A few weeks ago I told you all about a crazy McDonald mom. If you missed that story, you can read it here. Well wouldn’t you know, we’re at McDonald’s again and that same woman is here and she is going even crazier about people playing in this play area and HER SON IS NOT TECHNICALLY OLD ENOUGH. Can we say “sense of entitlement”? Sheesh.
What makes it worse is she has another mom going to bat for her. The kids here are all playing nicely together. Sure they are playing Power Rangers which, with active little boys, you get some arms swinging and legs kicking, but they are not kicking or hitting each other. Sure there is the potential to get hurt, but until they get totally out of control (which they are not even close at all) leave them be. It has done nothing but rain (read DOWN POUR) here for the past few days. The ground is soaked…let the kids get out some energy and play rather than stop everything they do.
I hate people like that. I mean yes I have seen play fighting get out of control, but I think we, as parents, can watch our kids and when we see it start to escalate THEN let’s stop it. But until then, let them get that energy out. They are playing nicely with each other for Pete’s sake.
As for the mom who’s kid is too young…Jungle Java has a nice play area for your kids age group. Go there and stop bringing him to McDonalds where he is going to get hurt because he is too young to play.
You will always encounter someone like this no matter what your child.
I can remember ecountering a woman like this at the outdoor park when my kids where about 4 and 6 she looked at me and told me take my welfare kids home….I grabbeamd her by her ponytail and threw her to the ground..no kidding..and it was the word welfare that got me enraged because she was sterotyping…..I wasn’t on welfare and was probably making 3x the she and her husband where making as a nurse in he legal field……so I opened my purse and threw my card at her….took my kids and never returned to that park I might add…….however; that was the wrong thing to do in front of kids and trust me my daughter who was about 6 or maybe 7 at the time still tells the story….my recommendation find another play spot…..!!!!
I saw these updates on facebook earlier! Some people need to stay home!
Sounds like someone should step up and tell her point blank that her son shouldn’t be in there in the first place.
That mother should be saying NO to the little brat.
I agree that it does get very loud in those play areas. That’s one of the reasons I don’t take my kids there very often (ever)! lol My youngest is very sensitive to loud noises that aren’t her own. lol
My other reason for not taking my kids there is that it (to me) seems like a germ infested petri dish! YUCK! lol
But really, that mom should take her kid somewhere else. Obviously he is not enjoying himself there and needs to have a play area more suited for children his age. Sounds like the mother just wants an excuse to get some frys! lol
