with their kid. I wonder about the reaction of a mother whose kid I spoke at a few years ago. A mother was having a hard time dealing with her kid. He was jumping up and town and crying and screaming. It would have been bad enough from a three year old but this kid was about 12. I spoke in a very loud voice "Stop whining". He stopped and looked a little stunned. The mother should have been grateful, but you know what some parents are like these days. I was probably the bully who verbally assaulted her child and who has ADHD. autiism, PTSD or something that they use as an excuse for him being a childish brat. |

Since the New Deal, Republicans have been on the wrong side of every issue of concern to ordinary Americans; Social Security, the war in Vietnam, equal rights, civil liberties, church- state separation, consumer issues, public education, reproductive freedom, national health care, labor issues, gun policy, campaign-finance reform, the environment and tax fairness. No political party could remain so consistently wrong by accident. The only rational conclusion is that, despite their cynical "family values" propaganda, the Republican Party is a criminal conspiracy to betray the interests of the American people in favor of plutocratic and corporate interests, and absolutist religious groups. Why? Because they're evil GOP *******s |

In fact I was in one last week and the truth is: kids don't scream. Maybe the complainers can't tell play on the playground equipment in the play area a lot of fast food franchises seem to have from sitting and eating. Only oldsters or the permanently child free with some kind of chip on their shoulder who venture into family friendly restaurants anyway seem to have the complaints. Basically, everything is a problem for them. -- sf |

At the very least, as an ethical Presidential Candidate, Jeb Bush would be expected to denounce pedophilia and ritual child sacrifice by his father and brother and any other Bush family members. All 2016 Presidential candidates should be questioned as to whether they have ever participated in pedophilia, ritual child sacrifice, or child trafficking, or in any of the networks that support such. A new model of the actual planetary driver of pedophile and ritual sacrifice networks The Transhumanist Agenda model of pedophilia and child abuse networks is more accurate and factual than a prior model of pedophilia that focuses sole blame on Churches [such as the Vatican] or Monarchies [such as the UK, Dutch, or Belgian Throne]. This prior model of pedophile networks actually diverts attention away from Transhumanist Agenda, which is the actual current planetary driver of pedophile and ritual sacrifice networks. |

I spend a lot of time with many grandchildren, so kids don't bother me at all, but...misbehaving kids do, so I avoid them when possible. Cheri |

I have, on at least three prior occasions, written posts that delve into the alleged lurid past of one of our former presidents, George Herbert Walker Bush (GHWB), the current but ailing patriarch of the Bush Family Dynasty I refer to them as the Bush Family Crime Syndicate, certainly not in terms of endearment but rather more like the Mafia Godfather who prepares his sons to take over the family business upon his death. This particular post references an article by Stew Webb, a contributor of Veterans Today. In his life-time, George H. W. Bush (GHWB) has controlled every clandestine (hidden from view) and secret organization/operation within the arsenal of the United States government as either 1) Director of the CIA, 2) Vice President to Ronald Reagan (who was an unwitting puppet to the Bush controlled cabal GHWB secretly gave Reagan poisons that hastened his fall into Alzheimers Disease and evidence suggests he helped plan Reagan attempted assassination by John Hinckley, whose family were close friends of the Bush family a coincidence?) and 3) ultimately as President of the United States before Bill Clinton took office. |
