KK, they should pay for your phone's replacement.
Rumpleteazer: Parents should pay for anything their kid breaks. That is why my mother told me to keep my hands in my pockets and not touch anything.
There are plenty of well behaved kids out there and plenty of parents who are doing a fine job of raising their kids. This is one of those topics that always seems to lead to a string of "this kid was awful" and even more bitching. Nine times out of ten you don't notice the kids who are well behaved because they are well behaved. We complain about the crying kid on the plane or the poorly behaved kid at the grocery store because we can see them or hear them. Do we seek out the parents whose kid is playing quietly on the plane or the parent whose kid is keeping his hands to himself and walking nicely at the grocery store? Nope because they are doing what they are suppose to do but it is not easy to get there.
And yeah, telling a woman whose kids are misbehaving that she should use the pill is offensive and wrong. Complaining to her that her kid is whacking you with the grocery cart is one thing but seriously?
We bring books and small toys when we are out with little man. When he was potty training I brought cleaning materials with me just in case he had an accident because I thought that was my responsibility. If he starts misbehaving, we take him out of the restaurant. We are not the only ones. Parenting is hard. Your parents worked their ass off so that you could be your stellar selves. I am guessing that you probably ended up being the subject of someones bitch session because you were not perfect as a kid. And I seem to recall watching movies in the 90's that included adults worried about kids today and then seeing movies from the 70's were adults worried about the kids today and the complaint goes back, probably a few thousand years or so.
