Everytime I heard this as a child it just never made sense to me.

Without wishing to sound like a Daily Mail reader, I blame the parents.  It's very rare that you see a parent publicly tell their kid to stop doing something, no matter how annoying they are being.

Why should they be seen and not heard?

Maybe in certain circumstances - but for the most part, why shut them up if they want to talk? They're kids ffs.

My children are well disciplined, live in a happy household and are a joy to be around, mostly.

Don't measure everyone by the 'cannae be arsed' school of parenting you have witnessed today. Some of us are doing a great job raising well behaved, responsible and delightful children.

I'd rather not see them either tbh. "Children should be quiet and stay out of sight." Yes, I like that much better.

[fabienleclerq]

Hated that saying as a kid, the amount of sh*te adults talk and i've to be quiet!

How do you know?  You are on JKB and Hibs.net most of the day  

[i8hibsh]

A great exampl was a night in my gym last week (Virgin Active). Had just finished a hard slog at work surrounded by people I hate all day so I went for a workout.

Had a hard slog in the gym too so went through for a jacuzzi and steam.It must've been 7pm and there were 5 or so kids in there screaming at the top of their voice without pausing for breath.

Now the accoustics in a pool meant that the screams were like drills penetrating your skull.

It did not cross their parents minds that it was not a public baths and everyone around them pays a lot of money to relax in there.

I've said it before, I'm sure there is a physiological, hormonal or whatever reaction in a person when they have children - they just can't see how annoying they are being.  It's probably a survival of the species type thing.

Kids in having fun at swimming pool shocker!  You're right, it's not a public baths - which means the parents also pay for their kids to use the pool.

Don't get me wrong, kids need to learn manners and good vs bad behavior but they also should be allowed to be kids.  I take my boys to many places and sometimes they do something 'wrong' and they are spoken to but i want them to have fun and laugh and play - not sit in a corner being quiet because it might piss someone off if they're making noise.  We take our boys out to dinner every week so they are used to it, and receive compliments on how well behaved they are - but they're not quiet.

Very rare? Nonsense.

As for 'seen and not heard', what a load of p1sh. Great for raising North Koreans, but not much else.

So this is a problem with the parents and not the children for not being sociably responsible.

My kids are well behaved and disciplined but even the best meaning parents in the world will have to deal with the occasional meltdown in public from their offspring. We were all kids once, so allowances need to be made for the next generation.


Generally, I take my kids out to places where they can be themselves and be with other kids; swimming classes, friends houses/gardens, play parks, sports, the beach and lots of other out-doors stuff.


I would avoid places where people without kids, or don't like them tend to be; especially if they're really bitter old folk.

I dont doubt there's very good parents out there and some well behaved kids but the way you hear some kids talk to adults these days and some of the stuff that comes out there mouth is unreal.

Have some respect ffs, I'd have got a leathering for some of the stuff I've heard. Bairns on the bus hame,some of them could honestly do with a slap.

No.

They done a great job. I consider myself a very reasonable individual who knows right from wrong and had a great upbringing.

Times have changed,what was once acceptable may not be now. I was never battered or anything like that.

I wouldnt see the problem in kids gettin 'a smack' within reason. For me we live in a bit of a molly coddle society these days.

Overall with kids, I blame the parents,especially yours.

In my experience, smacking your child shows a lack of basic parentic skills.

Don't get me wrong, I've done it on occasion. But there are many other ways to discipline your kids without physically assaulting them.

With our third kid we have started to use other methods. I wish we had used these mehods with our first and second rather than smacking (or hand tapping).

Physical assault is not good corrective discipline.
