It is a prevalant problem these days. My Twins will invite a school mate over and 9 times out of 10, I will not allow them to re-invite again. Why? Because they are undisciplined children.<BR/><BR/>My brother has the same kind. He tells them something and fails to follow through. He gives in as many parents believe this makes them a good parent. I disagree, all children need discipline and a clear understanding of boundaries and set rules.<BR/><BR/>Great Post! I can relate to your frustration.TamWillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983486050778833368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13240894.post-1148947341180987252006-05-29T19:02:00.000-05:002006-05-29T19:02:00.000-05:00good god, I hope I won't be one of those parents.....good god, I hope I won't be one of those parents....that's certainly nothing my parents ever would have allowed!<BR/><BR/>I would have been tempted to have the screaming hissy fit - at least with the hopes that Roberto might have figured out that it's not always fun and games to peek into dressing rooms, even if the mother didn't.<BR/><BR/>And then, never get to back to that store, of course... :DJennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02013706135535639412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13240894.post-1148931747349324192006-05-29T14:42:00.000-05:002006-05-29T14:42:00.000-05:00That's terrible.

I don't put up with stuff like that for the sake of shopping.

The sad thing is they are worse on the weekends when they are with their parents than the weekdays with the nannies!<BR/><BR/>I've actually had to reprimand children in front of their parents for the sake of my work environment - they climb on things; I tell them no and to get down. The parents just watch me!<BR/><BR/>I may not have children, but I have sisters. It has never been acceptable to do as you like when under the age of 18. Why can't these parents teach their spoiled children some discipline?<BR/><BR/>Floated here via BlogMad.

At the very least I would have gotten a good tongue lashing.

We call they Curling kids, cause their parents sweep the way ahead of them and give these kids no guidelines at all. These kids grow up to be me, me me kids.
