Please remove your child from the premises!!!
« on: February 23, 2012, 07:09:35 PM »
Today, not sure why, but the children were misbehaving, and not in a good way...
They were fighting amonst each other(brothers and sisters) and crying tots who needed a nap desperately. Then there was this girl around 7 or 8, who had a high pitched whine that went right through me!!

Mom: No you can't have that toy!!

Child: But, but, MMmmmmmmmmmmmmmoooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmyyy!!!!!

Everyone else has one!!!!!

This went on for about 15 minutes!! I was twitching!!!

Whining can get to me like nothing else.  Sounds like it was awful.

Grrrr.  I have a co-worker who whines.  The only fun I get out of that is that I'll drop a bunch of work on her desk while others are having to work nearby and walk away.  I actually will save work up so I until others are stuck near her.  Then they get stuck with her whining.  Makes me chuckle.  Someday the others are going to figure it out and I'll be in trouble.    :-)

I remember asking my mom for candy in the checkout lane... gum, candy bars.  Stuff like that.  She said no.  That was the end of it.  My parents never had any problem taking us out to eat or shopping.  Hell, we got locked in the car while they were at the post office or pharmacy.  The world didn't end, the car didn't blow up, nobody got arrested for abuse.

My mom once smacked my brother's bare butt in a grocery store for demanding something...a lesson that affected all 3 of us.  After that, Mom's threat was all it took to silence all of us.

Try that now, and you'll go to jail.

Of course, a good parent will leave the cart behind, take the kid to the car, and administer a little judicious correction. (Just hope Wal-Mart's cameras don't catch you.)  I did that with my youngest...ONCE.  After that, her whining at the checkout was quickly solved by whispering in her ear..."Want to go to the van before I pay, or after??"   :-) :-)

I put the fear of God in my kids at a very early age. Never had a problem. Had more of a problem with morons in the stores than I did with my kids.

Once my boy needed to take a leak at the thrift store. He was 5 I think. They informed us that the bathroom was for employees only. I told them look, he's a 5 year old boy! Didin't matter.

So we walked out on the sidewalk in front of the store and he let loose against the building. They tried to make a stink, but even the manager understood when a little boy has to go, he has to go. He chewed out the stupid employee that wouldn't let him use their beloved toilet and made her go out and wipe up his puddle! Laughed my ass off!
I'm the guy your mother warned you about!

I should write a book on retail ettiquette!! Most of it will be common sense!!! I have observed afew things over the years. Some advice I would give to  parents.  If you want to go shopping, go right after a good breakfast with a small child. They are ready to begin their day. Do not spend more than necessary... 45 minutes!!! Do not bring the kids in right after school, bring them home , feed them a snack. I f you know your child is not good in a store, make a list, get in and get out!! Involve your child in the shopping, asking them about the colors on packages, if they are in preschool.bring a favored toy from home, snack and container of water. But above all else, supervise your child!!!!!!!!!!!!! More children get killed, kidnapped, or hurt, because their parents are oblivious!!!
I know children act out, they are human, however there are circumstances and prevention. Your children are well behaved, though Jess has said on occasion that Carleigh acts up. I am sure Victoria and Jeep(Gina's little ones) act up on occasion. Scoobe's children get distressed from time to time, I am sure, but everyone here is probably prepared and have good organizational skills as well...

We rarely have meltdowns in the grocery store/Walmart/Target.  Usually it's just a little whining near the Cars 2 toys at Target.  Our Walmart is set up so nicely near us, we never go past the toy section.  It's like it doesn't even exist! 

If Carleigh acts up and Heath & I are together, one of us will remove her from the situation for a little bit.  If we're in the grocery store, usually just having Carleigh help me get items off the shelves works.  She feels like a big girl and likes to pick out the food.

However, my daughter hasn't learned how to say, "BUT MOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!"  I know those days are to come and I will deal with that when we get there.  :rotf:

Whining irritates me though.  I cannot just pretend the whining isn't happening.
You may call me Jessica or Jess.

 Insanity when it comes to kids,

5 year old riding a bike on the side walk decided to cross over into the street, a big NO_NO.  went across of a car with senior citizens, they hit the bike, Daughter was thrown off bike, no problem but the drivers in the car came close to a heart attack. 

Me, I ran to insure my child was safe and after a good Round of spanking and the child sent to their room and I had to deal with the driver and passenger in the car that were ashen and having problems breathing.  Both were in in their 70's and shaking like a leaf.

Result the people driving that hit my child filed child abuses on me for spanking the child.

Years ago but the beginning of insanity for parents that correct a child other then send them to time out even if they disregard parents orders and can cause others to have  to be injured.

ARGGGGGGG what to do.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

And where does it all culminate?

I had to provide written counseling to a soldiers yesterday because she failed her 2-mile run and the test with it.

Of course she breaks downin in sobbing tears because I made her feel like a failure.

That's the point at which I hand her a tissue from the box that is pre-positioned, because I've seen that shit more than once, and continue with the counseling.

I pay no attention to the waterworks. It simply does not exist, unless the blubbering gets to the hiccup stage. At that point, I ask the miscreant to leave so she can compose herself and then to come back after that.

It's all professional, but there can be no doubt as to the message. PT failure is a fast track to being bounced out (which some of them want anyway). Happy to accommodate those folks if that's the end goal.

I ain't good with the wet-nursing shit. But if the miscreant needs extra training, that can (and usually is) arranged.

What did she expect you to do--bend the rules so she could pass?

She made herself into the failure.  I know that you know that.

I had a young female troop pull that crap on me when I told her she wasn't being recommended for promotion to E-3.  I ordered her to Parade Rest and commenced to chewing her out for losing her military bearing.  I then proceeded to write her a written counseling statement for losing her military bearing.

I didn't give a damn about her delicate little ego.

She made herself into the failure.  I know that you know that.

I think it's a defense mechanism from genuine self-critique. I'm about over it though. I'm stuck in a ****ing garrison/TDA unit. This shit has been allowed to fester for so long most of the senior leadership sees this as SOP. If I give her the smoking she so richly deserves it'll be my ass in the crack. My only saving grace is my platoon sergeant wants her out because he showed-up at 0430 to do remedial PT with her and she stood him up.

He popped a gasket.

This guy has done 1 tour with the 82nd and 2 with 19th SF (support co) an is working his way into selection. He's not in the mood for her bullshit and neither am I but I think we're bailing against the tide. Once he goes it'll be lonely for ol' SGT Bunny.

I could tell you another story but all that would do would make me ashamed I haven't killed her yet.

A counseling statement for PT test failure?  No effect on career unless she fails it in a twice in a row.  At that point the CO is required to begin separation paperwork.  At least that is how it worked in my day.
