You brought up the whole “it takes a vlgiale to raise a child” thing and I’ve always agreed with this but it’s now an old saying that doesn’t have a place in todays’ society (sadly). Mostly because of what things have become. Before if a kid was screaming and throwing a tantrum a neighbor could come out, tell them to stop and say ‘go find your mother’ or whatever. But now if someone goes up to a screaming kid and asks what’s wrong, people get super upset about it. (I’m more concerned about how we’re not allowed to talk to random people anymore because everyone is a rapist with a gun or something.) It’s like as a society we have decided that isolationism is where it’s at and people can’t feel as free to interact with other peoples children as freely as they might have before. The truth is, things are totally different today from what they were before. So help from the community is done through passive non-interactive mediums. Signs prohibiting children. Warnings from the city. Whether or not a child is special needs has nothing to do with it, in my mind. Because my mom works with delayed adults and she has always taught me that you treat people like people- you don’t treat anyone differently. So if someone comes up and smacks you, you don’t just let them get away with it because they’re delayed, or it might hurt their feelings, etc. So when I go into a store or restaurant and a kid is screaming and throwing an epic tantrum and their parent is on their phone or just ignoring it (I am not saying this is what you do!), that kind of thing really bothers me. It seems like a (relatively) new trend to just “let kids get it out of their system.” You brought up how we all go through that stage as children and the thing is, I definitely went through that stage as a child and I also went through a stage where I got spanked, taken out to the car, put in a time out and so on. My stepsiblings didn’t and that stage never ended for them. They are grown ups, supposedly members of society but they still think that if they throw loud enough tantrums they can get what they want. I do understand where you are coming from- you shouldn’t be discriminated against for having children and nobody should be discriminated against when they want to spend money somewhere, since their money is as good as anyone elses.The rules should really be that anyone disruptive shouldn’t be allowed anywhere, ever. Because I’ve had more evenings out ruined by loud obnoxious guys wanting to show off to people than I have by screaming kids.
