Man smacks someones child in a store for crying

[Correction]

Yeah the nerve of some people, bringing children to Walmart instead of paying a babysitter to leave them at home...wait, they have the money right? They can do this every time a child is fussy so they don't have to inconvenience other shoppers with sounds right?

[Ivve]

Your last sentence is so completely absurd, I don't know how to respond to it.

My neighbor has had to bring her kid home and ask me to babysit him because he was behaving so uncontrollably in public. I think it's either people with good kids or no consideration for others who think that's an absurd thing to say.

All the times I've been in a wal-mart and thought to myself "lady, if you don't shut that kid up, I'll slap the shit out of him/her"..... this man is my hero.

You bitter old loner you!

I wonder who this old guy would have hit if he was shopping at the Wal-Mart in Compton around some loud, obnoxious nagas.

Point in case this little bitch wouldn't have done shit but duck his head and move on.

Sorry, I don't have a babysitter on demand. And really, other than restaurants, how long are you near the same person in a store like wal-mart? Two minutes?

Every neighborhood that leans heavily on walmart is all about friendly neighbors! Everyone lives on motherfucking Sesame Street, right?

It all depends. If you're standing in line at the pharmacy, the deli, or the check out, you might be around those people for a while depending on how busy it is. My question is why would you not take your child outside or away from the situation to talk to them or calm them down if they're misbehaving or throwing a screaming tantrum for more than a few minutes? Why can you not choose to go to walmart at a time when you can leave your child home with the other parent or a friend or relative? What is at walmart that you need with such dire urgency that it can't wait? The trip there and back would probably take significantly less time if you didn't have the kid with you anyway. Do you really have nobody in your life that can watch your child for 30 minutes or so? So much for everyone else being a bitter loner.

Oops, you're right! Every parent in the world is totally alone and has no resources outside themselves. My mistake.

The greater question is why do we always blame other people for frustrating situations. This retard obviously took control of the situation but it exposed his weakness, I guarantee if dad was there he would have just raged in his head but he decided to view the woman as weak and second class and struck her child.

The greater issue here isn't babies crying in public places, everyone deals with levels of discomfort in life, if it was perfect it wouldn't be called life. There's always going to be babies crying, loud trucks, construction, and various other ambient noise that people are going to find displeasing that are on some level capable of being controlled.

Bottom line is people need to get over it and deal with each other and not flip shit over every tiny ( and this instance was a drop in the ocean ) little noise that grates on them.

Sorry Ivve, you're in the wrong here doll.

Never had this problem.

[Mizango]

99 problems but my kid aint one etc..

lolol

[Correction]

Gosh if only there were some logical middle ground that described reality, where not every single parent with a screaming child in a public place is some wantonly dumb and inconsiderate lout and simply wants to get their business done and leave quickly like any normal human being.

Surely devices such as exaggeration could not be used to illuminate such realities! Nope, innarnet arguments always describe the best possible choices we all have, like babysitters, friendly neighbors or taking kids away and spending all that free time we have calming them down somewhere privately.

Parents also have schedules and itineraries. Not everyone has the time to take a kid out and placate to their needs for 15 minutes. Not everyone has someone they can count on to watch their kid for 30 minutes while you run errands either. I'm sure very few do actually. Hell, not even everyone has a 2nd parent that their child can be left at home with(this is what we do when we go to wal-mart most of the time, one stays at home, other goes). It has nothing to do with being a loner, and when you have kids, you'll understand. Just because you have friends or relatives that live near you doesn't mean they have the time or the patience to keep your kid for you every time you have to go out in public, especially in impromptu circumstances.

This calls for a new invention.

Noise proof pram. Maybe some kinda pod shaped thingy that shuts sound from coming out.

I can see this selling by the millions.

[TT]

Lol, I want to see the faces on everyone siding with the man when some stranger comes up to your kid when he/she cries in a store and smacks them, not once, but 5 times. And if you think you are going to be some super hero parent that is going to create a mutant form of ultra child that is unable to cry or whine in a store then lol again. You are going to be busy, you may not have 15 minutes to take your child aside, your children will embarrass you.

When/if you have kids you are really going to have a huge reality check.

Children cry sometimes for no understandable reason. Since there is no back story to why for all we know the child was sick and the mother was shopping for some medicine.

But most likely, she was just crying cause she wanted something and wasn't getting it.

The bottom line is that there is no justifiable reason to hit another's kid, he has no excuse. While the mother has many possible excuses for having her child uncontrollably cry.

[FallingHigher]

Haha wow guess that guy just snapped.

Was the parent in the op's article trying to calm her child down? Not that I endorse what the guy did but it can be sometimes hard to get a toddler to stop crying but it's just dumb if the parent doesn't try to do anything about it.

Usually when I'm in a public place and a toddler/kid is crying and making a noise I just stare daggers at the parent/s in question if they're standing there not doing anything. Not saying that all these people are bad parents, just that a small percentage are sometimes lazy and inconsiderate.

No, life isn't going to be perfect, but why would you not try to minimize the frustration and annoyance to other people? If I put my dog in the back yard to run around and get his energy out but he spends half an hour barking his head off and annoying my neighbors, it's just rude. I could have taken him out on a leash for a walk or done a number of other things to exercise that energy out of him without burdening the people around me with my decision to own a dog.

If your child is throwing a raging, screaming temper tantrum in a store... Why would you allow them to rage rage on for 10+ minutes? When does it become ridiculous? When does your comfort and convenience start taking priority over everyone else's, and when does that stop? At what point do we draw the line? Parents are not gods among people; they do not magically deserve more consideration than the rest of us just because they're dragging a line of children along behind them.
