New Parenting Classes, Direct From The Hitler Institute

[Syndrome]

Crocs...lions...anything with sharp teeth would be appropriate. Or maybe eject 'em into the cheetah habitat. Those lazy creatures are always laying around when I see them, so maybe some tasty SG prey would get 'em up and demonstrating their speed.

[dancinghomer]

OUCH , BW... That's the pits. I feel for you.

Speaking of pits, you might suggest to the higher-ups to install row-specific ejector seats. Just slow down by the croc pits, push the proper button, and the brat and his sadistic "parents" can EEEEEEEEEEE all the way down to their doom. :mad:

LOL, this was one of the first things that popped into my head when I read the original post. I'm not sure if this is a "great minds think alike" moment or a sign that I spend too much time reading SGT.

I can't help but wonder how these parents got this way, to where they see pleasure in someone else's pain. Actually, as I think about it, it scares me to death to think that this child will grow up in the ways they are training him. Some things I just don't understand

.

Sadly the answer to your question is that some people are just sick and enjoy making other people suffer.

Wallaby, I have to tell you, what upset me on this past trip was that I have never seen such horrible parenting- or total lack there-of, in my life. And the behavior of some of the parents themselves was equally apalling!

I told my husband it will take me a while to even contemplate going back and dealing with crowds of people- I was so overwhelmed by the time we left- I think we may have to keep going during hurricane/sweltering heat season cause I just can't take the crowds. Of course, now that they put free dining in there in September the parks will be busy then too. Good for Disney but not those of us who are not people- persons anymore.

I used to be such a people person. Now I swear, I could live in an island with just my immediate family, a computer, as long as food and cleaning supplies were delivered regularly- I could be perfectly happy as a hermit!

I looked at my DH the last day we were there after one experience we had (which I will be posting about soon) and said, how do CM's do this every day? I just don't know. My hat is off to you all, that's for darn sure.

It sounds like BW needed the assistance of the SGT Bongo!!

[joanna71985]

Oh my gosh! That is horrible! Not only did they hurt you on purpose, that was EXTREMELY dangerous! What stupid morons!

[darph nader]

I'm going to go with the majority here.First off this SUCKS, secondly pull over and throw them off the bus. (preferably by the hungry lions)
You 'should' have stopped and called security, Interfering with the operation of a multi-passenger vechile.
What ass-holes. :mad:

[Princess Susi]

I am stunned! I knew the stupidity levels were high, but this one just takes the cake. I wish you had called security while being stopped in the middle of the ride and they would have been shown the door. That was dangerous, very dangerous. If I had been on that vehicle with you, I would have said something to these people and perhaps made a suggestion to the driver to call security. I would have said something about that action putting all the passengers in danger. Period. That is one of the most unacceptable actions I have ever heard of. :mad: This is one of those times I wish I had been there amidst the SGs. I will NOT tolerate that shit at all ever. :mad:

I am so sorry Wallaby that you had to deal with that. :( Sadly, I am beginning to have less and less faith in the human race. You see more and more of this behavior all the time.

I had the TV on yesterday and was not watching, but listening from the office and the sound was up. I usually change the channel midday to catch Judge Judy "If it does not make sense, then it cannot be true!" or so she says....But we know about how Disney runs their parks sometimes....

Springer came on and I listened and there were two women(?) that each had several children, each child having a different father or *baby daddy* as they called it. One of the women had 5 kids, each had a different father and this woman was so uneducated that the kids were not going to get a very good chance in life. This is the breeding ground for this type of behavior, BUT this rude behavior comes from all walks of life. As I listened to these women talk, I could not help but feel hopeless for the future of the country. This story just solidifies that feeling even more.

That incident is unnacceptable behavior...in adults especially! I wonder where they learned that this was okay. And to tell their child to scream in your ear right next to your head ON PURPOSE? That is rude beyond anything I think I have read here. What were the other guests on the truck doing or saying about it? Or could you even hear them or know what they were doing?

You really should have stopped the vehicle and said that it was painful to you AND DANGEROUS to the rest of the guests, BUT I can understand your being so shocked that it just blew your mind and you could not think to do anything. Not to mention that you had a screaming headache and one cannot think so well when their head is pounding. I would have been pounding them for you, at least with words...You should bring me along on all your safaries, I will be your body gaurd and ward off the SGs.

That was more than an SG however. That was a dangerous guest and a very stupid and mean spirited guest. Not one that should be allowed in the Parks at all...ever.
These people should have: :bbbat: :clubb: :duh: :2team: :shock: :stick: :tossout: all of these done to them! In the end they should have been shown the exit.

When I am there on your safari truck, NO one, and I do mean, NO one better harass you! They will get mean, old, crabby, menopausal, in pain Susi-Q on their case! :rollpin2:
Hugs Wallaby!

See? This is why some folks shouldn't breed.

I am appalled that the father encouraged the behavior. It's bad enough that they were laughing, but to let it continue is beyond me.

I agree with the other responses. If I had pulled that when I was a kid, (famous last words) my momma would knocked me into next week.

Of course I was raised better.

Now I'm just a freak. ;)

But at least I don't squeal into people's ears or ask the driver a million questions during the ride!

Susi, I would respectfully disagree that lack of education in the parents or children is a 'breeding ground' for bad behavior in children. Not everyone gets to have a college education but they may do all they can to be sure their children are well behaved- and well educated.

My father is not a college educated man, but he built a successful business and ran it until retirement, working his butt off so that we could have things like nice Disney vacations as we were growing up. I am not a college graduate though I had scholarship offers for singing (long story) and I was a single mother for awhile after my divorce- I worked some 'comfy' office jobs and some very humble ones- including second-shift cashier at a 24 hour grocery- but my child is VERY well behaved and has been all her life because I raised her to know right from wrong to the best of my ability.

As you said, rudeness comes from all walks.

By far the worst behavior I saw on this trip was from the so-called 'all american' nuclear family- one mom, one dad, kids and usually a couple grandparents along. Could one of the parents be a step parent? maybe. But as much as most of these kids looked like their parents, I doubt it.

Aside from one elementary school group who seemed to be on a field trip our first day and was EXTREMELY well behaved- I doubt that a single child I saw the rest of our trip comes from a family that was below what we'd call comfortable, middle-class america.

Believe me, I live in a very diverse area that has it all- from so called 'regular' families with two parents that live in five bedroom, three car garage- residences to households where every kid does have different parentage and single moms struggle to pay the electric bill- but I'll tell you- with the economy the way it is here, for the most part any of the kids in my neighborhood would thank their lucky stars for a chance to go to WDW and would be so in awe once they got there, the last thing on their mind would be misbehaving.

Spoiled is the term that I kept thinking of when I saw kids this past trip.

Disinterested, pouty teenagers with their eyes rolling and arms crossed, unless, of course, they were too busy texting to cross their arms.

Elementary aged boys AND girls bent on literally destroying everything in their path.

Pre-school girls especially having meltdowns if they didn't get EVERYTHING they wanted in the gift shop, even if they were already dressed to the nines in the COMPLETE BBboutique line (which is not cheap!)

Excess is what is ruining the kids in America. Maybe the adults, too. It's the entitlement attitude that kills me- in kids and adults alike.

Ironically- we didn't see that much of this behavior at the Grand- you could tell for most of the families staying there that it was a big event- one they had saved a long time for (like us). Or that they had come from another resort to dine there and were excited to be there.

At other resorts, I saw it more- in the parks was the absolute worst. Overall- every time we go, the behavior of the masses just worsens.

I remember thinking several times how grateful I was that I could vent here about the SGs when I got home LOL. A couple times my husband even said "Great board material there" and I knew he wasn't talking about any other board but this one LOL

I also saw this as well Bru! I was almost appalled at the sight of it. As if $200+ on the BBB visit isn't enough?! remember what I had told you before about young people these days and the "My Super Sweet 16" mind thought? It's being pumped into girls younger and younger.

Truth be told, I tend to think the moms want it more than the girls as I
have seen on more than one occasion, completely disinterested tiny toddlers with full hair and make-up, being pushed around in strollers - dresses arranged around them all nice in a perfect circle- with mommy wearing a matching hair do grinning proudly. A Trophy Baby.
