Just wondering...

Does the fact that I absolutely hate to go shopping during the summer while people have their out of control children screaming and running up the aisles make me a terrible, impatient person that should never have children of my own?


I am not so naive that I think my children will never misbehave.
I do assure you, however that I will:
  • not continue to leisurely try on clothes and ignore the fact that my nine year old boy is looking under all of the doors in the dressing room.
  • promptly leave the store when my five year old is screaming bloody murder because he cannot have a toy.
  • not just ignore my  twelve year old and continue to shop while she yells and cusses at me. 
I observed all three scenarios today all during a quick stop at Kohls. Seriously, what is wrong with people? 

Is summer over soon?

Well today at my office, a woman came in to meet with an attorney and brought her four children. She met with the attorney while her 4 rowdy SHOELESS kids playe din the lobby for two hours.

I thought the same thing!!

Okay so I'm thinking that one Sunday the guys play golf together while we visit. Grant is all for it!

I had those EXACT thoughts before I had Sydney and I still have them. I know that will be my child some day but it will only go on as long as it takes for me to march them right out of the store!!

I have left a store with Nickolas and Emma both for throwing a fit. I think some people just don't care how their kids act. We are already teaching ours yes ma'am and sir and they are only 2 and 3... I don't know people are just crazy now...

I have to go to HEB on Friday or Saturday nights between 8-10 because I want to hit other peoples children.

wow...i cannot believe it! you are right, all kids have moments. Mine like to have "moments" together, in unison, in public. This is why i don't go out in public with both of them by myself. :) How moms just ignore that stuff in beyond me!!

It just so happens I went to the store today and had the same thoughts enter my mind...I don't want to hear my own kids screaming much less yours! I love Terry's approach..he always says, "I think they need my assitance over there!"
