This was a HUGE issue with me when I was the nanny/babysitter, but now that I'm a mom it irks me even worse.
When I was about 7 months pregnant and VERY hormonal, Hubby and I were in Wal-mart when a child, old enough to know better, I'd say 10 or 11ish, started throwing a temper tantrum and walked down the main aisle SLAMMING the end displays. Where was mom? Several feet in front of her telling her to stop acting like a baby. I was within an ace of grabbing the kid up and whoopiing her tail.
If you can't control your kids or don't care to watch them, then DON'T HAVE THEM! Ok, mini rant over.
