Okay this one here is a major pet peeve for me. We had this discussion in SistahTalk! about children talking/walking/crying/misbehaving in church. I HATE IT! :slap:
When my child was young, and I didn't have a sitter, I DIDN'T GO! That's part of good parenting, sacrificing your wants, needs and desires. So DNice I don't understand that parents need to get out...when I didn't have a sitter, I stayed home with my baby.
If I walk into the theatre and I see a baby, or if someone comes in with a baby, I get up and go to the manager IMMEDIATELY and say, if that dayum child talks/cries WHATEVER, you go and ask those parents to leave immediately or I want to be refunded my money back or free tickets for another show. I DO NOT WANT MY MOVIE EXPERIENCE RUIN BY A DAYUM CHILD! Stay home dammit.
In fact the whole thing about bringing children to adult activities boogles my mind. My friend bought her 8 year old daughter to a wedding shower!! A WEDDING SHOWER! :retard:
I was serving up drinks and we were having adult conversation with 30 women and here she comes with this child. Of course it chilled the conversation! I called her in kitchen and told her she had to leave and take the child with her and she became angry. I told her that we couldn't enjoy ourselves with that little girl looking up in our mouths and that it is highly inappropriate for her to be there. The invitation was for her, not she and her child. She left in a huff and then we got back to having fun!That really burns me up! Children should not go to the movie, showers, or any activity where they are not invited and there will be adult conversation. And they need to be removed from church IMMEDIATELY if they are crying, screaming, talking out loud.
That's another pet peeve! :argue2:

Folks who are driving in the left lane and all of sudden decide they need to turn right. They slow down or stop with their blinker on trying to get over to turn. Fool! You should been ova in that lane in the first place! Don't hold me up becuase you didn't know where you were going or didn't want to be in that lane becuase it was moving slower than the left lane. Go on up ahead and turn around.
People who cut across 3 lanes of traffic on the freeway to reach thier exit that they didn't realize was right there!

We see eye-to-eye on this issue SO MUCH!!!!!
I plan to be the same way when the little one makes his arrival. Hubby and I will be making it a Blockbuster Night for a long minute, until the baby is old enough.
I don't like being inconsiderate of other folks... especially when it comes to folks coming out their pockets. Nobody pays 20 plus dollars to hear your child/baby play around or cry.

Y'all would hate me because I take my child everywhere I go UNLESS it is an occasion specifically designed for adults...
As for the movies, I don't give a rat's azz what nobody thinks about me and my chap...Out of respect I would not bring her but I find that if a person (in my case at the movies) has an issue with something I am doing, they can address me respectfully. In my case, the stringy haired white dude yelled at us...It was on then....I had no intention of leaving or moving. Not when we had sat in there so long and nobody complained. The people right next to us who SHOULD have heard her low humming, said they did not hear her. So for him to yell, I didn't care if we tore up that damn AMC 30....Act a ass with me in public, see what happens. Otherwise, my child goes where I go.
If people do not want children at weddings, receptions etc, I respect that. We don't go. Or I find a sitter. I don't find that I am inconsiderate. I find that I am caring for my child and not leaving her on others....so bump dat **** about staying home! :argue:

Now, kick my the back of my chair in a movie, WATCH HORNS GROWN FROM MY HEAD!
So I always try to sit at the top row where there are no chairs behind me. I don't like folks feet on my chair! I went to watch Hurricane alone one time. This woman continually bumped my chair. First time, I ignored it. Second time, I asked if she could watch her feet. 3rd and 4th time, the entire movie theater knew she had bumped my feet. She told me to relax it was an accident. I said, "SEE IF IT IS AN ACCIDENT WHEN I FLIP YOUR AZZ ON THIS FLO........." It got really quiet and she did not touch my seat again.
From then on, I get there early so I can sit where there is no row behind me.

In your case, I would've been upset too, if the man addressed me wrong. Hostility only brings about more hostility.
However, what things you overlook, because you're so use to, don't expect others and especially strangers to be so accepting though.
If I did take a baby to the movies with me (which I seriously doubt I would ever do) and know that the child is making noises/wants to play or is crying, I wouldn't wait for somebody to go get a manager or ask me to "control my child"--- I'll just get up, because I knew what I was walking into before leaving the house.

That's a @#$^%&* shame! Wondering why the "accident" didn't occur after you went ethnic on her @$$. I'm the same way at the movies. Your feet on my chair, I will politely ask you to move them. You want to talk or carry a conversatoin on your cell, I will politely tell you to <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008_ZSYYYYYY85US' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/im/stfu.gif' alt='Shut The F*ck Up' border=0></a>!

My wife and I take our kids many places with us. We want to make sure they are well rounded and know how to act in different environments. BUT there were some places we knew were not appropriate for them. Trying to keep them still in church was impossible. Same goes with weddings, movies, graduations, funerals, etc... We simply stayed home or found things to do that were age appropriate for the little ones. As they get older we are able to expand our entertainment choices.

Spots, I said I understood not agreed. But I agree with your statements. :tup: :wavey:
As I stated earlier, I'm not a fan of kids being in Rated R, or adult themed movies. A while back I went to see Nutty Professor 2, and this kid was throwing popcorn on me from the row behind me. I addressed his parent in a nice way, and the parent told me that I was mistaken, that his kid wouldn't do that. Now mind you I'm showing him the popcorn in my lap, and I didn't have any to spill on myself, but his kid is behind me with a whole tub of popcorn.
I said OK, not your kid, but let another muthaphuggin kernel hit me, and watch what happens to the kid behind me. If you won't handle it, I will. Needless to say, no more popcorn came flying over the seat, but the whole situation wouldn't have been called for had that kid been well behaved, and better yet. Not there.
J4J, if there's one thing that gets me more p'd off in a theater other than some muthaphugga wanting me to move over to the next seat, or a crying child, is somebody kicking my seat.
If you want to see me act an arse, kick my seat after I ask you not to do it. That's part of the reason I don't like kids sitting behind me, because of all of that bottled up energy they have, sooner or later they will have to do something.
Wheew, it's glad to know that I'm not the only one that needed to vent. Spots and Nita y'all better be careful, someone may think you guys have been hurt. :emlaugh:

It pisses me off when I'm out of vodka, but I didn't drink it all.
I hate always having to FIND isht, because mofos don't like LOOKING. I do believe I am the ONLY person in my house with the ability to LOOK for something.
Why do people always preface foolishNESS with, "I ain't trying to start no mess, BUT ..."BYTCH, yestf you ARE trying to start MESS ... take that shat elsewhere?
It irritates me that people think I should make all the stupid requests I possibly can in my building, just because I have a good relationship with my principal.
Um, if you think my opinion might piss you off, then DON'T ASK IT OF ME! :redhot:
Vinita said:Additionally, hearing, "What do you mean?" makes me wanna pop a mofo in the mouth.
"I can't find my keys."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, you can't find them?"
"It's over."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, it's over?"
"I think I'm pregnant."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, you think you're pregnant?"
"I got a speeding ticket today."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, you got a ticket?"
Any more questions Ms Lady?
:redhot:
DAMN! I mean wtf I said!!
What was your question again? :wavey:

DNICE: Mike knows when we get there, he'll say let's get this row...the one with no row behind it! Hee hee!
Cat Daddy: I understand what y'all are saying and I am glad it can work for you that way. My child is usually well behaved but she humms. If I see it is bothersome to folks, I will do whatever I can to make it better. My only pet peeve is if an IDIOT tells me something stupid like yell at me....the NIGRESS will come out of me and they'd never wish they met me. However, if they kindly ask if I can step out or do whatever it is to help them be more comfortable, I DON['T MIND. I just get T'd at people who don't like children and they act an azz with me.

Now you getting ready to muscle up somebody's child,
Yall need to open up a etiquette shop........ "Don't Get Your Azz Whooped" :lmao:
JD, I'm an upstanding, law adiding citizen (sometimes), and though I may annoy some, I treat everyone with respect until they show me otherwise, regardless of race, religion, or gender. However if you take me there, dat Magnolia Project will come out of me. I don't care where I am, or what I'm doing, dat 3rd ward resides in me, sort of like David Banner, and The Incredible Hulk.
It was sad that it got to that point, but it p'd me off even more that the guy didn't even bother to ask his kid if he did it, or not. He just blew it off as my kid wouldn't do that.
Me being the guy I am, I didn't tell the kid to stop, I talked to his parent first, but after doing that I see why the kid did the things he was doing, because his parent let him get away with it.
So if you have a kid, and I bring something to your attention that your kid is doing to me, and you do nothing to correct the problem, then I will. It's just as simple as that, and I'm willing to take it further if you have any problems.
NICE
