The "foul ball couple" MUST be Republican. They're demanding an apology, saying "they had no idea"

68. I don't want to agree but have to agree on your assessment about brats.

There are brats and there are children that haven't learned yet and still in training. A 3 year old brat is different from a 7 or older brat because the 7 year old should know better. So the 3 year old in all likelihood is not a brat. It is just that we are upset with the behavior and label them that way.

Those parents that give in to their kids when they misbehave in public aren't helping the situation. Who is to say the kid has learned how to manipulate their parent(s). I would make sure that if a kid of mine misbehave like that they would suffer the consequence at another time. Best would be a time out immediately if possible. Maybe in that situation either take something away such as a treat or leave the game. A little drastic so probably take the kid down below to the concession area for about 10 minutes. It would require more thought.
