Gurl, I will cut you!
I’ve always been aware that I have no patience with parents who allow their kids to run wild, however, I understand that kids are kids and they are just being kids, but there’s a limit and for me the limit is my personal space. Recently at the park (yeah again lol) I was minding my own business (headphones and music on) and from the distance I saw a kid with a water gun spraying everybody, kids, adults and dogs, they were coming towards me, so I decided to move to avoid any kind of trouble cuz I was not going to be a happy guy if the kid sprayed me or Doggy. However, fate had decided that I should deal with them, kid sprayed and Doggy and also other dogs at the park, my blood reached boiling point, company policy keeps me from rising my voice, so I calmly asked the mother to keep his kid on a leash, that I was going to dry off but if he sprayed a dog that didn’t like water and the bit him it would only mean problems thanks to her negligence. Boy!!! Women went crazy, she used all the words on her limited dictionary to curse, she lost it, I kept my cool and told her that it was clear why her kid was a wild beast, apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, she went ballistic. Another woman who was at the park with her dog heard the fuss, luckily she was on my side but was on the same level than the mother, they went at each other, I walked away and observed from the distance. I must confess that I wanted to slap her and her kid, but she’s not worth the effort.
They kept arguing and threatening to kick each other ass if only they were alone and somewhere else (always the same excuse lol). I feel sorry for the kid, he’ll grow up to be a bully and will have his teeth knocked down a couple of times.
Just to show that not always is the dog or kid to blame, but the owner.
Reminded me of this video: Gurl, I will cut him!
That video was hillarious
I don’t have the patience you have, I would of whipped his water gun from him, slapped ( can I say that ) him round the head. And then ran for my dear life. LOL 
Mollie x
Sounds like your park is a “very special place” for you. I think, it’s better you take Doggy and go away ( if you can’t land the totally verbal knock-out as the first). Disputes with people like this will mess up your day and waste your time and energy…. or you use Mollie’s suggestion – if you are Usain Bolt…
Mollie’s got the right idea! Kids who are out of control – with the apparent blessing of the parent standing there watching the bad behavior – get the big thumbs down!
Pam (and Sam who says he would have sliced him with his extra claw!!)
It only takes one to spoil things for a lot of people – sad!
Love how defensive parents are, especially when they let their kids run riot!
They learn it somewhere!
Wow! Just Wow! I find it hard to understand how the mother would let the child do this.
I hate water and if something like that happened to me or The Princess we would be confused and upset, especially as we are friendly Tibbie’s who expect good behaviour from the little people at the park.
Beloved has assured me that if anything like that happens at our dog park we are not returning.
What do you live so far away? Your park sounds like a source of endless entertainment.
But seriously, what was that mother thinking? You tried to warn her….
The problem is they don’t think, lack common sense and that you cannot teach. I love the park, I like to see how people behaves, the important thing is to don’t take those things personal cuz it can ruin your day.
Isn’t it funny, the people with the worst kids screech the loudest.
Where I work I am surrounded by windows. My office shares an entrance with a Dr’s office and I constantly had children walking by the window and rapping on it. About 2 weeks ago this young girl rapped on the window and ducked. I watched and gave her the death glare. She did it again! I got ticked so I got up and went out into the hall and the man who was with her said, “Oh you’re in trouble now, say you’re sorry.” To which she responded, “Sorry.” I said, “It’s not funny.” And the man said, “Oh cut her a break, she’s only four.” I said, “Really? This is a place of business.”
What I wanted to say was cut her a break for this and what does she do at 10, 13, 18? WTF teach your kid some respect.
That’s all, climbing down off my soap box now.
