Children out of control need a good swipe accross the tail feathers as a warning and the parents need to be arrested for breaches of duty if care.....

IB,
My friend, in the US if a parent followed your policy the parent would more likely be arrested if they DID give their child a "good swipe across the tail feathers" than if they didn't.

Same here mate.. That is why we have a major juvinile crime problem. Police dare not take action unless there are numerous witnesses and property is severly dammages of an assult victim (perps being juvinile) is critical.. The courts will not deal with offenders and juvi gangs will and do come after complaintants to seek revenge...... There needs to be radical reversal of current laws and bring back the original laws which were very heavy on child protection but never gave children the power to over rule adults which is something I will never agree with or accept..... I'm in favour of boot camps which have worked here with kids turning the corner and helping other kids to become valuable members of society..

I get up and walk over to the little miscreant and calmly ask them, "What seems to be your problem here ? Is there something I can do to help you ?"

You wouldn't believe how silent the table gets and, while I may run the risk of appearing meddlesome, I think the adults at the table secretly appreciate the assist.

I vote for child-free areas. I don't have kids and don't like them. I certainly don't want to deal with them while I'm trying to enjoy my dinner (or a movie for that matter.) I will flat out ask to be moved if the hostess seats me next to children. And I'll say it loud enough that the parents can hear it too, something along the lines of "Miss,do you have a NON-CHILDREN area please." Followed by my most disdainful look at the parents. For gods sakes, if you can't afford a babysitter, you can't afford dinner out.

they probably don't want to be seated near you either.

I certainly hope they don't want to be seated near me, lol...I can't stand the nasty things! No offense to you parents but I REALLY can't stand kids in any way shape or form. I actually have sort of a neurosis. I feel VERY uncomfortable around them, especially babies and toddlers. Like, if I get too close to a baby, I have a skin crawling sensation.

If I absolutely have to touch a friends baby (to keep from hurting the friend's feelings), I spend the entire time fighting with my vomit reflex and have to immediately afterwards wash my hands and scrub them for like 5 minutes. They totally freak me out. I have a similiar reaction to pregnant women...nothing personnel, but again, my phobia kicks up around them. Might sound crazy, but it's true.

I feel about them the way some people feel about spiders or snakes...just a very strong, unrational unpleasant reaction. Keep 'em away from me! I had a master who tried to tell me once that if he wanted kids, by god he'd make me get pregnant.

I flat out told that I'd rather commit suicide than have a parasite living in my stomach.

Doesn't have anything to do with "afford" to me...........keep the kids in line and all is well..........and if they are being well behaved and you STILL give the parents that look, you're liable to get some mashed potatoes chunked at you one day.

You act like I chose to feel this way...I've been this way since I was a kid. I no more control it than I control my fear of heights. And no, I'm not normally an angry person. I actually work in law enforcement and had to pass a pretty rigorous pysch exam to get my job. I'm mostly normal and well adjusted. Just happen to have a phobia. I'm no weirder than the people who have slight obsessive disorders (like washing hands repeatedly.) It's just something I deal with. Why do you take it so personal? It has nothing to do with you.

Could be your attack of the parents in your first post for daring to take their children out in public to begin with.. because of your phobia... we should lock our kids away?...
