So what you're saying Reese, is that taking a 2 year old child who is popping a wobbly to another area is teaching them that it's not ok to do that? Ok so you take said child to another area, and they keep bitching. Then what? You go to another spot? Then another? When does it end?
I'm not saying that a child shouldn't be removed in some circumstances and that the act of removing them doesn't work or have merit, and I used a poor analogy, however, when you don't give the act attention, it will usually calm down in less than 5 minutes. So people had to hear a toddler cry for 5 minutes. So fucking what. I fail to see how that 5 minutes has any significant impact on anyone's life.

It amazes me how many parents just shrug and act like it's no big deal!
The parents I've seen over the last 5-10 years are so spineless it's become pathetic.
Makes me more glad than ever that I never had kids - by choice. See, some of us have made good decisions regarding our mortality. (Or better yet, aren't defined by the kids every flippin' minute of every day.) I get So tired of covering for people at work who have to leave work early because little Johnny got in trouble at school, yet AGAIN.
Okay thanks, the vent is over. Whew!

Apparently, some people never grow up if a whiny kid bothers them SO much that they have to leave a store.
A child doesn't have the mental capacity that an adult has. They don't have the reasoning. An adult has the ability to admit that a child may not fully understand why it is throwing a tantrum and just ignores it. It's not spineless at all to leave a store because you heard a child crying. No, not one bit.
Some of us have made great choices in our mortality by having children. You don't like children..great.. good for you. Others may have chose to have children and that doesn't mean anyone is defined by them. We're still ourselves, but again, it's a child and cannot function as an adult. Kids will be kids.. they live and learn just as adults do, but at a different capacity and with a different viewpoint on the world. I'm sooo sick of covering people's asses at work because they are stressed or "don't feel good" or they just slack in general. Whew! Adults are just so awesome!
So yeah, while I may try to be considerate of other people when it comes to my toddler popping a wobbly, I'm not going to shed any tears if you or anyone else can't come up with the mental capacity to ignore it for 5 minutes.
