Strangers disciplining your kids...

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids…

Parents who let their kids misbehave and expect others to change their homes and schedules to cater to spoilt children really annoy me. They aren’t doing their kids any favors. The kid is just going to have a harder time adjusting socially and understanding what’s appropriate and what’s not appropriate because they were never told.

Generally, I will tell kids if they are doing something wrong. I try to avoid the scolding tone, unless it’s repeated. Kids know who means it and who doesn’t, and they will push their limits, so parents have to help define those limits. If the parents aren’t going to do it, I will. :devil:

I just know that I’m gonna get hell-raisers as children after ranting like this. :bummer:

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids...

Oh that's not what I am saying at all, nice try. :D [edit: Oh just so that you don't play the deflection game to cover your inept handling of the situation, I am not defending nor condoning the mother's lack of control nor the children's poor behavior].

Let me make it easy for you: you could've handled the children without boo-hoo'ing to their mommy. Some guppans have already mentioned some tactics. They work.

7 yr/olds are pushing you around. Tsk tsk. :D :D :D

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids...

Shweatz, you shud have told the Mom that kids are annoying you and then if she didn't do anything, do the disciplining.

I do get offended if someone tries to discipline my kids without speaking to me.

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids…

LI: dont u have a PCG or a nia khan to bother these days? :rolleyes:

Iconoclast the mommy saw everything and clearly she didnt give two hoots. plus she was scary looking :cb:

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids...

totally....wait'll they enter the real world where mommy wont be there to tell them everythings ok!

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids…

^Or high school, when their teachers have to deal with their brattiness. :bummer:

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids…

ShweetDreamz how old are u? Anyway if I were you this is what I would’ve done:
once I knew that I’m being pushed around on purpose by spoilt 7-year-old brats.. I’d entice the kids to follow me around in a “nukkar” so they’re outta their mommy’s sight.. then I’d give each o’ them a good paddling and tell them to tell nothing about it to their mommy or else I’ll give them a “gentler” :rolleyes: (you know what I mean) punishment :smiley:

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids…

Why didn’t you ask your mommy to sort things out with the bullies and their mommy? :hehe:

mommy…mommy those kids are mean :omg:

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids...

On a side note, you must be looking absolutely ravishing to those 2 girls and they might be trying to gain your attention (albeit in an unconventional way!).

Instead of trying to shove them away, you could have talked a bit to them and matter would have been resolved amicably.

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids...

should have had a full glass of water and spilled it on them when they 'accidentally' bumped into you. :)

I prefer direct approaches, I am either going to the parent, or I am taking charge.

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids...

Here's a situation for u folks..

what do you do when someone is bullying your child and the mother will not do anything??

When i was a kid, my parents told me to beat up anyone who bothered me. Alot of kids did pick on me/were mean/etc me but unforutnately I was never able to stand up to any of it.

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids…

I personally think the mum needed a slap if she was ignoring this bahaviour. It pisses me off bad when kids act like brats right in front of the parents and they say nothing. Discipline ur freakin kartoot or i’ll give em a backhander! :rolleyes:

Its so damn hard… I’ve seen this behaviour so many times, kids acting like complete jerks and parents sitting there doing nothing!, and u just sit their quiet, khoon kay ghoont pee kay… :stuck_out_tongue: cos u know, they’ll take offence to it… but serously, this is something for parents to realize themselves.

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids...

If the kids bumped into me once and laughed, I'd brush it off thinking, "dumb kids." But another time and I'd take them by the ear to their mothers and have a word with them. It's totally the parent's responsibility to train their children properly. Unfortunately most kids are a reflection of their parents.

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids...

For me, whatever my kid does outside, with strangers is very important. Because it shows how you're raising the kids at home.
If he's doing anything naughty I try to stop him from doing that. Not that I scold him or punish him infront of others, just try to talk to him and ask him to say sorry to the other person. If he refuses to do so, I tell him strictly to sit with me, and I appologize to the other person myself.

I do get defensive when others try to decipline my kid. But not when he's being really naughty. Because in that case, I dont let the others decipline him, i take care of the situation myself, before anyone else complains.

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids…

stop acting all shilpa shethy :rolleyes:

God ! 7 year old ? shweetdreamz you are a chicken.

Children even younger than 7 bother me all the time, and i bother them even more so they eventually stop bothering me :dixsi:

Easy sollution, if some kids are getting on your nerves then stop being SarRial and simply turn over to their side. hey girls idhar aao sab mil ke maza kartey hian :hula: and then have fun and afterwards..

wo ju handsome uncle hain brown trouser and blue polo shirk main unko ye paper de aao :wink:

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids...

Ok another question.. everyone keeps saying "parents'll get offended."..i wanna ask. WHY? I mean, why do you care if they get offended? Why are you so afraid of "hurting" their feelings? If they're so stupid that they can't control their kids when they're being idiots right in front of them, then why shud u care if the parents get offended or not?

This is one thing I hate abt desis....they dont discipline their kids coz they th ink "haww haii, abhi baccha hai, let him/her play"..

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids...

ok so all the parents saying i should have taken them by the ear to the mom....would you guys say the same if for example it was your kids that were bothering someone and the person really did slap your kid?

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids…

Ok I dont’ mean to be rude, so i apologize in advance if what I say comes off as being mean or tasteless…

but how can you tell if a child is developmentally disabled (is that the right phrase?) :konfused:

For example, I was at a Quran-khani a few weeks ago and there was this lady sitting there reading..and her son just kept bothering her, she didn’t say anything to him, just kissed him on the forehead and said “go play”..but teh way he was acting was really annoying..and then I thought, what if hes ..ermmm… “special”…:bummer: Either she was just being one of the mothers who sits there and does nothing whle her kid acts out, or she was being extra patient with him :confused:

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids…

i miss pinstripe danda and dope. now those guys knew how to make fun of people. they were the real deal. this dude is as runny as “lussi” compared to them. and LI used to be funny once upon a time. maybe its the old age. :cb:

Re: Strangers disciplining your kids...

Well, if parents give you permission..then whats the problem..i would take full advantage of it :D
