I'm calling it now, you all are my witnesses to this declaration. I will not allow my children to be brats, scream in public or disobey me. I will not tell them to stop doing something and then carelessly allow them to do whatever they want, annoying all others within a 50 foot radius. I will not bring them with me to restaurants if they refuse to sit still.

I'm now remembering why I don't like children, too many parents are awful at parenting. We went to Za (food was terrific as usual), and there was a child there who was screaming for fun. Not because she was upset or anything, she just wanted to hear her own voice. The last time I checked, Za is not someone's home. There are other people there, complete strangers to this obnoxious child and her parents. Therefore, why for the love of God do we need to hear this go on and on and on. Why can't the parents do something, at least acknowleding the situation? Why did they continue to go on talking as if nothing was happening, even when the other toddler in the group decided to join in on the fun?

Really, I know this won't be a problem for me. I hate brats so much that I could never have one. If my child disobeys me, they are going in the corner. They will be spanked (although not hard, I don't want to hurt them). I will happily leave a store so that I can put them in a car, drive them home, and make them sit in the bathroom so that they get a real punishment and aren't in their bedroom playing with Barbies, Tonka trucks, Legos, or whatever other toys they'll have. I could never put up with any of that. I have no tolerance for any of that, and I think it's bad for the child to be brought up thinking that any of these things are ok. It leads to brats who think the world is there's and they can do/say/have whatever they want. It's disgusting. I'm even considering putting my kids in an etiquette school when they get old enough. That way, there is no excuse for them, they'll know what they should and shouldn't be doing all the time.

Boob watch, Day 21: They are definitely bigger. And heavier. How the hell do people walk around with huge boobs? I would have the worst back pain. I went shopping for the tax free day today (ending up spending about $22 for a savings of 1.10, how exciting), and I wanted to sit the entire time. If I can't even stand for an hour, how could I do so with 10 extra pounds on my chest? Just thinking about that makes me want to take a nap.
