Screaming Kids

One of the neighbor's grandkids (little kid) is screaming and crying at the same time... I can hear their parent telling them they can't stay with grandpa... *sigh* Just put them in the car already. Don't torture the rest of the neighborhood by letting them scream and cry where we have to listen to it. (I'm in my house with all the doors and windows closed and it sounds like the kid is standing beside me screaming their head off. )

Let’s hope they parent well enough for these tantrums not to follow them into adulthood! I can understand your ire.

I really hope so... Most of the kids and grandkids are fairly respectful and take the little ones inside when they start bawling... This was a young-ish grandson with his first kid, I think. (The guy looks around 20 years old.)

That is frustrating. It reminds me of times when I awas in a store and the child kept screaming because they couldn't have what they wanted. My granddaughter tried that once and I marched her out of the store.

Pretty tried that when she was around 10 years old. I left the basket of stuff I was planning on buying and dragged her out of the store. And no, I didn't go back and buy anything that day. She stayed with her grandma for two years any time I needed to go into a store.

@DaddyEvil A lesson well learned I bet. Kids need to be taught what is right and what is wrong.

@velvet53 She tried it again when she was around 15 years old. I walked out of the store and drove home, leaving her to walk the two miles home. (One of my brothers called and said she was walking and asked if I wanted him to bring her home. I told him what had happened and to let her walk.)

@jstory07 I hope the parent learns that isn't a good idea before the kid reaches their teens.

We live opposite a school and there is one kid over there who occasionally must lose it and screams and screams. If I can hear it with our extra-thick glass and across the road and parking lot, how incredibly loud must it be if you're standing next to them?

I agree... The teachers should make him/her stop doing that.

For how long has this been going on? I’d hate to have to listen to this for hours.

Grandpa went back into his house and closed the door after about ten minutes. Thank goodness!

@DaddyEvil That’s a relief!
