you've seen them definitely heard them this is about the fact that when they freak out and cry,throw stuff etc. the parents act like nothings happening I've always wanted to walk up to one of those and smack them both to shut up what about you?
This is one of those things where you cannot control, even if you are the parents. If they bring them along somewhere, then that's fine; babysitting is costly, especially if they are new parents, teenage parents, parents that just got a job, etc.
I'm going to use the age-old counter-argument and say "You were a toddler too--I bet you did the same things"! haha

That's because if you do something when they have a temper tantrum, they will keep doing it. That's why they do nothing. -.-
My cousin used to hold her breath all the time as a child, my aunt and uncle just left her, and she fainted. When she woke up, she was scared as hell and never did it again.
Sounds horrible, but it worked. Just wait until you have to deal with children.
it may surprise people to learn that it's usually the parents fault. i see toddlers having tantrums all the time until the parents give them what they want. this just makes them worse. what my Dad did was: never give in to whiny children.that's it. my brothers and i almost never had tantrums about trivial things after the first couple of times.
there's that invisible wall called 'society' and 'law' preventing me from backhanding every whiny toddler i see, butya theres the wall.
well my lil bro is a grown up one of these in this case, he acts all pitiful or gets mad if something doesn't work out right, and it ticks me off. alot. then he go whines and ya. MEGAticked.
There are in fact decent strategies available to deal with whiny toddlers. One cardinal rule is never to resort to bribery. The next is to be as consistent as possible. Evidence suggests that resorting to smacking etc. isn't what makes a difference so much as the first two points, which further suggests that physical discipline of the painful variety isn't actually necessary when dealing with toddlers. Calling "timeout" and basically teaching the kids that no, you can't have your own way all the time is crucial... and something that people seem to be learning less and less these days.
I just got left to it.... I used to kick and scream if I didn't get a toy I wanted, and my parents just walked away. I soon followed being scared I'd lose them in the shop :'( Well one time I just walked out the toys'r'us with one of the toys looking for my parents, they said I never brought it back xD Young thief, good times.
