Thinking About … McDonalds

  • Saltinewarrior3000

    “Harder to say ‘no’”???? Gee-zus…did she have her spine surgically removed? My eight-year-old knows that an argument with me after “no” will only net him a punishment. Suggested law: any parent that blames anyone else for their shitty (or total lack of) parenting skills automatically has their kids removed by the Department of Social Services.

    McDonald’s job… try to get you to by their sh!t.nnParent’s job.. raise kids. Be responsible for your own choices. If you give in to the kid its your own friggin’ fault. Is McDonal’s responsible for teaching your kid how to wipe their own a$$ too? This is just more of the ” its not my fault ” thinking that pervades our culture these days. Nobody wants to own up to their own failings so lets find someone or something to blame it on.

    We have turned into a country of whiny, passive people hoping to win the legal lottery.

    The State needs to remove her kids from her custody if she can’t handle being a parent and then the judge should award damages to McDonald’s including court costs and attorney’s fees to punish this idiot further.

    As much as we’d evidently like to see this woman fined a gazillion dollars, have her kids taken away and/or tied to a bed of fire ants, you really have to look at the court system. When, why and how did the courts get as bad at saying “no” to frivolous lawsuits as some parents are at saying “no” to their kids’ whining for a happy meal?nnThis will all stop once judges look the plaintiff in the eye and say, “Get out of my court. And pay the $500 admin fee on the way out.” When there is no money in these silly suits, lawyers will stop taking the cases.

  • Slimpedal

    This is the perfect example of a frivilous law suit.nnAn adult lacking the backbone to stand up to their spoilt child goes a long way towards explaining many of the problems with modern society.

  • Darkeklaw

    Really? REALLY? It’s very easy to tell your kid no…nnStep 1: Look at kidnStep 2: SAY NO.nStep 3: Repeat Step 2 until you make it home.nnCause that’s how my mom did it.

  • crazy

    If saying ” No” doesn’t work, try saying HELL NO!nMy kids understood No means just that NO. Going to McD’s was a treat they got a couple times a year, not every freakin day.nIf whinny kids like that are the future of this country we are seriously fucked.nWhen are the courts going to wise up and quit letting people waste their time on such stupid shit.

    We are on a tight budget but go to McDonald’s if we have coupons our kids love the McNuggets and apple slices. If we have a coupon for a happy meal we get it, if we don’t the kids run to the display ask for it, we say not today -they say “okay can we go play” –that is because our children know they just don’t get something because they want it! Our children our 5, 4, and 2 (the month old doesn’t count here) they don’t even remember the happy meal until we get there and they see the display. Monet should put her effort into parenting more and realize it is because of parents like her that we have now produced an instant gratification generation of –I want it so I will have it even though I can’t afford it so I will buy everything I want oh and then I will just declare bankruptcy and let everyone else be responsible for my bills.
