Only Children and Mothers pay attention to the wild whims of Children.

She was standing in line to buy that miserable son of a bitch a pie. What more did he want her to do? Pull down the kid's pants and spanks his ass red, so the guy could film and put it on YouTube, and make her the latest Social Media Pariah?

I don't get it, people bitch when they discipline and they bitch and moan when they don't.

Peter P says

Families with mean kids are either mean or incompetent. No sympathy from me.

Dan8267 says

I have no sympathy for the family with bratty kids. It's either bad upbringing or just bad genes (see Marshmallow test). Either way, the parents shouldn't have had kids.

Still Mean.
You don't do that to little kids. If I had got the last one and a little kid really wanted it, I would have just given it to him. If kids are brats it's the parents fault.
Many years ago when I was in Las Vegas, I ended up winning a cute teddy bear. A little girl loved it so much she begged her dad to win one for her, but he could not. I just gave it to her, and I got the biggest smile ever in return.
Kids will be kids, why be mean to them?

Though brash in my comment, I was not a huge fan of how that story went down.

I don't think people are really bad here as they sometimes make themselves to be. They are just dramatizing some opinions, and having fun.

Maybe he was saving the sweet, innocent children from the employees putting the pies up their asses and spitting on them.

Reddit:

This kid was out of control, screaming, punching his mother throwing around a gameboy whenever something didn't go right in the game. The mother didn't seem to pay any attention to him and his continued yelling of 'I want a Fucking PIE'.

If the kid is old enough to behave like that, he's old enough to learn that what goes around comes around.

This isn't some cute, nice kid.

No doubt he is a brat. One day he might join a gang and start raping and killing. The parents probably use the F word all the time and in front of the children, and themselves might be criminals.
He is still a kid with rotten parents. Clearly he is better off without such parents.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

He should have stood in front of the kid and eaten 22.

Then stomped the 23rd.

Belched.

And walked out.

LOL.
The brat might scoop it off the floor, and his rotten mom would approve.

I suspect this is an old story from 20 years ago. The kid is Kim Jung-un, and he's been eating those pies for decades.

I snarf your pie. I snarf it all down.

Whoever eats my pies, dies!

sbh says

It would have been great negative reinforcement to have given all the pies to other well behaved kids, right in front of the little shithead.

Yup. Look, if you're a good little boy, the reward is a shitty piece of BK pie. Now keep up the good work, or no more shiity BK pie for you!

Before I had my own kids, I had a lot of opinions about how I would and would not allow my children to act. After I had children, I got to eat many of the judgmental words that came out of my mouth on that matter.

The article didn't say the age of the kid. But my guess is we're talking about a little kid. Even good toddlers have a bad day every now and then.

When my son was two, I took him and his twin sister to a Mexican restaurant. Though the chips usually kept them quiet and busy, unfortunately, the chips didn't work that day. My son saw a Bissel carpet sweeper in the corner and he wanted it like nothing he had ever wanted before. The meltdown that followed when I told him he had to stay in his seat was one for the Guinness Book. Within minutes, his sister decided to join in on the nuclear meltdown. So, I asked for our food to go, and it took two waiters and two sympathetic patrons to get the food and my kicking and screaming children to the car.

I was like a deer in the headlights. My kids had never done that before... and they've never done it again since. To this day, I have no idea what got into everyone that night. That was a very bad day that ended with a very large glass of wine.

Anyway, this guy didn't help anything by buying up all those pies. All he did was risk the snapping of that mother's last thread of sanity... All to make some point about something for which he couldn't possibly have all the facts. He's a jerk!

This is why I prefer kids-unfriendly restaurants nowadays.

Why would you give a 2 year old a large glass of wine?

I bet that makes him sleep better!

She said she has twins, obviously she needed a large glass. I hope it was red wine, as it's healthier for toddlers.

Peter P says

I can understand. When my son was a toddler we went to a restaurant in Beverly Hills. They had no high chair, so we strapped him in his car seat. He made such a racket, bothering all the other customers, we were asked to take him to the parking lot. We got the message and left.

Why use red wine on toddlers when Ritalin and SRRIs work so well?

I guess white wine would only make them more wired, sugar rush!

Quigley says

Or that there's a special condition (ADHD) that explains why the kid won't listen, obey, or refrain from making an unholy mess wherever he goes.

The symptoms of ADHD sound a lot like the characteristics of childhood. I prefer active parenting to chemical restraints.

We had AWDD growing up. Ass Whooping Deficit Disorder, nothing a good parental flogging wouldn't cure.

You should have just brought him back out to the car in his car seat, strapped him back into the car, and went back into the restaurant and enjoyed your meal.

You have no idea what my wife is capable of if I even suggest something sensible like that. Women are just not capable of grasping the obvious.

The wine was for me. The kids got Benadryl. It was allergy season, of course ;).

Call it Crazy says

Yeah, those women just don't grasp the logic... Many times I suggested we just leave the kids in the car when we had shopping to do. I even offered, because I'm a nice guy, to leave a bowl of water in the car when it was 80 degrees out in case they got thirsty.

I could never get my wife to go along with that plan, she just doesn't get our logic??

Well, you mentioned nothing about cracking the windows.... I can see her concern.

Call it Crazy says

Gee, what a coincidence... Our kids suffered from time to time during allergy season, so we gave them Benadryl too, even in the middle of the Winter.... It really helped cure their issues :)

Either I or my husband just have to say, "Do the kids seem a little stuffy to you, tonight?" We are so on it!

Seriously CIC, tears in my eyes right now just knowing how much we share in our dedication to the fight against childhood allergies.

We were hoping he would quiet down, but they asked us to leave first.

We eventually ended up in a Mexican restaurant, and told the guy there our kid makes a racket and a mess. I still remember his smile and saying "it's Ok"

Would it have been so terrible for him to play with the vacuum cleaner?

BTW the guy could have used this for AF fast food etiquette:

After the meltdown began, I had the same thought. The problem was I had already said, "no." You're right. It probably wouldn't have been a big deal for him to play with the Bissel. But for me to give in after I had already said no, might have appeared to my son that I was giving in because he had thrown an over-the-top tantrum. He wouldn't have understood that I re-evaluated and decided it would probably be okay. I couldn't let him think that tantrums were a way for him to get what he wants.

A no win situation.

Cept the mothers little helpers.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

The mom should have bought the alleged pies from the guy and eaten them while the guy lapped at her genitals and she screamed in insensate ecstasy.

Would have given her real credential on PatNet.

Come on, she's not a realtor.

Call it Crazy says

You missed a great opportunity. You should of had them hire your son to do the vacuuming and other cleaning. How about washing the dishes too? I wonder what the hourly rate would have been.

Many kids have been trained not to work. The Hispanics have taken away much of the opportunity to work away.

There you go.... My Hispanic children taking away all the vacuuming jobs. They are very tricky about it with their blonde hair and blue eyes and inability to speak the language or identify with the culture.... But that's what makes them such clever job stealing Hispanic kids (Puerto Rican on my dad's side).

Exactly that is what I meant.

A purse full of large tywraps and ducttape would have mitigated the situation in a heartbeat.

Don't forget the travel size Wild Kingdom tranquilizer dart gun.

Don't forget the travel size Wild Kingdom tranquilizer dart gun.

These should be distributed on all airplane flights, to subdue terrorists, screaming infants, people who can't fit their carry-on luggage into the overhead bin, people ahead of you in line for the lav... At the end of the flight, the ground crew could load the unconscious passengers onto the baggage claim belts, where they'd go around and around until they wake up or somebody claims them.

kids throwing a tantrum in public and their parents ignoring it is like a fart analogy. You don't mind smelling your own but no one else wants to.

Benadryl? Must be some pretty wussie, passive children.

I thought that nothing short of a tranquilizer rifle with elephant juice and multiple rounds worked any more.
