scatty Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I hate kids who scream. For any reason, except I may forgive them if they are being eaten by wolves. My neighbor's kids are 1 & 3 YO and scream all the time. I know they are neglected, and their parent's have the intelligence of saran wrap, but it is still annoying. The parents laugh while the kids shriek this high pitch that can only come by voice lessons or abuse. If my kids screamed, I tended to their needs or disiplined them. I did not let them run around the house with baseball bats screaming, which what it sounds like next door. It's even worse when the screaming children are ugly. It might be mean- but they really are not nice looking children. One looks like Charles Manson sans the Nazi tatto and one looks like an infant meth addict, if you can imagine such a thing! Plus these are the neighbors who introduced our whole strip with coackroaches, and put me through fucking hell with the once a week treatments due to moving all our kitchen items elsewhere several times until I nearly snapped! I don't mind kids playing, banging, running up and down the stairs, jumping, running, stomping, but the fucking SCREAMING I can't deal with. I am about to play hardball and turn my surround sound up to max whenever they scream. I already did that once, and they turned their surround sound up to max and blew their speakers and we saw them bringing them to the dumpster the next day! Can't complain to management, cuz it is before 10 pm, except for their baby that wakes up every 2-3 hours at ! year old and we just hear her crying until someone gets up, which takes 30-40 minutes. LAZY PARENTS! Thanks for letting me vent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagar Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Pretty much all children irritate me to some degree, honestly. But I agree that those who scream are a special kind of infuriating. Especially the ones I'm related to. Edited March 17, 2013 by hagar running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatty Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Oh god! My neighbors kids are so annoying I almost forgot to complain about my nephew. Mostly cause I can chose not to visit him. I can't decide if he is just over-indulged or needs medication. My 11 YO son complains he is too stressful, and my son is hyper with ADHD. My brother and his wife let him do whatever and he taught my 3 yr old neice to be a terror along with him. I can't even talk to my brother on the phone, as his kids just climb all over him and scream, and I have a panic attack just listening to it. Him and his wife fight all the time and have no knowledge how to raise kids- if I suggest a book or t.v. show to help I am high and mighty. But my kids have never done this shit and my brother used to babysit them, so you think he would take my advice. Or get the kid evaluated and medicated since my bro has ADHD, OCD, and depression. But he said that would make him a failure as a parent- but the only way he got a college degree was therapy and medication. I wanted a neice and a nephew, but I cannot stand them and my kids can't either. It's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysergia Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 ugh. there is nothing that makes me unreasonably angry more than a screaming child. i get seriously irrationally ragey. i end up having to leave wherever i am. if it was next door to me, i'd have to move, else get arrested for attacking the parents.

The Emperor Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Wow. Your children must be like, really really good. Hell, my kid is an awesome kid, but she screams when she gets mad/sad. I mean ear piercing, glass shattering screaming. I don't know why. Guess I'm a horrible parent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfranco92 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 oh god fuck crying babies and children. i have absolutely no tolerance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I have no tolerance now either. Somehow, it used to not bother me one bit when I was around children all the time. When the meds started to pile on was when I just could not deal anymore with the screaming/tantrums. My brain was/is too overloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eee123 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Oh god, I hate kids that kick the back of goddam seat for hours on a plane or bus right next to their parent and scream and stuff and then the parent gets the shits that I turn around and ask them to stop. Don't get me started on the parents that have a two year old on the plane in the seat next to them (in front of me), for which they paid maybe 10% of the proper fare, and they recline that kids seat fully before the plane even takes off, WHILST I am trying to get into my seat and put my stuff away. Then after take-off they sit the kid in the basinet that they were given for no extra cost in the row with no-one in front of them, with extra leg room, which they payed no extra money for. They then keep the kids seat reclined for the entire flight (long haul) including when I am eating my meals. Or if they do after me prompting the flight attendant to ask them, agree to put their kids vacant seat forward during a meal, they are guaranteed to unexpectedly and violently recline their seat whilst I still have my empty tray table or drink there, cause they want to sit their kid in the seat for a minute, god forbid their two year old has to endure a minute or two of reduced legroom.

Alien Navel Cord Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think parents should dilligently teach their children NOT to scream. I live at an apartment complex, and the kids here scream so much that I am never sure if they are playing or becoming the victims of a predator. People get used to kids screaming while playing all the time, so what if some malevolent individual DOES come and snatch a child, and the child starts to scream for help? No one will notice or come running, because kids just always scream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldorado Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I can't decide if the government should deal with screaming children with a "three strikes" policy or should just use "zero tolerance". I keep showing up at city council meetings demanding that they do something about all theses screaming brats. I point out how they are dragging my property value down. The politicians say they will do something when they are running for office, but they never do anything once they get elected. It turns out that these lazy, neglectful parents actually get tax breaks for having these screaming brats. My tax dollars are going to subsidize their screaming. I tried to get rid of a tenant I have who has a screaming kid, because of all the complaints I was getting. It turns out that parents of screaming kids can sue their landlords if they try to evict them because they have kids. In some cities, these screaming brats even get to go to their own special "children's" hospital. If I start screaming, I have to waiting in the waiting room, just like everyone else. When my kids were young, I tried to do the responsible then when they got really excited and started screaming. But it turns out that the "authorities" (who elected them anyway?) got all high and mighty just because I gave my toddler a few ounces of NightQuil. What was I supposed to do, let them scream? I kept telling my three year old to grow the hell up and get ahold of himself, but he would just blubber and cry when I tried to tell him to accept responsibility. If these screaming brats are the future, I want to check out now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamelessCandle Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I agree that children should be taught - gently - not to be screamers. It's actually possible to do that. My children were by NO means perfect - far from it - but they were not screamers. I think my son did it once at a store, and I walked right out leaving my cart behind (No, I had not paid yet!) It was a hassle for me, since we needed groceries, but there was to be a "reward" for behaving (something special from the store), and no way was he getting a reward for screaming. I simply said "If you scream, we cannot be out in public." .... "We're going home, where you will go to your room until you can settle down." That said, we'll always have children (and parents) who are screamers. I often notice that when a child is screaming, the parent starts losing it and yells at or even hits the child, which equals - you guessed it - more and louder screaming. I cannot STAND when this happens; you have a screaming/crying child, and the parent is hitting the child/yelling at the child to STOP screaming. Yeah, that's gonna happen. Solution? Ok...this is kinda hard to do, but I try to smile at or otherwise acknowledge the parent and say something like "boy, they're tough at that age, aren't they?" That sort of breaks the cycle of parent yelling and kid screaming, at least for a moment....then I've tried to engage the child by smiling or asking question (depends on child's age). I don't want to sound like I am some do-gooder child-whisperer or something ..... but I do believe you can teach a child not to be a screamer, but you cannot do it by screaming or hitting the child. And I feel sorry for the parents, since they are probably on their "last nerve". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
