How do you deal with other people's kids?
I ask this because I took my son to Chuck E Cheese yesterday and we were playing games. I was letting him play skee ball and then this other little kid (around his age, maybe a little younger) comes up and takes his skee balls and starts climbing on the machine.
I go over there, and am wondering where his mom is. I just ignore him and tell Gage to just continue playing. The kid is obviously bothering him and honestly, was kinda bothering me too. I didn't know what to do though. I'm not going to tell the kid to get off...not my responsibility...right?
Finally, the mom comes over and apologizes and pulls the kid away.
Soo...we go play another game. One of those water blaster games and here comes this kid again and starts putting his hand in front of my son's water gun. I'm just like WTF?! The mom is sitting right there this time and I know she sees it but does nothing about it.
I'm not one for confrontation, but sometimes I feel like some parents need a better hold on their kids. If that makes sense.
Even the other day I was at the post office trying to mail some presents and this kid comes up and starts poking the gifts I have sitting on the counter while his dad waited in line. I just ignore it, hoping that his dad will step in and say something.
Any other mom's have problems like this??
What do you do?
Do you talk to the kid?
Talk to their mom/dad?
Or just ignore it and hope they go away..lol
They're just kids, so I just don't feel like I have any right to tell them "NO!", but sometimes...ughhhh...when it starts to interfere with my son, then I really just start getting pissed off...I feel like I SHOULD say something...any advice?
