Is it okay to scream “SHUT UP, JUST SHUT UP!” at someone else’s kid? No? Okay.

I don’t know – sometimes a well timed “Shut-the-fuck-up!” can be so satisfying. But I guess somewhat inappropriate if you hurl it at an innocent (?) child.

Good job Braden, keep up the good work dude.

Suze’s last blog post..I’m Not A Whinger, But…

Braden totally rulels!!!

Last weekend we were in the video store & a woman leaned down and said hi to my kid in a very condescending way (way too much makeup, perfume to make you choke, fake smile, one of those people you can just tell hates kids, and so… why even bother stopping to say hi to him?). Colin looked at her and HISSED. Like a cat. I’ve never seen him do that before. It was hilarious. I managed not to laugh.

LMAO! That was not the ending I was expecting!

Sometimes I am afraid that our neighbors will yell “SHUT UP” at our two little girls. They like to sing while they are swinging on the swings. Loudly. Very loudly. Worse… they like to sing Christmas Songs… in May. LOUDLY. But they ARE happy.

It’s so great when you can get your child to do the dirty work for you. It’s better than doing it yourself for both the comic value and the aI sbility to look all like, “hey it wasn’t like it was me screaming…just my kid”.

Good thing Braden knew what to do there.

Go Braden!
Ya know, lately I’ve seen this attitude that we shouldn’t call kids brats, or say we don’t like certain kids or that they’re annoying. Well, I disagree. Some kids are annoying little shit-heads and there’s nothing wrong with stating that truth!

Dear Braden, Good job man. Good job. Just know that that was probably one of the few times in your life where you will actually be able to stand up to a woman and live to tell the tale. Just consider this fair warning. Pick your targets carefully.

Sarcastic Mom Says: Ahh, good point! I never even thought of the cat thing – I was too busy wishing her lips would stick together permanently. Can you just imagine the cat hiding behind a bush somewhere, cringing, with its little paws together, praying to God for lighting to strike her?

Rock on Braden, dude…

Most likely she was startled to hear another voice and that shut her up. My kids do it to the kids at the playground here. Those kids are obnoxious, though, and end up telling my little ones to “Shut the **** up” o.O

Nice.

I wish people would teach their kids not to scream unless they really needed to (i.e. a stranger is offering them candy). That’s how I grew up – you can make noise but no screaming or yelling “help” unless you mean it. Do you think that’s unreasonable?

The kids in my neighborhood are always SCREAMING when they play. It always sounds like someone is getting killed out there. So I would never know, for example, if Lotus had finally had enough and was coming after them with duct tape….

Good for Braden! The little girl next door to us broke my car window out…..

LOL! That’s hilarious!

Ya know, I totally tell the neighbor kids to go away sometimes. They are like little bees…buzzing all around and annoying the heck out of me. They have no boundaries. So I say – you all need to go to your house; the kids can’t play right now. But unfortunately #1 had decided that playing with the #4 (yes, 4) from across the street is fun…egads!

Tara’s last blog post..Colin’s Surgery

My kids are loud like that. I can’t stand it. I’m usually the one yelling, “Shut the hell up!” The neighbors probably hate me more than my kids.

Mrs. Schmitty’s last blog post..2008 Blogger’s Choice Awards

I just noticed that you can reply to your comments directly on your site now! Wow, I’m slow.

So uh, you would so think my child is an annoying little brat. Because well, he is. He developed the shriek long ago, and has managed over the years to tweak it to the perfect frequency that will send needles through your eardrums.

I attribute it to his constant need for attention, possibly because I’ve always worked and haven’t been a good mother. But then, I’m always hard on myself. He is extremely hyper, he doesn’t take crap from other kids, and not only does he march to the beat of a different drummer – he IS the drummer, and he kicks ass. My kid is a one man band, and I am just a spectator cheering for him in the audience.

None of the other kids are as bright or adorable as mine. In fact, I don’t even like any of the other kids, except maybe our neighbors’ kid, who’s quiet and knows better than to be mean to Neilen. I yelled at a six year old who dared to be a shit head to my son. Then I chortled as I watched my kid swing a stick at a kid who tried to push him to the ground. Neilen rocks.

Anyway, enough trying to take over your blog. Braden sounds like he’s going to rule the neighborhood as well, and that is awesome! You should teach him to leave bags of poop at the other kids’ doorsteps. Just make sure the Mexican doesn’t eat it, eh, haha.

Could “Ellie” have been that family’s dog or cat? That might explaining calling loudly. But still, it did sound pretty annoying. Braden does indeed rock!

And that photo! I love how you just show his deliciously chubby leg and hand holding the chalk. How have you not swallowed him up whole by now? lol

haha, your kid rules.

would you mind bringing him over to my neighborhood and let him have a go at the annoying pre-teens?

haha, go braden!

[...] Well, that was what I thought, anyway.  If you’re not apprised of the story, go read that post. [...]

Yeah Braden… Tell that Biotch!! haha! ;o)

i had a situation where parents didn’t control their kids at a film (indiana jones…meh on that ) where they ran around and yelled and stuff. when i mentioned it to one of the mothers afterwards, pointing out her kids had ruined a bad film for me, one of them told me i was rude.

me.

i leaned to the parent and said, “i hope your child has nightmares tonight” it as fun to see her eyes get huge.

kids are what you teach and guide them to be. i raised five on my own, not accepting the screaming for a kid over and over among other things…a sense of humour and love of chalk was important, though. mine did college, none of them are on america’s most wanted, none of them work the pole.

at least as far as i know.

go, b… call ‘em like you see ‘em.
