I see this all the time in supermarkets, parents putting back something a child has opened and nibbled behind their backs. Just throw it on the ground FFS instead of contaminating the batch.

Better still get your child to apologise to a staff member and pay for it out of pocket money or an équivalant chore at home.

Yep its the nanny state mentality. The problem is some people don’t know the difference between a corrective tap and a battering. In fairness if you take the time to explain ( and you are giving g a kid a chance to listen ie: they aren’t so high on suger they can’t ) it should never be necessary.

“people don’t know the difference between a corrective tap and a battering.”
Cracking line. Accurate AND hilarious.

I do. Heh heh.

So true. It works if you work it.

things I have seen in supermarkets
child sneezing into salad bar
child taking fistful of coleslaw, mother tells child to “put it back”
child eating contents of french stick, mother tells child to “put it back”
child climbing on scissor lift (through the scissors)
child eating cereal from box, mother tells child to “put it back”
child eating slush puppie directly from dispensing nozzle
and so on
to quote Jarvis
Oh, the parents are the problem
Giving birth to maggots without the sense to become flies
So pander to your pampered little princess of such enormous size

I think that’s called being dragged up
Ultach
I thinks it’s time you stopped stalking Mrs Ultach and the wee’uns.

Only Mombies?? Fair few Dombies out there too.
Dragging screaming kids along street oblivious to the fact they are wrenching arms etc and the kid is in pain
Kids sitting bored and ignored in pubs / cafes / wedding receptions only to be roared at to “shut up” when they get a bit boisterous
Kids trailing behind in shops behind Dad who is more interested in his phone that the child
But hey, let’s hate on Mums, cos its all their fault.

I’m sure the denizens of the childfree subreddit (the very name sounds like heaven) are scrupulous in ensuring their observations are gender neutral.

Yesterday in a Dunnes I spotted a garlic pack opened up and one clove gone from one of the bulbs. I reckon it was probably a grown up version of a child that did this!

I worked in retail for quite a number of years, in charge of kids section, and the amount of parents who would use it as a playground/creche for their kids was ridiculous. Children just let run around, shouting and screaming. It was a bookshop, ffs. And some parents actually thought that we (the staff) were akin to babysitters.
Some parents are simply ignorant poxbottles, and really don’t understand that kids aren’t fashion accessories.

There’s no way this won’t sound unhinged, but Supervalu Clonakilty is a great supermarket.

No, no, my local supervalu is a kip. Clonakilty is the stuff of dreams… I went there, once…

It’s a great shop. Those gingerbread men are lovely. Can’t understand why they didn’t finish eating it
