WTF: Why must little kids scream incessantly?

I'd bet that a board of higher education got used a couple times........ I know it did around my house.

only the one time I broke a window (on purpose. was locked outta the house)
otherwise, it was never needed.
I was just born polite and well-mannered.

it kinda wore off some, I guess, but I'm still pretty decent.

when I'm not indecent, that is.
 
Well, there's the occasional scream of joy, but then there is the consisent and unyielding SCREAMS OF BLOODY MURDER that drive me fucking bonkers. It's as if that is just another part of the accepted language now.

When I was a kid, we didn't scream so much, because we were threatened with our lives if we did.
 
Young children have really poor communication skills, and they get frustrated, lash out, behave improperly, etc. This can, in time, be corrected with good parenting skills.

Then, soon enough, they learn to communicate all too well, and leave the yelling behind, and learn how to manipulate adults effortlessly.
 
They are LITTLE KIDS.

Fucking relax....don't grow into those people your parents warned you about.

There is nothing more satisfying that listening to little kids being little kids, especially when they don't know you're listening.

Embrace it.

Get over yourselves.

Because, face it....you are old, and your life sucks.

Don't project your misery and self-entitled arrogance onto the most innocent thing this world has to offer.

REALLY, all of you ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

Fuck this thread in its meat head face.

Acting like a bunch of fucktard Nazis, if you ask me.
 
I thought I was the drunken dick here.... :tongue:

I can see your point about playtime, but I can also see OP's thing about "ain't my kids, don't need to be in MY yard"
but being that my nearest neighbour is farther than I can throw a (helpI'mA)rock, :wink: it's never a concern for me.
if it were in MY house, you can bet yer ass I'd be sayin' something.
my house, my rules.


but I do agree with the "let kids be kids" thing.
which is why I do not generally allow kids in my house
my choice there...

either way, there's no need for constant shrieking.

I have a feeling some of us are thinking different things here

I guess what it is...is that I just don't "get" the shrieking thing.
we never did that as kids.
we made "pew pew" noises as we shot at each other

You are.
And you have zero idea of what you are talking about, but thanks for schooling me on what kids that you don't have ought to act like.

Holds a shit-ton of weight, imo.

Same can be said for a lot of people in this thread.
 
nice.

thanks!


I also don't own a horse, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be cool to let it randomly kick people around town.
but hey, let's let whoever do whatever the fuck they want on my property.
kids will be kids, right?

so the guys who ride snowmobiles across my lawn, thereby destroying it (with no permission to ride there)...if I bitch about that...I'm a douchebag, right?
I mean, it's only teenagers being teenagers, after all.


my point being...

where do you draw the line?

like I said, I get what both you and the OP are saying...

a kid hollering during play is one thing.
a kid shrieking ad nauseum for no reason, well, that's another thing.

I really think I am on a different page here.

but, since you wanted to make it personal, well...
I got a song for ya.
 
Let me guess, the song says "Fuck you."

And no, it's not directly personal.......more aimed at the "mob mentality."

Had a lot more typed out, but what's the point?

You'll be dead soon.

And you'll be remembered as a miserable old bastard who didn't suffer kids lightly.

Nice going.

I have enough problems to try to not be remembered for that......it's easy enough not to be an insufferable bastard to kids.

And the world would be a better place for it.

Just don't be a douche-bag to little kids. It doesn't cost anything......and it is easy enough to do.

Little kids are the best thing this world has to offer, it's free, and they'll remember you for it forever.
 
no, the song does not say that, actually.

it was a song about my son that I buried 21 years ago.

(although to be fair, most of my other songs DO say that)

I'll be dead soon?
yeah, probably.
no big whoop, ain't gonna be but a handful of folks that it will affect.

suffer kids lightly?
I like kids, usually.
Christ, I invited my boss's grandkids over to record a song using my gear.
they are 8 and 5.
I let them use my guitars (not the SG though)
and me and the 8yr old are still working on his song (he is still writing the words, can't wait!)

that doesn't mean I have to let them scream incessantly in my home or on my property.

that's the issue.


*ED*

"Little kids are the best thing this world has to offer, it's free, and they'll remember you for it forever."
couldn't agree more, but it's that one thing, and I think we just aren't thinking the same thing. I'm thinking that scene from that movie...
 
btw, I don't think I'm miserable...in fact, I kinda resent that :(
I think I'm pretty jolly here.

at least, I try to be.


I mean, no, I'm not happy with EVERYTHING inmy life, but, given my choices, I think things turned out pretty damn good.
they could have been a fuck of a lot worse, that's for sure.

Why oh why must little girls scream when they play? I got home from work a little over an hour ago and I finally had to go outside and tell a bunch of 6 yr olds from next door to knock it off. This shit is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Apparently on of 'em told mom, because I just had a nice chat with her. She says that they were ONLY playing. I said let them play like that in her house, not in front of mine. They can scream all they want if you let them.

:baimun: I'm sure most of the people were kidding... but yeah, I love the look in a kid's eyes and you can see the wonder and excitement of endless possibilities and imagination.
 
I was reading this thread while eating breakfast this morning. As I was reading, I felt the tug on my leg. It was my almost 16 month old son holding up a plastic flower trying to give it to me he had a smile on his face.

As I took the flower from him, he ran away with a high-pitched screech. It was one the best sounds are heard all morning. He was laughing and that's probably one of the best things I could ever ask to hear.

Little kids, especially the ones his age, can't communicate more than a few hand gestures that we've taught him and a few words. He screams in a high-pitched all the time. It's to show his excitement. That's all he can do at this point. And that's okay with me.

I actually agree with most of the coralong says... Except for calling people Nazis!!! Hearing little kids laugh, play and even scream is one of the best sounds ever.

We go to playgrounds, I hear little kids screaming the entire time. I love it. It shows that they are all excited and are having a great time. That being said, there's a time and place for everything. Whenever we go to a restaurant, if he starts acting up, we immediately apologize to those around us and have even left restaurants before we got our meals. I can't stand to see when the kid is running around the room and screaming while the parent does nothing. That is the worst kind of parenting. There's a saying "instead of saying kids will be kids, it's just that you're an asshole parent."

Normally I'd tend to agree, but a couple summers ago my hot next door neighbor (married, btw) had some young boy over for most of the summer. I think it was somebody's kid from the church that they attend.

Anyways….this kid would scream bloody murder at the top of his lungs while just playing around. I swear, the first time he did it, I seriously though one of the kids playing next door had done some grievous bodily harm, so I dropped what I was doing and rushed outside, dreading what I would find. Only to see that the kids were just merrily playing around.

Thing is, he screamed that way ALL SUMMER…. and I work 3rd shift. It took all my self control not to go over there and say something :embarrassed:

Last summer, he was over next door sometimes, yelled a bit, but nothing like the blood-curdling screams from the previous summer.
