Today, I was standing in line at the checkout, and my children were arguing with each other. The guy in front of me sighed loudly and told me over his shoulder: "There're these things called condoms, you know." FML

Ask him if his parents know about them, rude prick.

I guess his parents didn't get the memo either

You know...I know be nice to others and crap but some people just need a wonderful smarty retort like "I suppose your parents missed the memo of condoms too then" or anything to get a dig in him. Just saying, set the example to your kids - be nice to everyone until someone spouts off then it's perfectly fine to be a smart mouth because as long as you don't punch the bitch can't sue

Lets just hope he doesn't reproduce, there's enough negative people in this world already

Maybe OP needs to control her children in public places.

Do you have siblings? They were arguing. It happens. Doesn't mean OP's children were out of control. I've seen "grown ups" argue too, who is responsible for controlling them??

Depends on how bad the arguments were.

No matter how well behaved ones children may be, they are never perfect 100% of the time. Even if a parent has a pretty firm hand, the best kids act out now and again. They're kids. So her kids may normally be pretty well behaved and this is just one of those times. Don't judge unless your kids are perfect angels. Which they're not.

That's not really a good answer to this because u don't know what op is going through I have a brother with autism and sometimes he is hard to control in public it's not my moms fault she does a great job it's just that some kids are a bit more difficult than others

She said arguing. At least, the children weren't full on fighting! You try to control children 24/7 . They fight, bicker, argue. That's what they do! Don't be so quick to blame OP!

The "prick" wouldn't have had anything to say if the parent could teach the children to behave. Before you blame, think about what you could have done first.

Oh, shut UP. All kids do this at some point. I was generally a well-behaved kid, with parents who were DEFINTELY not lax in teaching me how to behave (I'm 20 and I'm still a little afraid of pissing my mother off) and even I had moments where I absolutely behaved like a hellion. Apparently I threw a fit at my baptism when I was five. (Apparently I'm the only one who doesn't remember this gem from my childhood.) Wasn't my parents' fault; I was a damn little kid. That's what little kids do: Misbehave sometimes. I love kids, but if you want something that never ever EVER misbehaves, get an American Girl doll.

Thank you!!!!!! If anything, it's good for siblings to argue because it hones their individuality lets them form opinions and personalities. My siblings and I argued all the time, but now that we're older and can express ourselves better, we can discuss things civilly. Children just haven't learned that skill yet.

I think people seem to forget that ALL kids do this at some point..even the ones who are usually very well behaved. Everyone has a bad day. Sorry the guy in front of you was so rude.

I hate people like this. And for the people blaming OP, SHUT UP. We don't know what OP was doing to control the situation. I love, love, LOVE kids, but they can be hard to handle sometimes, no matter what you do to control them. It happens. I was a well-behaved kids, and even I had moments where I absolutely lost my shit. I'm guessing you people don't have kids.

Guess again. Mine don't misbehave in public & if they do, we leave immediately. I don't inflict mine on you, & you should do the same. Especially in restaurants! If i'm paying for a meal & an evening out. I don't want to have to endure your little brats. Stay at home until they can act appropriately. And I purposely stay away from places that are kud friendly such as McDonald's playlands & Chuck E. Cheese because I know these are designed especially for kids.

#31: Where do I order more people like you for the world, please?

Doesn't mean you are entitled to everyone letting it happen without comment. Kids will throw fits, but its up to the parents to either control their children or find ways to do this. Staying home is one of them.

You're right we don't know what OP was doing to control the situation. For all we know the kids could have been arguing for a while and being disruptive to everyone. Now I don't think what the man said was acceptable, but you can't blame for being annoyed.

31 arguing is misbehaving now? Do your children have an emotion chip or are they emotionless robots?

Arguing with each other is how they eventually learn compromise and conflict management. If it was adults arguing no one would question if they should have been born.

What kind of trashy adults sit in the grocery store and argue?

I've seen them. I've seen couples argue in public. Just because they are arguing doesn't mean they are making a scene.

@33 I'm guessing you haven't seen an adult freak out over a single sandwich being wrong at a fast food place.

And that asshole never argued with his siblings? Seriously some people really need to keep their comments to themselves and their noses out of other people's business.
