Thread: We've all said it.

I know I have said it to mysef, and even "kidded" mean spiritedly about it to family or friends I was with....but to actually slap a strangers child? This guy is so amazingly lucky this was not my family.

Stranger accused of slapping crying child at store - Yahoo! News

Wow....... I totally agree with yah there smokelaw if that were my family on the recieving end there would be 2 people being charged.... makes me wonder what the womans response/action was....

It was probably Mark.

Dead honky

Everytime I come across this situation where you have the annoying child, I ask myself if I should slap the kid or the negligent parent. Its funny, just an hour ago I went to the corner convenience store to get my coffee and another woman and I were talking about ill disciplined brats, we both talked about back in the day when anybody could punish a kid. I remember one instance in my life where a person in the nieghborhood reddend my backside, I went and told my dad, he went to see them and when he came back I got it again. Whats the matter with kids these days? Their parents!

We have a sign on the door of the tattoo shop,"No Children, No Exceptions". The reason being that we feel it isn't a suitable enviorment and because many people don't ride herd on their kids but let them run wild.

A two year old crying isn't unusual IME and if a stranger hit my 2 year old I'd knock his block off if he was Mike Tyson.....in which case I'd get a stick.

+1 from me...

I always remember the single scariest statement my Mother would make "If you insist on crying, I will give you a reason to cry" That shut me right up as soon as I was old enough to comprehend what she meant...
