People Who Couldn’t Resist Shaming Parents And Children Around Them
Parenting is hard, we all get that. Raising children isn't easy, and based on the number of parents who let their children act like jerks in public, raising children properly is definitely not easy.
You try not to shame other parents because you want to believe they're doing their best, but it's hard when you see a parent who lets their kid destroy a store aisle or walk all over a monument, and that's how we end up here.
Tables Aren't For Standing
If your kid wants to stand up in the middle of a meal, that's one thing, but letting him stand on a table that people then have to eat on afterward is too much.
Sit down, kid.
Are You Forgetting Something?
We'd like to think that someone didn't just forget their baby in the middle of this store entrance.
There's no way that someone intentionally left their baby in a stroller and walked away, so it's really a lose-lose situation.
Please Refrain From Ruining Monuments
You take your kid to see an ancient mosaic in Spain, he throws a ball on top of it, what do you do?
What you don't do is send your child to walk on top of it.
Throw The Mom In The Trash Too
Not only did this mother leave her child's dirty diaper sitting on a pole instead of throwing it out...
...she then got mad at the person who took this photo for calling her out.
Just Ignore The Railings, They're There For Show
If there are railings around a display or any sort of exhibit, they're not there for you to simply lift your children over them and let them bypass them.
They're there for a reason.
This Is Not The Show People Wanted With Their Dinner
They say that you become desensitized to things like changing dirty diapers when you're a parent...
But the other people in the restaurant don't want to see this while they're eating.
Ruining It For The Whole Class
Sitting up at the window in order to watch your child during her dance class is fine.
Blocking the window for all the other parents and then staring at your phone the whole time is not.
Did You Forget The Cup For The Ketchup?
Look at how much of these condiments were wasted simply because someone's parents weren't able to entertain their own children long enough in a restaurant.
Think of the person who has to clean up before you let your child do this.
Get This Kid Some Headphones
If you're going to be the parent who lets their kid watch a movie while you're dining out at a restaurant, that's on you, but you better make sure you bring some headphones with you.
Other people don't want to watch How to Train Your Dragon along with your kid.
Not Every Table Is Meant For Changing
We know you need to change your baby somewhere, but the place to do it is not on top of a pile of clothing that's for sale at Old Navy.
The place to do it is in the bathroom.
Your Presence Isn't Present Enough
Imagine hosting a birthday party for your child at Build-A-Bear and then having the audacity to force all the children in attendance to give up their stuffed animals that they personally made...
No child needs that many bears.
Say Goodbye To Your Deposit
Everyone knows that when you rent a car, you have to return it to the rental agency in the same condition that you initially received it.
Or at least everyone but these people are aware of that.
Make A Mess At Your Own House
Before you leave a restaurant table looking like this, remember that someone is going to have to clean up after you.
Teach your kids now before they become those employees who are stuck cleaning up after a family that does this.
If We Wanted To Watch It Through A Screen, We Would've Stayed Home
Ma'am, we know that you want to be able to look back on your child's recital afterward, but we don't want to have to watch our child through your tablet.
Please think of the people behind you!
Destroy The Toys Once You Take Them Home
Toy store aisles are not meant to be a "Try before you buy" type of environment for your children to destroy every display that employees had to set up that day.
This is terrifying.
He Can't Even Read It Back There
We're all for teaching your kid a lesson when it's deserved.
Shaving the word "liar" into the back of your child's hair seems like a bit of a stretch, doesn't it?
Did Someone Check Her ID?
Nothing says "quality time with your child" like taking them with you to a bar and letting them stand on the table to play with the beer taps for half an hour, right?
Wrong.
Nobody Wants Your Secondhand Yogurt
So you give your child a container of yogurt at the grocery store.
They bite into and then you choose to put it back on the shelf instead of doing the right thing and telling an employee?
That Must Be More Than The Recommended Daily Sodium Intake
While this child was running around putting his mouth on every salt and pepper shaker in the restaurant...
...his parents were busy enjoying their meal instead of preventing their son from eating straight salt.
She Doesn't Even Go Here
We know that you're proud of your kid, we get it.
What you shouldn't do, though, at your kid's school concert is park yourself directly next to the band and become one of them.
Urine Trouble
Yes, that is unfortunately exactly what it looks like.
Whoever let their child do this clearly wasn't raised right, and they're passing that same parenting style on to their own spawn.
The Key Word Here Is Public Transportation
Traveling with children on public transportation is never easy.
And it can be difficult to juggle your various bags, strollers, and children, but don't make it harder for everyone else by completely blocking off the aisle.
This Is Not The Movie We Wanted To See
Why would you let your kid bring a balloon into a movie theater?
Even if you were at a birthday party, there must have been a better place for you to leave this giant floating helicopter.
Leave The Toys For The Kids Who Need Them
Your child might not always be thrilled about going to the store with you.
If you have older kids who can entertain themselves on their phone, please don't let them sit there and take up all the room meant for younger children.
Don't Make Yourself This Comfortable
First of all, please keep your shoes on while you're on public transportation.
Second of all, please don't let your child make a mess all over the carpeted floor and then make it worse by stepping in it.
Behave Like Animals In Your Own Home
As usual, someone had to come along and ruin it for everyone else.
Because these parents didn't teach their kids how to behave properly in a store, now no kids are allowed. If you want to let off some steam, go to the real playground.
Y'all Nasty
What would possibly possess someone to not only change their child's diaper in the middle of a clothing store on the dirty floor, but also to then leave the remnants of that diaper change behind?
Gross.
Shame, Shame, We Know Your Name
We're not even sure how someone managed to make it out of the restaurant without being called out for this.
But if you ever see parents trying to sneak away after their children make a mess like this one, please say something.
This Doesn't Count As Your Allowance
When you tell kids that they need to get a part-time job to contribute to the family, fishing coins out of the fountain at the mall is not what anybody meant.
Try again, kiddos.
Friendly Reminder: Your Kid Isn't Joe DiMaggio
For every parent who ever got a little too involved in their child's recreational sports, this sign is for you.
Your son's peewee baseball game is not the same as the MLB.
Didn't Your Mother Tell You Not To Litter?
It's frustrating to go to a doctor's office and find that every magazine in the waiting room is 5 years old.
That doesn't mean it's okay to let your kid rip up all of the reading materials as a distraction.
Keep All Hands, Feet, & Dirty Diapers Inside The Vehicle
No one can blame you for an emergency baby change in the trunk of the car.
What they can blame you for, though, is leaving your dirty diapers in the parking lot as you drive away.
Ma'am The Seat Belt Sign Is On
Everyone gets a little restless on planes and needs to stretch their legs, but the time to let your kids climb all over the seats is definitely not when the plane is landing.
Buckle up!
Nature Is Calling
Nature may have called your child and you were left with no choice but to do a diaper change on the beach.
What nature didn't call for was for you to leave your dirty diapers on the rocks only a few feet away from a garbage can.
Don't Be A Bystander
Don't be the parent who stands by and watches as their kid destroys something in a store simply because you don't want to embarrass them or yourself by having to discipline in public.
Keep an eye out of on your child!
You Can't Think This Is Ok
No one is able to get every piece of popcorn from the bag to their mouth when they're in the movie theater.
We all know that a few stray pieces are going to make their way onto the floor, but don't make it worse for those coming in to clean the theater by letting your kids leave this kind of a mess.
No One Looks Impressed
Regardless of what the statue represents you should keep your kids from playing on memorials, no ifs, ands, or buts.
You're clearly in an outdoor area, let them go play in the grass, not on a statue that honors somebody's sacrifice.
Destruction Wasn't On The Agenda Today
We understand that as a parent you need to pick your battles.
Sometimes it's simply not worth getting into an argument with your child, but when it comes to the destruction of property, you should pick that battle.
Here's A Tip: Eat At Home Next Time
Sorry, but this isn't actually how the service industry functions...
If you're going to spend your money eating at a restaurant, you need to be able to include the tip, regardless of if you're a parent.
You Can Cry Over Spilled Soda
If your kids left this kind of a mess at the dinner table at home you would make them clean it up, or at least attempt to clean it up.
You should have the same courtesy when you're in public.
