Kidnapped child screams for help while bystanders do nothing.
verypaulsible
That's how you raise Vikings.. Right?
JeremyBeadlesStrongerHand
Not whilst eating salad from a bag it's not.
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
True, I can rarely resist a nice Caesar and Ziploc salad.
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
No, but listening to screaming children is great at making Vikings go beserk

I bet you're not in the US. Train's way too expensive here for that shit. Unlike a 2 hr $200 plane ride when you can generally suck it up .
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
I'm in Sweden. However I'm headed to Switzerland now.
GuestChrist
What's that, a 30 minute ride? Hang tough mate you'll be fine. (Just joking. Good luck too.)
jaakkopaakkonen
All these comments. How on earth you ignore a kid even in tantrum? Not givin in does not mean you still wouldnt try to calm him down
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
My sentiments exactly, especially in a crowded train car full of people that paid good money for a peaceful journey.

Children should be illegal on public transport
atTheRealMAD
You should be sterilized and then forced to work at a daycare for colicky children while Chuck Norris works guard duty for the kids

I recently rewatched Community. Nowadays I'm a happy & chill cunt. It comes off a LOT angrier & bitter than I realised my first time through
graehall
That doesn't make it bad, it just means I didn't realise the show's timeline, had always been, The Darkest Timeline.

1) Tiny human is being exactly like a normal tiny human. 2) Ignoring tantrums is a proper parenting strategy to teach tiny humans 1/2
newold
2/2 they don't work.

Or you could use some jumper cables. Worked on me

At least it wasn't pocket Ravioli.

True
ItsAGameOfSchlongs
Just repeatedly sigh loudly.
weirdipedia
It's all that can be done
ItsAGameOfSchlongs
I would also look annoyingly around at the other passengers, although never meeting their gaze
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
That seems to be the way they do things in Sweden
ItsAGameOfSchlongs
I'm not Swedish though
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
Well good news for you, they accept all immigrants
Robotbutts
Ah yes the Nordic disapproval sigh. My family is very good at that.
ItsAGameOfSchlongs
I just happen to be very nordic

Last time I was on a train, a hippie family ate homemade vegan stew and changed diaper on their baby in their seat, I dont know what smelled
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
Yuk... that's about all I can say to that
jaakkopaakkonen
People like this should not be allowed to reproduce
atTheRealMAD
Your parents shouldn't have been allowed to reproduce
jaakkopaakkonen
I see you are not only a terrible parent but also an asshole. Feel really sorry for your kids.
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
I agree, there's like six kids
tooomanysteves
Was the child throwing a tantrum, or legitimately upset? I have seen both. I can be hard for bystanders to tell the difference sometimes.
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
She seemed legit upset, her cries were forlorn and sad, not angry and frustrated:/
Elaan21
How do you tell the difference? Legit curious.
QuMark
Hard to say. It's often something unique you learn as a parent about your own child.
TheRealCaveman
Yes, depends on the kid. You can't reward tantrums...it's like negotiating with terrorists. It's tough in public, but gotta hold ur ground.
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
But at the expense of strangers that paid good money for a peaceful train ride?
TheRealCaveman
You were literally that child a few years ago. It's life, dude. People pay for train rides with other people. We all roll the dice of life.
doesanyoneevenreadthese
Too true. It's in the sounds they make, you learn what means what.
atTheRealMAD
Kids don't want to cry and be sad, just like you or me but don't give a child at that age what they want...I bet every imgurian here
atTheRealMAD
Has been so mad as to throw a tantrum...throwing things out of anger or punching and kicking stuff and screaming...kids are just tiny humans
kamosey
What was their spaghetti policy though?

First of all you have no kids, that much is obvious and second have you ever tried to quell a screaming toddler...not easy broh!
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
First of all I have two kids. Second of all the post is about parents who flat out just ignored their crying child, broh
chris19992
This is where you use your words and say something to the parents there and then instead of complaining about it later.
jaakkopaakkonen
If they are that bad in parenting, I definitely would not recommend that. My money is on them not taking feedback very kindly
atTheRealMAD
No...as parents my wife and I would ruin more than someone's train ride if they were to tell me to shut my child up...
atTheRealMAD
"You have reached your destination"
chris19992
See, I never said anything agressive but you just showed the type of parent you are.
Dpjb89
Have kids... Then you might understand.
jaakkopaakkonen
I think I found another salad eater
jaakkopaakkonen
Never understood this, never will. Even after having kids. You do not ignore your child ever.
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
But there's salad. In Ziploc bags. Surely that's a reason to ignore your child.
jaakkopaakkonen
Dayumm! Take my words back. All of it.
RyanAndTheQuestForWorldDomination
Wow, if you don't ignore your children's tantrums they're gonna end up entitled bitches. You don't negotiate with terrorist demands.
jaakkopaakkonen
That is bullshit. You don't ignore kids tantrum. You try to console him. What is this? Bad parenting week?
RyanAndTheQuestForWorldDomination
So if your child is screaming that they want to eat candy even though you've already told them no 5x before you're just gonna give in? What?
jaakkopaakkonen
Who the fuck said anything about giving in? They want candy? Who taught them that in the first place. Own your mistakes, stop blaming him
LamePotato
I disagree. Sometimes you need to ignore a tantrum.
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
I'm sitting right next to my son, and he wants to throw the toddler off the train
ballsohard2202
I'm calling BS, or you're an amnesiac. EVERY toddler throws a fit sometimes, your kid was no different. Get the fuck over yourself
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
Oh, my kids (both of them) had their moments in public, but instead of ignoring them I addressed the situation and took care of things.
ballsohard2202
The fuck does that mean? What'd you do, beat him? Kids cry man. Yours did too, or you're lying.
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
Simple, I sold them to gypsies
CoolAndy87
AccountCreatedToUpdogVotes
... Is there a reason you're stopping him?
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
I don't want to visit him in a Swedish prison
DancesWithHippos
Possibly a child with autism who is overstimulated. If so, the best they can do for all involved is ignore.
MaximumCatpacity
(2)teaches them that bad behavior will be acknowledged and thus rewarded.
JeremyBeadlesStrongerHand
Statistically speaking, it's much more likely it's an annoying child whose parents aren't dealing with it.
Digresskew
Or they could be starving and that kid is dead now because no one bothered to share their salad. For all the good assuming does, it doesn't.
SCOTTSTERLINGthemanthemythandthelegend
Or maybe weaning it? Idk
RustyNeX
well in that case they can at least apologize to other commuters
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
That would have at least meant they cared about the people stuck in the train with them
MaximumCatpacity
Haha. I can tell most of you don't have kids. No worries, I too said this garbage before kids. You never give into their tantrums.
newold

AbsolutelyWeird
True. and better to ignore them a few times than them getting what they want and scream EVERY time on public transport.
MaximumCatpacity
Very true. Very true. It sucks, and outsiders assume you're inept, and most be the worst parent ever! Just raising good people here.
IReviewDickPics
Only 1% of the population has autism. Why has that become the 'go to' reason for kids acting shitty these days?
Cetrian
In my day it was ADHD
LaterallyHortler
Pretty sure it's more common than it used to be. Yeah I get they're better at diagnosing but you have to admit there's more weird kids now.
Edgekrsher
Because it's the easy way to make an excuse for bad parenting in this case
ballsohard2202
It's a fucking toddler. They act out. Have you EVER been around small kids 0-2? They cry regardless of who's parenting.
Edgekrsher
Who here is blaming the baby for crying? Have you EVER fully read something before you over react to it?
ballsohard2202
Yes but apparently you don't. I'll say it again, try to keep up. It's not about parenting, they ALL do this. Should I say it again, slower?
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
Not autistic at all, the kid was perfectly fine until the parents decided to ignore her to eat salad
knuckleheaded1
...out of plastic bags.....savages....
TheHoleShebang
Sometimes kids need to learn that attention is not given for screaming. It's hard to know the context of their parent/child relationship ATM
KingPugTato
True, but its annoying af to listen to for everyone else
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
Well maybe the parents should teach that at home, not on a crowded train car full of people that paid premium money to travel in comfort
newold
They paid too. Parents and children should not live under house arrest.
Duvalier
Thank you. Raising children is a different adventure family to family. Not all kids are the same.
SadCannibalNoises
That lesson doesn't need to be learned by the entire train. If my kid didn't behave in a public place, I removed her.
DancesWithHippos
Hmm, well, if the child didn't have autism, you could take Bender's advice
ohwaitwassheagreatbigfatperson
I'm down with that. Can I beat the parents too?
Vortality
Go for it but put a condom on whatever you beat them with
SadCannibalNoises
Beat the parents first.
ThePatriarchyMadeMeDoIt
Solid advice!
