When kids dont behave they really piss me off. I understand once in a while that kids cry and that they dont understand everything in an adult world but some kids are so awful. They dont listen and they are horrible to and disrespectful. I actually hate them sometimes and then I feel bad because i know they are children so then i hate their parents b/c i blame them. I have a brother and a sister each with 2 kids who are great, when they act up now and then it doesnt bother me much at all...I have another sister with another 2 and I cant stand her or her kids. They dont listen, they dont care, they are annoying and she seems to make it all worse. I swear I get like this deep anger it makes me want to scream. Its not just her, I see brat kids at the park or their day care that just wont listen and I get so agitated. No I dont have any kids and I know people will say "when you do you will understand" but if my kids act like that I swear I feel like I would deserve to have people hate me and not want to be around me. Im not counting babies or teens. Im talking bad kids 5-12. Ugh. Maybe I'm mean...but I like kids JUST NOT BAD ONES!

I certainly do not advocate beatings, that is harmful. But a swat never turned anyone into psychopaths.
I was spanked, I'm not depressed or killing anyone. It taught me some valuable lessons. Not that a consequence meant to be hurt, instead that what I did was wrong and I shouldn't do it again.

some kids are worse than devils !
Now I do not condone or believe in any way paddiling/spanking that is such old school and does nothing to help the children learn. Time outs are one of the better methods when kids get unruly and gives them a chance to sit and think about what they did wrong and why they did it. All spaking/paddling does is put fear into a child. Let's ask a basic question do you as an adult like to be spanked or did you like it if your parents spanked you as a child? I don't think so all it does is bring fear to the child and you don't want a child to be in anyway fearful. Parents that say the child does not learn with timeouts is completly wrong. Time outs are so effective and is one of the best approaches.
Parents have to learn to take control of their children and also don't give into when they want something they get it. That is just a reenforcer that they become brats, whine, complain etc they figure they can get what they want. You have to set boundries and it's ok if the child get's upset when you say no they will learn and again if they throw the temper tantrums use a time out and explain to them why they can't get what they thought they want.
Maybe you have had an overdose of kids. Maybe when your sisters visit they are looking for a break so the kids act up. Maybe you need "time out" from them so you aren't pushed past your limits.
I hate bratty children too, but the children who are the worst usually (except for kids with an actual disability) have the worst parents.
