    Your kids are bored, do something

    First, I look about me on the third floor...and see very little homeless people. WTF?

    Oh, some type of festival is going on outside. I suppose they are getting all the goodies they can.

    Ah, why are there 3 kids (one girl, maybe 3 or 4, a boy maybe 4, and another boy 6 years old) on this floor with out an adult? They are playing peek-a-boo by this wall. Ok, here is mom. They must have been to the festival because they have beads on.

    Mom and kids go to the reference books.

    Fuck, those kids are loud.

    I go to mom
    me: ma'm you can take that book to the kids room with your kids.
    mom: I have to look at a lot of books, but I won't take long.

    Ok, kids are at a table, with no books (this is a fucking library, we have books, and the kids' room has toys too). Kids are loud.

    Mom takes girl to bathroom. Boys are running around, I'm telling the boys not to, but boys (like any young child) have no attention span and keep on running around after 2 seconds of not running.

    Mom comes back with girl. I tell mom her kids can't run in here. Then I see girl has no shoes. I tell mom that girl has to have shoes on.

    Mom: we're going to leave soon. They can look out the window.
    mom chases boys, "we are going to go now." Boys are crying.

    They don't leave. I have to tell mom again that girl has to keep on her shoes, mom says, "oh".

    I tell mom she can bring books from the kids' room for them, she tells me they can look out the window.

    I want to tell the idiot, "Take your fucking kids to the fucking kids room. Take the fucking books with you that you have to look at."

    I know she can't control her kids, but I'm giving her options to make everyone happy.

    Also, she is wearing short-shorts and has bad cellulite.

    Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

    Correction, she can control her kids by, you know, parenting. Why is it your responsibility to corral her kids? I hate parents like this, who add to the problem by having no plan to entertain their young children when they go someplace.

      Ugh I see this at the laundromat all the TIME. And of course, bored kids always start whining and crying and messing with things they shouldn't.

      How hard is it to bring something to do? Or, better yet: get a sitter!

        That's just lazy. It's not that hard to watch the kids or at least make sure they bought something to entertain themselves with!

          In the OP's case, they were in a library! There was plenty of stuff THERE to entertain the kids with!

          1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
          2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
          3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
          4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

            And mother complained that I carried a deck of cards everywhere I went. She always seemed to say it was embarrassing that I'd pull them out and play solitaires on the tables.

            She'd have preferred I behaved like that?

              This. It's the difference between "Can" and "Want to" I suppose....

                Parenting is a like lot training a new puppy. You must always be firm and never waiver from your set expectations and no matter what else you must always keep yours eyes on them in the formative years (months for puppies) to catch them doing the wrong thing before they start so that corrective actions may be taken immediatley.
