he said that he did repremand his kid.no parent can ever prevent a kid from acting out, or yelling, because kids are fucking unpredictable.all a parent can do is act as fast as possible to stop it, which he said he did.

I think you're really taking Metal out of context here. He was saying that he always does his best to control his daughter's outburst because not only do they embarrass him, but he knows that if he was there without his kids and there was a kid acting up he would expect their parents to control them and would be annoyed if they weren't. He even said it annoyed him that the waitresses were telling him not to control his daughter because they thought she was cute. He's obviously trying to teach his daughter the proper way to behave in a social setting, but kids can only be expected to do so much

Let me ask you Pat, why is it pretty much everyone else here understood my point perfectly, yet you're only focusing on the individual sentences which you feel further your debate with me? Read the whole statement before you comment, or perhaps I should post in a different language, one you are more comfortable with.

In any event, this isn't the dark ages where children are pets or property to be dragged around or put on display. They are evolving adults, and as such, need to learn socially acceptable behavior...which is exactly the lessons I am trying to teach my children. That it is NOT acceptable to run around a restaurant....it is NOT ok to yell in public places...that they SHOULD be able to sit down to eat a meal...that if they can't act respectully they won't have friends as they get older....etc, etc.

My comment regarding kids movies pertains to the time of the movie, not the subject of the movie. Again, I can usually predict my child's behavior patterns at certain times during the day. As such, if there is a movie she wants to see, I will take her to an earlier show. Why you ask? Well, even if you don't, I'm gonna tell you. First is that the audience should be mostly children and of course a parent, I hope, at the earlier shows. Secondly, the later it gets, the more tired my daughter gets and the more likely she is to act out. Therefore, she will become a spectacle and embarrass both herself and me, she won't enjoy the movie, and quite frankly, she won't see the end of the movie, because I will remove us from that situation and bring her home. Done and done!

But please, tell me again why children shouldn't have any rights.....I find that statement fascinating.
