I don't care if it's a boy just teasing....

He is WRONG and his parents WORSE.

teasing is NOT an excuse.

It's making excuses for this type of wrong behavior that later leads to worse problems and a very uncivil society.

----

I don't care if the coffee is scalding hot.

Of course it's hot.

use common sense.

Put in the cup holder -- NOT between your legs! IDIOCY!!!

but then again we've legally chosen to reward and tolerate and uphold the lowest common denominator of nonsensical, uncivil behavior.

---

as for the op -- angel status! I fear I would have said something like -- oh sorry you're still alive!

Definitely, it was either them or me. I was going to risk anything to fix the parents mistakes raising them. Eventually they will see the error of their ways when that nasty behavior turns on them.

I had one mom tell her time out kid "don't worry when you get home, i'll let you play". I was flabbergasted. NOt to mention the mom did all the kids HW in her handwriting non-the-less.

If I would have given both of them a test, they both would have failed. icon_sad.gif

Guess what--boiling water is HOT. Mountains are ROCKY. Bears KILL people. Ocean water is COLD. If you fall in without a life jacket you will DROWN. Unsupervised kids cause trouble, get hurt, get abducted, annoy everybody around them and eat too much junk food and puke.

Just for the record, that McDonald's case wasn't frivolous. The restaurant had been knowingly serving the coffee way too hot for a long time and had been warned about it several times before. It was kept that hot so that by the time people got to work, it would still be hot, but not so hot as to give them 3rd degree burns like it would if they attempted to drink it when served.

The plaintiff originally sought to settle the case for $20,000, probably the cost of her medical bills (she suffered 3rd degree burns over 6% of her body in the span of about 7 seconds) but McDonald's refused. That is why she sued.

I wish people actually knew the facts of that case before using it as an example of frivolous lawsuits.

As for the kid in the OP, it's been said before but I'll say it again. I'm not patient enough to deal with that crap, but then I don't really like brats no matter the age. I probably would have berated him until he cried.




Sorry to digress...Just making sure you have the facts about that McD's coffee case. Most of what we hear about it is just the headline, not the aftermath. There is a website which was created after the Stella lawsuit (to focus on other frivolous lawsuits) which tells the whole story. Stella was NOT driving, her grandson was. He had pulled over so she could add cream and sugar. Yes, she was burned, but the coffee actually was at industry standard temp, 185F. Coffee is supposed to be HOT. Read the whole story in the second link:

http://www.stellaawards.com/
http://www.stellaawards.com/stella.html

As to the OP's kid issue, his parents need a trip behind the woodshed, imo.

My favorite frivolous lawsuit (and please don't tell me it's another urban legend): A burglar fell through the skylight of the warehouse he intended to rob, and injured himself. He sued the warehouse owner, and won $$$!

I don't care what some people who want to sell coffee say the coffee temperature should be... coffee should be hot yes, but not scalding.
An approximate one-second exposure to 160° F water will result in third degree burns.
http://www.burnsurvivor.com/burn_types_third.html
Third-degree burns affect the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis, causing charring of skin or a translucent white color, with coagulated vessels visible just below the skin surface. These burn areas may be numb, but the person may complain of pain. This pain is usually because of second-degree burns. Healing from third-degree burns is very slow due the skin tissue and structures being destroyed. Third-degree burns usually result in extensive scarring.

I was an ER nurse for 10 years. While I don't deny the possibility, I speak from experience when I say I treated many,many burns, of every conceivable degree of severity. One does not forget the sight or smell. I only ever saw ONE 3rd degree burn from hot coffee, on a child who had pulled a pot off a table onto her head. I saw multiple 2nd degree burns from coffee over the years, but only the one 3rd degree from coffee, that I can recall.

Edited to add: I saw multiple 3rd degree burns from house fires and explosions, and other catastrophes.

As far as behaved kids...I have really cut back on judging other kids because I know with my four boys...we try to keep them acting right but you just never know, sometimes, what one will pull off in public (although my oldest three are good in public, its mostly the 2 year old that we are still working on!).

BUT....

The big thing I look at is what the parents are doing. For instance, the boy in the OP...no parents around. To me, that is really bad.

However...if the parents would have dragged the kid to the cupcake table and made him apologize, and personally apologized to the cupcake lady...then I would know that maybe the child was a difficult to manage child but that the parents were at least trying.

To me that makes all the difference in the world.

Same thing as, when I was teaching...I might have a difficult child that the parents would come into the teacher conferences and say "My child is fine, its the school that is the problem" and that is a nightmare. However, you have a difficult child and the parents say "You know, we are working really hard with him at home too, and I know he's difficult....whatever you'd like us to do to help at our end is fine, and whatever you have to do at school with him is fine too, and we really appreciate your hard work" then you know that the parents are doing the best they can.

My boys (I have four) are going to end up doing stupid things. BUT my job is to make sure the stupidity is corrected and apologized for, and made right when necessary...and hopefully as they grow older the stupid behavior lessens. And that is the most important thing....and why I try to give parents a break when I can.

I will say I do feel a little bad for parents...the fear of social services is real today. I was at Walmart the other day and a child started crying in the cart. I glanced over and suddenly the mom started talking in this fake sweet voice and hugging the child and it was really obvious she wanted to make sure everyone saw her being a "good mom" because she was afraid of people judging her for having a crying kid. Its really too bad these days.....

In 2007 there were 40,320 U.S.hospital admission for burns caused by scalding liquids (report does not specify which liquid). Total Body Surface Area Burned (TBSA): Over one-third of admissions (38%) exceeded 10% TBSA, and 10% exceeded 30% TBSA. Most included severe burns of such vital body areas as the face, hands and feet.

By the time I decided to stop subbing, I would only go into Kindergarten and first grade classrooms. The kids--and certainly not ALL of them--are getting worse and worse. But you mostly remember the demons.
And don't get me started on the "cluster" desk arrangement, which means that the kids are facing north, south, east and west, so only one fourth of the kids are actually facing the teacher at any given time. But I digress.




Oh! New theory is by clustering their desks into several small groups is because (didn't you know?) kids learn from each other!!! All I see are kids talking, off task, and cheating of their neighbors!
Drives me up the *#* wall! Yet no one will listen to us when we try to explain it doesn't work! Yet time and again they will make us watch a video of a model class (kids neat and spanky clean, not horsing around or playing with things in their desks, you get the picture!) Well, if I told my class they were going to be taped for a half hour, they would be little angelic model students too! At my school teachers are on their own. If we send a kid to the office nothing happens except they return a few minutes later with a new pencil! After that happened I never sent a kid again! I was more angry at the principle and associate principle! Didn't take long till all the teachers came up with our own plan to help each other out. At the end of the year the principle was bragging how office referrals had declined significantly (patting herself on the back). We all just smiled at each other! If she only knew...!

Okay! That's enough...I need to go back to laughing at the "pudgy little puke!" Summer vacation is almost over! icon_cry.gificon_cry.gificon_cry.gificon_cry.gificon_cry.gificon_cry.gificon_cry.gif

If, in a moment of temporary insanity one of my DID say that, I would have driven to the nearest Nursing Home, Firestation or Shelter and had the little darling present it to someone who would appreciate it...

I have been laughing through all 6 pages of this.

This brings back a memory when my younger sister babysat for one of my kids when they were very young. Her daughter and a friend wanted an apple so my sister took the apple and cut it in half and gave each one a half of the apple. My neice looked at the friend and promptly stated, "Haha, my piece is bigger than yours!" My sister turned, looked at her, took her piece of apple, chopped it in half and gave her the now smaller piece of apple back to her. She never did that again.

Hey, want a real treat? Try volunteering for an event where 100 kids get to come and eat and be entertained for FREE.

The parents will kick them out in droves in the parking lot, 40 minutes BEFORE you requested they be there (helloooo...it's THEIR free time away from their kids) the kids will behave the entire time like they were raised by wolves and they will turn their noses up at every single FREE thing you offer them to eat. And utter the words Thank You? ummm, LOL.

I only participate in the meal prep, serving and clean up. The cleanup is especially hard for me. I hate wasted food and the garbage cans are always filled with lots of thrown away food because so many of the kids aren't ever taught to clean their plates. One bite here, one bite there. Before I started helping there I never knew kids were so picky! In our house our kids eat what is on their plate or they can see if there is anything better in the morning when breakfast rolls around--no exceptions.

I can't handle the upstairs program anymore. I finally gave it up when a parent marched up to me thrusting the FREE treat her kid received in my face and yelled Don't you guys ever offer anything but sugary stuff? Why don't you ever give these kids some GOOD toys?

As I pictured her in my mind being dipped head first repeatedly in a large vat of rancid pudding I just smiled sweetly and decided I would be better off just working behind the scenes in the kitchen.

When I started college I wanted to be a teacher, but seeing kids like that little puke punk in my observing hours made me soon realize that if I taught I would soon be ready for the looney bin.
I have a couple nieces and nephews who are well behaved, but it is because their parents work hard to make sure they are good kids. I don't hestitate to take them anywhere for fear of misbehavior. I wish more parents tried this hard.

[quote="ladyellam"]I've been accused of being a mother of a brat, too. However, my son has Autism and is five years old. When he has one of his meltdowns, we leave the store and I will just hold him firmly until he is done. I will probably have 10-15 people gathered around me to "help" me. They will shout to hit him, smack him, that I should be smacked myself or take "good mommy lessons". Sometimes people just don't know the situation. Maybe it's because he doesn't look like a special needs child?

Sorry to get off of the topic. Truth be told, I probably would have boxed his ears. It's a shame when parents allow their children to think the world owes them everything. My mother would just take one look at me and whatever I was thinking of doing, that look would just stop me in my tracks.[/quote

i would have told all of them that he has autism and if you all don;t have a child like this leave yall opinons to yourself! i have a teen with autism and it is not easy. big hug
