Thing is, I got in trouble for herding a nursing mother (no blanket) off the stage in Texas a few years back and, as such, refuse to endanger my job with any sort of recordable confrontation with the hippie parents who think the speaking platform looks like a changing table (they're not wrong, it kinda does).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694281951682950051.post-77781468113013904272010-04-05T18:04:56.023-04:002010-04-05T18:04:56.023-04:00I can see the Demotivational poster now:

Yeah, see I never said I...@ "Anonymous",<br /><br />Yeah, see I never said I hate the kids. As I remarked in my first comment, it's selfish parents that are the problem. The kids are just being kids. While some toddlers may dig the cars, eventually they will all grow tired of it before the parents are ready to leave. This is where the problems with tantrums and children running amok tend to begin. These parents need to learn/accept that they are there only so long as the kids want to be there. <br /><br />And, like the lady said, there are no good excuses anymore for changing a diaper in public wherever one wants.Charlesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694281951682950051.post-81566273425892970612010-02-23T10:17:18.355-05:002010-02-23T10:17:18.355-05:00Charles, You make very good points in your second...Charles, You make very good points in your second post. The fact of the matter is that if your children don't behave and you can't keep them in line then you should stay home. However I believe we live in a very awesome culture and keeping my well mannered children at home is a disservice to them and the society they will grow up in. Exposing them to these awesome automobiles (and wonderful restaurants) will help them learn to respect the rest of society instead of just growing up watching TV. For the record my kids LOVE cars. All of them (the toddlers and then 10 year old) are car nuts just like me. Trust me when I say they would have a blast at any car show. And if they were to be a problem that I couldn't control and keep from ruining anyone else's fun I would gladly leave to resolve the situation.<br /><br />The problems you hate most are not the kids. It's the parents. Getting run over by a stroller isn't a kid's fault it's the parents. And when the kids don't know how to not scream or throw spaghetti again it's not the kid's fault. It's the parents. The problem these days (as DYCWTC pointed out in her latest post) is the poor parenting so many people are showing these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694281951682950051.post-20360610095058474412010-02-20T09:33:59.953-05:002010-02-20T09:33:59.953-05:00Great, well in that case, let's everyone wave ...Great, well in that case, let's everyone wave their kids naked bodies in front of web cams. *insert eye roll here*Do You Come with the Car?https://www.blogger.com/profile/13678001737124941327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694281951682950051.post-39661875483130304542010-02-20T05:48:08.906-05:002010-02-20T05:48:08.906-05:00'Do you know what the chances are that one of ...'Do you know what the chances are that one of them is a pervert? Pretty high, trust me on that. Do you realize you're taking a pretty big chance that one of them is going to snap a pic of your kid's junk?'<br /><br />That's an extremely provocative and dangerous comment. I work with young people and specialise in internet safety and engagement through technology, and know all too well the consequences that can arise from such a statement.<br /><br />I also know that the percentage of sexual predators who might pose a danger to children and young people is *far* lower than the media would have you believe; propagating ideas to the contrary only tends to make things worse in the long term, as people tend to avoid seeking work in the caring professions for fear of being labelled negatively.

If you think for a minute that web-savvy pedophiles don't log into such sites for the express purpose of getting their jollies, you're incredibly naive. As far as the health risk, people who will change their kid's diaper in the middle of an auto show are not exactly wiping the area down with Lysol afterwards - so yes, they are exposing thousands of other people to fecal-matter bourn diseases such as E Coli.Do You Come with the Car?https://www.blogger.com/profile/13678001737124941327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694281951682950051.post-16848781677064392242010-02-19T03:22:04.403-05:002010-02-19T03:22:04.403-05:00Pedophiles?

Is it for the kid or for yourself? If a getting out of the house to see a car show is so important to you that you'll drag a toddler to it, you need to revisit your priorities. My advice, take the kiddo to a park. They like parks.<br /><br />It's not that I don't sympathize, but you chose children. I haven't yet and I've had enough of strollers running up my heels and barking my shins. I'm tired of listening to babies cry during an R-rated movie. I don't enjoy getting caught in the crossfire of a tantrum-throwing, spaghetti-slinging brat at a restaurant. <br /><br />Just because you're pushing a stroller/toting a tyke doesn't give you the right to forget social niceties and behave like an all around jerk. When I do have children, you can be damn sure I'll put them first and avoid adult places until they're old and well-behaved enough to appreciate them.Charlesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694281951682950051.post-8547060109845906642010-02-18T14:51:51.440-05:002010-02-18T14:51:51.440-05:00lol :) I hear what your saying.

No car shows until your offspring are old enough not to shit themselves or scratch expensive paint jobs. No movies until they can keep their traps shut. No restaurant dinners 'til they can sit quietly and eat something harder than strained peas. The truth is that most of the time you are being a bad parent and putting your own needs before your child's. As soon as you have a kid you lose the right to be selfish. That's all there is to it. No debate. Your kid would rather be home with his/her toys, special blankie and friends. So quit dragging them to places you want to be.<br /><br />You want to get out of the house sooner than that? Well then, either get a sitter/sap/Grandma and/or teach your kids manners at an earlier age. Bottomline, it's just rude and totally asinine to expect the rest of us to write you a free pass and put up with your smelly, ill-mannered brat. <br /><br />Yep, I'm one of those real rotten, selfish pricks who're sick of other people's "little blessings" infringing upon my right to have a good time as a child-free adult.Charlesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694281951682950051.post-76041557989241141402010-02-17T20:02:29.839-05:002010-02-17T20:02:29.839-05:00I'm a dad, too, and I've never been anywhe...I'm a dad, too, and I've never been anywhere with too few facilities for diaper changes.
