Kids can't behave, get a BABYSITTER

Nov 24, 2013, 6:29 PM

I was able to get 2 tickets to the Citadel game for my son (El Cid 11) he wanted to take his best friend a UGA grad when they arrived, their seats were filled with stuff by others, a few nice please and thank you suggestions did nothing, an eventual loud and clear move your stuff from our seats,they moved their stuff.
then their daughters were in and out all game, one threw water all over my son and others, the parents said NOTHING and they knew what happened. the people behind them moved because of thse kids. when the kids did attempt to sit, one child constantly kicked my sons foot or pushed, PUNCHED or leaned against him. again NOTHING. Andrew said he couldn't enjoy the game with them constantly in and out of their seats, punching, kicking, moving around.
I was always a much stricter parent in public, I would have apologized and taken them to the bathroom for some spiritual advisement. I had certain expectations for my kids behavior in public which usually meant a stern lecture of the do's and dont's before we entered the event. apparently these parents are just drivers and roommates there is no parenting involved.
My sons friend said Clemson was great (he loved the ESSO club) but the day was ruined by these kids. If precious Tom and Sally can't behave in public then get a BABYSITTER or better yet, learn these words sit down keep your hands and feet to yourself, behave, and NO. Clemson is a wonderful family environment but other families would like to enjoy it as well.
Please think of those around you. they may not have thought that water in the face or punch in the ribs was acceptable behavior. Also, don't store your extra stuff on peoples seats then get upset when you are asked to move it. I explained that this is not the norm and Andrew promised to take him to another game next year. Hopefully,those around will know how to discipline their children.

I was seven years old. I had a wonderful time, but if I ever accidently nudged, kicked, annoyed the people next to us, my dad would have simply said "look what you're doing, you're bumping all over them. You can't do that to other people, apologize." And he would have said it at the first and only time it would have happened. He was the best dad and wasn't overly strick, but we knew how to act in public.

Sometimes the "kids will be kids" excuse just doesn't cut it. It's a cop out for not seeing to it that your kids aren't a bother to others.

Having said that, I think most kids are very well behaved at these games. I have never had one bother me like was described. There was an eight year old girl sitting next to me and I was more worried about leaning up to far and blocking her view. She never said a word, but there have been other places where it has happened and you wonder what it would take for the parents to say something to them.

Kids can't behave, get a BABYSITTER

Those kids didn't need the spanking. Their guardians did.

These are the same people that complain about a few curse

some time

I see what you're saying, but I started going to games when

"too" not to. Just typing too fast***

Right it's a football game to enjoy. People didn't come to

sounds like you are one of "those parents"...

We Have Supposed Adults That Sit Behind Us

the bigger issue was probably four people trying to sit in

If the parents can't control the kids bad behavior

Problem with the world today is that kids have no discipline
