How to Handle Your Kids In Public
The Sweetie and I went to see How to Train Your Dragon. It would have been completely awesome except for the kid that cried and fussed almost the entire time.
Now, I'm well aware that kids don't always behave the way you want. I can get that. But if a person decides to become a parent, they should at least remember that not everyone wants to hear crying, fussing, screaming or some combination thereof for the entire run of a movie. /grumble. Just because it's a kid's movie, doesn't mean every kid is mature enough to sit through it and if the precious little munchkin is not ready, hire a babysitter. Or, take them outside if you see the back patting, shushing and/or bribing is not working. I mean, really. Is it so hard to be polite? Evidently it is.
I propose every mother and father have to go through kid training if they want to procreate. Before you can take them home from the hospital, you have to show up at the hospital with the little piece of paper. See? We've been trained on How to Handle Your Kid In Public. It won't ever happen, but I can dream, can't I? /sigh
