...kids that squeal at the top of their voices for absolutely no reason than wanting attention!

And also their parents for not making them shut the hell up!

Im not talking babies or even toddlers, but young children just bloody squealing! Argh!!!!!! ConfusedConfused

YAbu.
The squealing of children is a ridiculous thing to get in such a stew about.

It's distracting. It's not a nice noise IMHO. It's annoying.
But I certainly don't expect parents to be able to get them to "shut the hell up" what an unpleasant expression.
And I can't see that it's at all a reasonable or measured response to take a family of DCs outside in the middle of doing a large supermarket shop or similar event because of screaming.

If I were at a spa or similar place expected to be tranquil and quiet I'd not expect to hear it, but otherwise it's just the noise of not living on a desert island.
It doesn't even go on for that long. Either they stop squealing naturally or I've left the area in a short period of time.

You can't tell these children from those with invisible disabilities is the point people make..even if Op didnt mean that.

So its good you have thought about that and its what people want.

Yes people shouldn't be rude. But people should plase address them..blanket remarks like posters with kids with SN lie in wait to derail makes most of posters with children with SN feel unwelcome.

Even me a bit..but I am a tough persistent old trout.

TheRealAmandaClarke · 30/03/2014 08:39

Brats is a vile term for children.
It's unnecessarily unpleasant and aggressive.

PoppySeed2014 · 30/03/2014 08:47

Argh, fanjo you get very aggressive and as a result I find it really hard to respect what you say.

Yes, it's a valid point to say "people should remember that some children screaming might have sn" But as others have said, some posters were very rude and aggressive to the op (and others). And the point of this thread (I think) is about children who are screaming for no reason other than lax parenting. So that's something we can ALL have an opinion on but is not specifically talking about children with sn.

YoniMatopoeia · 30/03/2014 08:47

As a parent of 3 NT children, I would just like to say thatI I always value the input of parents with DC who have SN. I have learnt so much here, from those posters, and can understand why sometimes exasperation is expressed. I would hate for anyone to feel sidelined, or that they shouldn't post.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 30/03/2014 08:47

I am not being aggressive. And havent been on this thread.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 30/03/2014 08:49

Im especially NOT being aggressive when trying to support people.

Or is it the generic "you" as in "you SN parents".

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 30/03/2014 08:50

Am pretty passionate. But I am quite offended to be thought of as aggressive.

PoppySeed2014 · 30/03/2014 08:50

^^ example if aggressive tone right there!

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 30/03/2014 08:50

:(

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 30/03/2014 08:51

But that is not aggressive tone.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 30/03/2014 08:52

Am lying in bed feeling non aggressive.

But worried for people and quite hurt by your post.

Bowlersarm · 30/03/2014 08:56

I don't think ''brat' is an aggressive word at all. Little bastard, dickhead, , knob, hooligan, chav, maybe.

Brat, no. Or no more than 'little madam' or 'rascal' or 'princessy' or little Einstein' or ''goody two shoes'. It is just descriptive. A bit more interesting and in context, then simply saying 'boy' or 'girl'.

PoppySeed2014 · 30/03/2014 08:57

Sorry to upset you. Maybe read back wetaugust's posts are see why she comes across so well.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 30/03/2014 08:57

Sorry but please. .dont be so patronising.

Thanks. Not aggressive..annoyed.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 30/03/2014 09:01

And..I see you are a name changer. Will henceforth ignore.

PoppySeed2014 · 30/03/2014 09:04

Ok, happy for you to ignore me. Not sure why you avoid name changers generally though?! Not uncommon to nc here sometimes? Is it? (Genuinely puzzled)

VoyageDeVerity · 30/03/2014 09:04
Confused
FutTheShuckUp · 30/03/2014 09:05

Fanjo with respect you are not coming across well on this thread at all. Maybe step away?

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 30/03/2014 09:06

I just ignore the ones who insult hurt and patronise me from out of blue.

Self protection innit.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 30/03/2014 09:07

More patronising.

I was going to step away anyway.

I said what I said in case any parents of children with sN felt hurt.

And have said it.

Now people will turn on me..dont bother. Am off anyway.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 30/03/2014 09:09

Ps..fut..if you really respected me you would have PMed that instead of adding to my humiliation.

LingDiLong · 30/03/2014 09:12

I am aghast. Not only do I totally agree with Fanjo but I have read and reread her posts and can't see any aggression in them whatsoever. She comes across as calm amd very clear. What exactly is aggressive about her tone? I actually wonder if the posters accusing her of aggression know what the word means. Genuinely.

gordyslovesheep · 30/03/2014 09:13

I respect what you say Fanjo an I don't see any aggression x

FutTheShuckUp · 30/03/2014 09:15

I didn't mean to humiliate you I promise. I know what it's like when it's something you feel strongly about with good reason you can get a bit over invested and things don't come across the way they were intended!!
