Me it has to be when children that can walk are still drinking out of bottles. Or older children with paci's (like we saw a kid playing a ds and he was also sucking on a pacifire... What bugs you?What is your biggest parenting pet peeve?
For me it's definitely the older kids walking around with pacifiers. Especially when they try to talk and keep it in their mouth. Drives me crazy.
The other one is the extreme overuse of juice! There really isn't any reason to give a child juice, it really is nothing more than sugared water.
Edit:
Here's another one: People who think that they aren't being judgmental when they say to someone else, ';Don't be so judgmental.';What is your biggest parenting pet peeve?
Toddlers and preschoolers left largely unsupervised. We were at one of those indoor mall playgrounds and there was a five year old playing alone. After a few minutes, it became clear that there was no parent there. Turns out, mom was next door getting a pedicure (and not even facing the playground). Security said it happens every single day.
I see similar stuff at parks %26amp; playgrounds everywhere. Parents and nannies on the phone with their back to their kids, sitting in their cars, or flat out absent while their toddlers %26amp; preschoolers are playing.
My biggest pet peeve. I went hiking a month ago, I get out of our truck and in the car next to us is a 2 year old asleep in a car by herself. I look around, nobody. My husband and our friends were searching everywhere, while I stayed with the little girl, who woke up and was scared. One of our friends said forget this and went and got the park ranger. We finally found the mother, who was hiking, she said ';Oh is she awake?'; That is what makes me mad leaving your child alone, in an unlocked car no less, in the summer heat!
Another pet peeve, my son is 6, he has friends who call to see if they can come over to our house. I would never let my son call someone and invite himself over. If my son wanted to invite a friend over to our house thats fine, but inviting yourself over is rude.
OK my last pet peeve. Parents who smoke in their house. I have a daycare, when I open some of the kid's bags they stink so bad. I have to put them outside to air it out. Its disgusting.
Mine is parents throwing lavish 1 year old birthday parties, where I have to contain my kids while theirs open gifts and not break all the nick nacks they didnt put away. Especially when scheduled during my kids nap time.
Then theirs the competitive parents, bragging about their genius 9 month olds.
So its far more the parents.
My biggest pet peeve with parents is the fact they do NOTHING to discipline their children and then turn around and complain about their child's behavior!
nosy parents bug me.
Seriously, if its not your kid you cannot judge. If my son has a tantrum in public, I will deal with it. I don't need anyone telling me to spank him and he will shape up. If my child uses a binky at 3, its my problem, not yours. Focus on your kids, not on others.
One thing that bugs me is when they just aren't being practical. Like when they aren't watching their kids when they are out, and they wander away, or when they have them in a shopping cart and they turn their back and aren't watching them, and the kid starts to get up from the seat. Things like that. I know I'm not perfect, I'm sure others could criticize me for things too, but I try to have SOME common sense and show it.
The pacifiers are a big trigger with me.
Parents who allow the child to act out in the store are awful too. I mean I understand a crying, tired child, but when the kids are being abusive and over the top, get them the hell out of the store.
parents who seem oblivious to the fact that they have kids with them. we watched a mom in walmart the other day she had a little girl with her at the most was 15 months the baby wandered off from her. my husband grabbed the baby and took her back to her mother who was on a cell phone. if he hadnt grabbed her she would have wandered in to the parking lot and she had the balls to scream and yell kidnapper at my husband lucky for us a store employee has also seen the little girl heading for the door and told her that the child had wandered off and that she needed her in the cart or a stroller next time. she got all pissy with them cussed us some more and left.
the bottles and pacis would be number two on my list
3rd is seeing a 5-6 year old healthy child demanding his diaper be changed or in one case he wanted to be breast fed and he was 9
parents who get mad when you ask questions like this...they get so defensive because they aren't a good parent.
Parents who don't make their children behave in public and treat others with respect.
I think other parents thinking they are better and judging how other kids are being raised is my biggest pet peeve. Why can't parents just worry about thier own kids and not try to feel better about themselves by putting others down.
thats why people like you bug me.
I don't like it when people put their children on leashes.
It frustrates me when family members undermine your authority. I ask my son to put his shoes on and he doesn' t want to for whatever reason. Then a minute later my mom is doing it for him. Also, I am trying to get him ready to leave their house so we can go home and cook dinner and they ask him if he wants some ice cream. It makes it very difficult to parent a child when they learn they can go to the others to get their way. Sadly, it's not even the child's fault, but they are the ones put in the middle.
I mean everyone has their own way of doing things but. the things i dislike are
Parent's that yell and scream at there kid's
Kid's that hit and scream and it shows that their parents arent disiplining them at all
Parents that treat their kids like they are objects rather than little people. I picked my son up at daycare and watched one mother in action. She never stopped talking on her cell phone, went to the door, snapped her fingers, made the 'lets go' face and they were gone. I watched her son's face just crash when she walked in. No better than training a dog, and she never skipped a beat.
Parents that have to one-up you. Can't just exchange cool thoughts about your children, have to always come up with a story about some over the top achievement their kid did. Competition is ugly when its put on the actions of children.
Parents that make excuses for poor behavior in their kids. No, he is not tired/hungry/bored/sick/feverish/advance鈥?doesn't have manners because you have not instilled them. Weak parents that think somehow, later in life all of the things that were hard to do, so they didn't do them, will just miraculously happen to their kids. They will wake up one day and say 'thank you', 'please', 'I'm sorry', or 'I love you' with out being prompted.
Lazy parents, that think just turning a kid loose on the playground is quality time. Why have them if your not going to interact with with them.
These are some of the things that bother me.
My biggest pet peeve is mothers (or fathers) who ignore their kids. I'll be at the park with my son and another kid is throwing sand, taking kid's toys, pushing kids around, etc. I look over and the mom is sitting on a bench talking on her cellphone or reading a magazine. Come on! Watch your kid!
Parent's who don't pay attention to their child's schoolwork, don't attend school meetings,conferences, or activities. They just expect the school to do everything and then wonder why their children are behind.
It annoys me when people are judgmental about other peoples parenting skills.
%26amp; when parents allow their children to get in situations where they can harm themselves.
I am totally with you that bugs me more than anything to see a child 3 or 4 years old with a bottle or a pacifier. also counting I saw a mom the other day threaten her child with counting to 5. My children had better do what I tell them with out me counting to them. If I have to count it means i need to calm down.
