CPSW wrote: » What really gets on my nerves are parents who cannot control their misbehaving kids in public. I really despise half ar$ed parenting. Was in a shop last week waiting to be served when a mother and child arrived in. From the second the kid entered the shop he proceeded to run amok. Climbing all over the place, screaming and shouting, pulling signs out of the shop window. Even the woman behind the counter told him to stop climbing. The mother was like "Oh Zack, stop it" kid didn’t have a bar of it and continued to wreck the place, running away when she told him to stay beside her. He must have been about 7 or 8, seemed like a real little spoiled brat, the mother looked respectable enough also, but obviously it didn’t cross her mind that her child was wrecking everyone else’s head running wild in the shop. Maybe it’s a generation thing (I'm in my early 30's), but when I was a kid you didn't go on like that, if you did, a clip around the ear was expected! Control your kids people!

I love it - sometimes when we fight she'll shout something at me and pronounce it wrong and I just fall apart laughing and the whole situation gets resolved Then again, my Portuguese sounds like a constipated duck trying to speak Japanese...
