You Know You're a Grouch When.....

[MouseWife]

Man, I didn't even think of people dumping, er, dropping their kids off at the library as a 'sitter'. I've always loved the library and its' quietness.

My son works at GameStop and people leave their kids there, some times for HOURS while they go to other stores, one lady went to lunch!!! I think the problem is they don't respect that they are not entitled to being there. I think that everyone is too concerned with being sued for this or that they don't tell people what to do.

LOL Oh man, I like that swearing part. See, I control my mouth out of respect for the little kids. But, you are right, if they don't show respect for me, well, seems about a fair trade!!!

LSPE~ I got that GC was kidding. But, you are right. That is probably why I didn't give the kids a verbal lashing, I just wanted to get away from them. They aren't being taught how to be respectful people. I see it so much, parents think their kids deserve to do whatever they want that they don't realize they aren't teaching them boundaries.

It is very disappointing. Parents just don't parent.

It was very difficult to tell my son that he couldn't drive until he had a permit, blah blah blah. Well, the neighbor let his 12 year old son drive his truck, to the store. And, the other neighbor also let their kids drive at about 13/14. I mean, we don't live on a farm!!! {I understand that may be legal in that case?}

In the library situation, are you allowed to post a sign or something that states any unruly patrons are subject to being told to leave?
