Peoples' (Bad, Loud, Cryin' Ass) Kids

I know you all have been somewhere like church or a restaurant or wherever, where you're supposed to keep conversation (and noise in general) to a minimum. But while you were there, have you ever been made to feel uncomfortable because some spoiled little bastard is just screaming his/her little 3-year old head off and in general acting like a damn fool?

Every time I got to church on Sundays, it never fails; right during the sermon and especially during prayer, some spoiled child proceeds to start howling like a banshee, usually right...behind...me, and their parents do absolutely nothing for almost 5 minutes, before finally going about the business of dragging the child out of the congregation...the long way out of the church because they're right in the middle of the middle pew in the church, most likely outside for a beating.

Exhibit A:

You thought it was the start of Armageddon, didn't you? Nah, not quite though...



"Noooooooooo! I don't wanna be quiet, I wanna raise hell! Whaaaaaaaaaaa......!"

What I don't get is how the parents of this hell spawn can just sit there, tuning this out while everybody else suffers temporary hearing loss, and temporary insanity because your parenting (or lack thereof) skill.

I know these days parents can't discipline their kids like we were back in day, mostly because of child abuse laws, but come on! There is no excuse for you to intrude on other peoples' time on the town because you don't know how (or just plain refuse) to keep your kids in line.

Exhibit B:



Here's what I think of your approach to "parenting":

Oh and don't think about bringing your new friend/sex partner over at night and you kid(s) are still up, ohhhh noooo! Or else this will be the result:

Exhibit C:



If you can't (or simply refuse to) keep your bad ass kids in line, here's what I propose you do: either pay their asses some attention, or simply leave their asses at home, and you along with them! Don't leave these demons with your mother or a neighborhood kid and let them terrorize everybody else except you! Do not bring them out in public until they are old enough to act right; if you don't beat your kids from time to time, in 15 years, you'll either be posting their bail, or visiting the morgue...
