    The answer isn’t to beat your kids though. I just think the current generation is taking the good advice to not hit your kids and is too impatient (or doesn’t have enough time) to actually raise kids that aren’t screaming all the damn time.

      Try telling your kids not to scream.

      … and watch them screaming even more just to annoy you.

        Kids don’t “scream JUST to annoy you”. If you think that you might be the parent people are complaining about.

        Kids are gonna be kids sometimes mate. But they are people. They aren’t doing something “just to annoy you”. They have reasons they act the way they do. And it’s always because of who raised them.

        My point was about actually being a parent and being able to raise a child with mutual respect. It’s obviously not just “stop screaming”.

        The biggest thing is teaching your child that screaming does not get them positive results. Lots of parents have a really hard time transitioning from raising an infant, to raising a toddler, to raising a kid.

        By the time they are a teenager they are still whining like an infant to get what they want.

        I heard a kid screaming in public a couple weeks ago. I swear to God it sounded like a toddler having a tantrum. I look over and it’s literally a kid at least 10 years old. It blew my mind. The parents where treating him like an infant trying to find out what he wanted.

          Wow, I was actually agreeing with you here. Telling your kids to not scream does not work.

          So yes, woosh apparently.

            Well given the equal up and down votes on your comment I think your reply can clearly be interpreted as disagreement. Also, saying kids “scream just to annoy you” is ignorant.

            Don’t make an unclear ignorant comment and expect people to take it in good faith.

              If you make adversarial choices, your kids will definitely scream to annoy you. You took it as me saying that kids “only” scream to annoy, which is obviously not true.

              So yes, I was on the internet assuming that people argue in good faith and try to have a good time … I mean yeah, I guess I should have seen that one coming.

              I think I’m not cut out for this.
