control your kids, dammit!
So I was having dinner at a Korean restaurant in Sri Hartamas with my mom and sister, catching up as always seeing that we don’t meet that often.
Halfway through our wonderful dinner of kimchi and bbq-ed beef, the table next to ours was filled by a young family. This means kids, old enough to walk around without assistance, very young still hence they were yodeling at the top of their little lungs.
These little horrors proceeded to run around the wooden floor jumping and squealing and basically being insensitive little tykes. The parents, other than a few half-hearted words of wrath decided to let their little godzillas roam around the little space kicking the wooden floor that made it very uncomfortable for other patrons like ME, coz we were all sitting on the same blasted floor Korean style.
Then how? My sister said that at this point the kids would not pay any attention to adults; they have each other to encourage them in this ruckus. So we being the wiser ones have to grin and tolerate.
But that is so damn bloody unfair, don’t you think? When I go out I do not impose my childishness/willfulness on other people… unless they bloody well deserve it. But when it comes to kids, we ALL have to bear with them.
WE ALL have to tolerate, live and let live and all that new age psychobabble ohm-ing nonsense shit.
Why do I have to be PUNISHED just because some people can’t be arsed to use CONDOMS?!?!?
WHY DO I HAVE TO PUNISHED JUST BECAUSE SOME PARENTS DIDN’T SIGN UP FOR PARENTING 101??????
Then you come lay all the bloody problems on society influence bla bla nah nah bleh bleh gfy.
YOU ARE THE SOCIETY’S GODDAMN BLOODY PROBLEM!
Fucking lil’ tykes… I fucking hate tykes.

Considering your prospective BFs would want to have children, that wasn’t the nicest thing to say.
Have a good week ahead C8-)
rofl.
thats why childhood is prob the best years in life.
or prob high school. = )
You very angsty lately huh.
hellooooo…suanie!!!
Dun think I’ve commented on ur site before, but that was a good artikel there!! I hate those freaking little tykes.I hate it when kids do not behave themselves–eg screaming at the top of their lungs in public areas ie restaurants,supermarkets, when they don’t get something. I blame the parents for it. bloody hell!
IF it were to happen to any of us as kids, as in we did that to my mom, hmmm….dun even need to wait till we get home, we get a stare as a warning, and if we continue, we get a very hard smack, go home, another round. U think we still dare to put on another ‘great show’ outside ar… I will stare kow kow at the parents. they dun find it irritating meh? IDIOTS!!!
Little devils they are….but let me tell ya a little secret….you stare the kids dead in their eyes….you know the “i will bust your ass if u keep that up” type…..
stare at the little Devils and it may work….it proved quite useful in numerous occations.
Good luck
eh I’m the only spoilt one in the family and it’s staying that way!
on a more serious note, if I really do end up having kids… which btw will require a lot of thinking beforehand… my kids will not be annoying other ppl to death like this. why? because should I be a parent I would make sure that I am well equipped to handle the situation. I know how it feels so I don’t want another person to suffer for my decision.
And I know kids. I have many younger cousins growing up, still do.
well, wht can u do rite. lil tykes will always be lil tykes. n ye, i agree with u, fully, tht at a certain point… kids are super duper annoying especially the ones tht u’ve encountered just now. and it’s bloody irritating when their parents dont seem to care or to sound them at all. ive seen those kinda devil kiddies before n hell, it annoys me but i cant shout at them. lols. neither u. i guess just give em the evil stare just like wht MorpheusX said in his comment. cheers n cheer up!!! =)
Can’t really blame those… whatsit again?… tykes? They are what you ‘were’ and/or how you train them.
Moral? Choose shit-boring-goodie-to (two?)-shoes-dumbass hubby and you’ll have shit-boring-goodie-to-shoes-dumbass children (well 50-50 chance anyway)… Easier still…just leave those tykes at home and don’t take them anywhere. For food, there’s always the doggie bag…
Now, and only now I know why my parents never bring me anywhere! I remember the doggie bag very well actually…
Oh shit! Too late! My wife’s pregnant!!
ps: which dumbass parents would bring their kids to a place like that anyway?
on the floor, Korean style? i thought you’d gone to Nak Won, which is the only korean place in hartamas i know of.
i don’t suppose you could quietly trip one of them (mean, i know, but i have cousins that age, and falling doesn’t seem to damage them any >:D )
relax abit suan, relaxxx
no need to relax lah actually. becoz i believe that inkept anger manifests itself later on and that will come out waaaaaaaaayyyy worse than this one.
so you feel angry now. blow it out now la.
i have nothing against kids. but I do fight for the remote control wif my cousin to watch astro. not becoz i’m a bully. but becoz he shouldn’t watch tv so much. he watches tv like right after school till dinner time. *crazy* he screams every time i do that. scawweeeee. and spoilt.
can’t compare with our olden days either, coz it’s different now lah. last time got tv1’s thundercats also cun dy!
If I have kids and if they misbehave… I’ll just unleash my fookin fury….. then little rascals better learn how to behave.
How I wish I was a kid again..
Cause even if I am a rascal, even if I’m noisy, annoying, hyper active, insensitive to my elders, people (like suanie) will just grin and say.. “Owww… how cute!” while I am short enough to “Look up” to the elders (Especially girls).. *Giggle*… *LOL*
Next time, stuff the tykes with lots of kimchi.
well, you can choose to glower at those wipper snappers. Kids are scared of freaks…
instead of tolerating .. u could go to the parent, tap them on their shoulder and tell them nicely to take their kids in check. it works. cuz it embarrasses the hell out of the parents. it works, trust me. :p
Take our your AK-47. Shoot the parents. Shoot the kids. Peace.
well better than last time i saw one mummy placing her little 5 year old kid on the table (at subang’s chicken rice shop), and then proceeded to undress the kid, take out everything including panties and all, and then placed her in a fresh set of clean clothes.
MALU SIAL…
yes kids can be annonying at times and it is the parents who allowed them to be.
suanie (and those who are not parents yet) don’t be too hasty to said things like like this:
“because should I be a parent I would make sure that I am well equipped to handle the situation.” (quote from suanie) or “if i’m the parent, i wouldn’t allow my kid to do this”…. because you haven’t reach that level yet. it’s easier said than done you know. i know of one friend who always complained about parents letting the kids run wild in public places and all that but when she became a mother, she let her kid runs wild and see nothing wrong with it!!
Just kick the mother in the cunt, the father in the balls, throw the kids into the frying wok in the kitchen and proceed to enjoy your delicious food.
BTW Hartmas got KoreanBBQ? Apa? Bagus?
SHOW ME WHERE.
Dammit I hate it when that happens – thank god my parents are the kind of people that would either tell the child to go and sit down, or they would speak to the child’s parents to control their offspring.
My parents are old skool. I was never to get up from my chair if I was allowed to accompany my parents out to a restaurant when I was little, let alone run around anywhere, screaming like a banshee – that is how I think kids should be raised.
And that’s all I have to say about that
LoL! Can you say, “Famous last words”?
*snerks*
Famous last words!
Perfect for my epitaph, no?
reallybites: true true…
Peter: can’t help it… read my earlier post
pam: Hello! I totally blame the parents too… actually kids are prone to doing that… yelling screaming when they don’t get something, I don’t mind coz every kid goes through that.. but I would absolutely HATE IT if the parent go and molly coddle the kids and end up buying the kid whatever s/he wants…
MorpheusX: yah but they are not my kids… I believe parents should be responsible for parenting
bruckz: but don’t we wish we could take a mallet to them? *grins*
jaggedthots: oO congratulations! I trust you would do better
ItchyMicchi: I don’t know the name of the place, it’s the same row as the Maybank, 2nd and 3rd floors. Can’t trip them lah… sekali kena sued…

Michael: … paste my ward-off-evil photo enough ledi
Pinky: I don’t have the guts to do that lor.. but my eldest sister would.. she damn garang hehe
FA: oO
minishorts: lucky my mom never did that… I would be scarred for life
lucia: Of course everything is easier said than done. But there should be levels of control. I just thought it was very unfair that I had to subjected to such unpleasantries while having dinner with the kids thumping the wooden floor which my mom, sis and I were sitting on and the parents not attempting to do anything about it. They are kids, sure but it’s damn well rude. How can that be ok? Nobody is that cute.
I don’t mind kids running around. You see them at wedding dinners chasing each other etc I don’t mind that. It’s kids’ nature. But other times as a parent you would have to think of the consequences. Not everybody likes kids. Some people like kids so much they would run off with your kid. Then when the parent has finished gossiping with the friend and couldn’t locate the kid, whose fault is it? I don’t blame the kid at all.
I am just saying that a lot of people these days do not take parenting seriously. They might be trying, but they do not try hard enough, letting the kids have their own way all the time. I’ve seen a lot of well behaved kids in public so I know there are parents who could do it.
ShaolinTiger: Not bad, we go next time. Ampang too far away and I heard the meat was much reduced in size.
Shan: Heh I have 2 elder sisters for that, they used to slap me all the time
I totally agree with u suanie!!
If the damn parents cannot control the kids DUN FUCKING BRING THEM OUT !!
danke shoen!
Do better than who? ooohhh, trick question la ni?
In all probabilities, the child might turn up just like me which I know well how to handle ‘leave him/her at home and tapau the leftovers!’
elloo,
i can really understand how you feel. i myself personally have to, albiet forcefully, experience it. what amazes me is that the owners of these things (the kids la) are able to totally ignore whatever mayhem these kids make. i mean, they can be chatting happily with each other while a kid of theirs scream at the top of its lung. sigh…should put those parents in front of the firing squad.
I used to be like you, easily annoyed by rascals and wonder why parents can’t control their kids. But now that I am a parent myself, it isn’t as easy as people think.
My husband and I try very to keep our daughter at bay and so far, she has been quite alright (we hope). There is a difference between parents who care and parents who don’t give a shit about how their children behave in public and I am sure as hell am a parent who cares!
So, relax and don’t be too hard on them.
jaggedthots: do better than…. oh you know.. bleh!
anzi: muaks
artreyu: “owner of these things” LMAO!
Szue Fei: Hello!
Of course there is a difference. It is easy to just blame every modern parent for churning out irresponsible uncivic minded kids but there are parents who are trying and I, being a single person with no kids really do appreciate it. And it encourages me in the sense that *if* one day I should have a kid, I could follow the foot steps of those who do try and give a damn instead of the example illustrated above. There is a choice. Of course it is not easy – no one said parenting is easy. But I believe that if I made the choice to have a kid, it is darn well my responsibility to guide the child and be a responsible parent.
But that option is still so far away lah
I hear ya on the rugrat thing. Ontario ruled that pubs that serve food (which is all of them – mandated by law) are in fact not bars, but restaurants. Therefore, they must allow children into the place.
There is nothing that drives me around the bend more than when I’m pop into the pub to have a nice relaxing beer/meal and people have their rugrats running amok. Even if they aren’t screaming, they’re disruptive and get on my nerves.
I’ve seen this sorta thing abused – there’s one “mother” (we jokingly call her “Trailer Park Barbie”) that’ll bring her 7 year old daughter to the pub when she can’t find a baby sitter so that she can get stinkoed (the only time she’s sober is if she’s out with her parents).
My point of view on kids in restaurants/bars – either tranquilize the little mofos before you go out or get a sitter and leave them at home!
Here’s something fun for you to do:
Next time one of em lil buggers’ annoying the hell out of you, lean real close and whisper:
“I’m gonna RIP yoR FuCkin hEd oRF!”
Then act like nothing happened. Try it, it’s fun!
Ted: heh well, there you go
Mercurial: Actually I did that once… not to a kid but to a baby in the tummy who was kicking the mummy so much… I just went “I AM YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE”. Kicking stopped, end of story.
