How do I a get a stranger’s child to behave when they are brats or worse?
Monday, December 29th, 2008AnnG asked:
My family is going through some difficult times. And I’m sure we are not the only family in our church who is. And it occured to me that if I am trying to pray, then there are others who are also doing the the same because of their difficulties. There is no day care in our church. Fact is there really isn’t all that many children in our church that a day care would be a must. But there are a few children (under the age of 5) who are way over my tolerance for patience. I am a mother of 5 and a grandma of 12 children, so I do love kids. But when you have one child running up and down the isle another one fighting with it’s sibling and another one marching in the balcony area, doing a stomp routine, well I simply want to scream since the parents simply must be blind, deaf etc since they don’t do anything to correct them. The pastor has mentioned it in the past, and even talked to the certain parents privately, only they simply stop going to church. Help!
