I can’t teach my kids to behave in those places if I never take them there." I have a child and this still appalls me. Society is not here to suffer the burden of your screaming child. If the child can not behave, remove them from the establishment. Your poor "teaching" is not of my concern. My child knows what appropriate behavior is and that it's expected when we're in that environment. Oh yea, he's 2 1/2. “Please get over simply crying and whining at the grocery store and restaurants.

It tastes just like peanut butter but is made from soy, so it is totally safe for schools. It even has a "sticker" that you can attatch to your child's lunch so that the school knows it is made from Wowbutter and not peanut butter Instead of peanut butter, you can buy a product called WowButter.

The moment children in my family complain about the gifts I purchased them, I take the gift back from them and return it to the store for a full refund and keep the money for myself and shrug it off. They learn real quick to appreciate what they're given for free from my hard earned money. Nope, not at all.

I get the "experiencing things through your kids' eyes" - that's my favourite part of being a parent. I just think the Disney thing is too overblown and expensive. You don't "need" to go there to get the experience of seeing your kids thrilled, exicted or terrified. I did that this summer just around the corner from our house: http://www.dad-camp.com/2011/08/its-good-to-be-bad/ My point is Disney is great, but it's not some mandatory 4-8 yr old rite of passage that we're being led to believe. The marketing has worked wonders and put a lot of pressure on parents to do "the Disney thing". I'm glad my parents have stepped up with a desire to take my boys when they turn 6, because I'd rather spend $5000 - $7000 on a week in Hawaii, Mexico, France or anywhere else on the planet.
