I completely agree with you that the parents should have made an effort to keep the kids under control (I didn’t read the article). Like you said, if I see you try, then I can empathize. Did you read this article on BlogHer about how parenting isn’t hard? I’ll try to find it when BlogHer is loading correctly on my comp. TKS for sharing your 2 cents.

I read that post and stepped away from the computer because I wasn’t in the bagel shop but I was LIVID at the so called parents who allowed their children to behave in such a way. Oh I would have been all over mine like white on rice for such behavior and I DO have a child with bipolar among other things. He STILL knew how to behave in public. I am not too sure I would not have contacted children’s services on the parents for their apparent lack of attention to the children. Would they have noticed if someone had taken a child?? At that point one would have to wonder would other patrons have even bothered to point it out * I know bad thought but I mean really*. I applaud that man for his choice in how to react and don’t feel one damn bit sorry for the parents who got embarrassed they should have been embarrassed BEFORE he came to sit with them.

@Becky, Agreed. Totally. Instead of pockets I make my kids put one hand on the cart, my purse OR hold my hand. I’m always afraid one of my kids will have their hands in their pockets, trip and not pull their hands out in time to break the fall. See… neurotic. LOL

But, I agree. There is NEVER an excuse to let your kid run a toy truck or any toy all over a store/restaurant harassing the other patrons, if YOU wouldn’t do it, then why let your kid do it? And, if it is THAT important to for your kid to play – take him/her to a damned playground where it’s APPROPRIATE to do so.

@AmyD, I am so glad you came out of hiding! While I don’t comment over at your place (I will now!) I was there through Ethan’s ordeal.
I’m with you, my kids have been taught from a very young age how to behave in public. I have always been able to take them to McDonald’s or a high end place for dinner and never worried.
There have been occasions I have told my youngest (12) to put her hands in her pockets while we grocery shopped but that was because that child will pick up everything on the shelf to look at it. (I don’t get it either).
Please do not excuse bad behavior because ‘Boys will be boys.” or “She’s such a drama queen” parents are supposed to be parents, parent your kids.
I’m glad you left a comment, and please don’t feel bad about a rant, I encourage people to voice their opinions here no matter what it is.

I’ve been sort of stalking around your blog for the last week or so. We just recently became friends on FB and I don’t think we’ve interacted much, but I can certainly empathize with a lot of your posts here, not sure why it was this one that drove me to comment but here goes…

I have a very strict policy when it comes to the behavior of my children in public. STRICT. My kids are not perfect, but I have had numerous strangers, waiters and waitresses compliment my children on their behavior. I do NOT allow toys to go into any store or restaurant. The exception being a handheld nintendo DS or gameboy – ON MUTE for my youngest (8 years old) who might get bored if the grown ups tend to talk for a long time after dinner or something.

My children have been raised that while they are out in public they are to be considerate of EVERYONE else in the establishment because the world does not revolve around them and they need to learn to be considerate of others.

Special needs, ADHD, Asberger’s (my brother has it) – doesn’t matter. We all scream we want these kids to “feel normal” and then people leap up to make excuses. Regardless of whatever the special needs are, all children need to be taught to think OUTSIDE of themselves and be considerate of others.

Same note – I have zero respect for parents who cause a big scene disciplining their kids in public. You don’t want your kids making a disturbance, don’t teach them that it’s okay to do so just because YOU are the one doing it. All my disciplining is done in private and my kids know if they get “the look” at the restaurant then they are probably going to get more than a “look” when we get home.

I didn’t drop over to the other post because my blood pressure is up just reading this. Sorry for the rant on your blog. This kind of crap infuriates me.

@Gucci Mama, There was one mother who said “What if they were special needs kids?” and I said, even then there is a certain basic level of public behavior that is expected and hitting people with cars in not it.
I haven’t been back yet to see how pissed of they all are at me but it’s ridiculous how some people just ignore their kids because they don’t want to discipline them.
UGH.

I didn’t read it because comments like that would give me a stroke. I cannot stand parents who don’t discipline their kids. It’s infuriating. My children wouldn’t dare behave that way ever, especially in public. They know they’d be in serious shit if they did.

It’s absolutely ridiculous that people would offer excuses. There are standards of behavior. Standards that everyone, children and adults, must live up to in polite society. For parents like these idiots to pretend there aren’t is absolutely pathetic.

God! I didn’t even read it and I’m all fired up!

There is much of you to love. You are worthy of love. I sometimes think I can count on my husband for support but I can’t. Not really. I have God. And I have myself. I guess that’s all we should need. But wouldn’t it be nice just to have someone say, “I understand.” or even, “I don’t really understand but I will pick you up and if I can’t pick you up, then I will lay down beside you.”

@kristie, And here I’ve been worried I’ve said too much. I find it hard to talk about the other people in the drama, (Because there is *always* someone else along for this ride) because they don’t ask to have their lives splashed all over the internet. Also, I worry that if I tell the whole entire story, in glaring nitty gritty ugly details, it will scare people off. It has IRL. The story behind this story was this…
I had a date Friday night, and an hour and a half before I was to meet him, he cancelled via text message said he had a migraine. I didn’t hear a single word from him the rest of the night.
Originally he said that he had plans both Sat and Sun so both those nights were out, but he had Monday off. Except that my girls were coming home so that didn’t work.
Saturday morning, he texts me “I’m free tonight if that helps.” (we’ve known each other so the texting doesn’t bother me). I agreed to meet him. We were to go out to dinner for our Valentine’s date.
SO while I’m getting ready I’m watching Sex and the City (season 6, Carrie is dating the Russian) and The Russian is being uber romantic writing songs and love poems and horse drawn sleigh rides in NYC. SO I mentioned that for one night I wanted a over-the-top romantic night. Set everything aside and let’s just go all out…
He texts me “You’re freaking me out”
And bam, there’s the tip of the spiral.
Followed by “I’m not really sure I can do that.”
When he didn’t show up 20 minutes after he was supposed to show up, I texted him “Where are you?”
“Driving to take the kids out to dinner.”
I was stood up, and blown off. And he wasn’t going to tell me.
Then he tells me he’ll call me when he leaves, we can go have a drink and I can spend the night.
Whatever..
And again, he never shows. When I text him Are you coming by? he replies with “No I’m not. Because you are more than just a fuck to me.”
And that was that.. I was already in a blind rage, and that was more than I could handle. Stood up, blown off three times by the same guy, in 24 hours.
The next day, he refused to talk to me, refused to answer phone calls or text messages.
until late that afternoon when he told me I was sick, I was crazy, and I’m fucked up in the head and need help. He said “You haven’t been right in your head for 2 weeks now”.
And somehow this weekend was all my fault, because I’m crazy.

@Lucy, I’m not even sure why I write about this here. Nobody really gets it unless you’re another bipolar and so I’m writing words that leave my readers scratching their heads or shrugging their shoulders.
My life is never in danger. The bottom line is, I have two daughters and their very existence is the anchor that keeps me from going completely off the deep end. I cry for help in many different ways, but I never do anything that would endanger my life or cause someone to lock me up and take me away from my girls.

I just want you to know that I understand bipolar II and am pretty sure that’s what’s “wrong” with me. Doctors have tried to make other diagnoses fit…depression and anxiety, primarily…but those don’t really address the pure anger (at absolutely nothing apparently…I have no reason for this kind of anger) that overcomes me at times and is often focused squarely at myself. Nor do they address my ability to become absolutely obsessed with a thought or an idea or … whatever … to the point that I simply cannot find a way to get my brain to just STOP.

Anyway, I do wish that you could speak more openly here. I’ve been reading you for years and just wish we could really understand the details to these posts. Maybe that’s me being nosey, but I also feel like it’s me thinking maybe I’ve been through the exact same situation before and knowing someone else is out there dealing with something I understand might help you or me or both of us! I hope that makes sense.

I know the medication merry-go-round and I’m currently trying to “make do” with what’s been working for my depression. I wish you luck as you make changes and I know exactly how terrifying it is to change meds (at the same time you’re terrified NOT to change them!) and the self-loathing that comes because you need medication in the first place. I wish you peace and that you can love yourself, as hard as that sometimes is.

You know, I may not totally get where you are coming from but I have been reading your blog for a while and I care about you. I wish I could offer you more help but I do listen through your blog and please feel free to email me to chat.
I have found you to be brave in examining your feelings and attempting to deal with your struggles. You share your pain but I am hoping that you are not considering ending your life. It sounds like the person reached out to was of no help and just remember that there are others to turn to during your struggles.

Okay… let me try this AGAIN since the interwebz ate my first attempt.

I’ve never gotten hate mail ON my blog but when I did this post that was featured on BlogHer, I got my ass handed to me there: http://www.blogher.com/kids-who-sell-stuff%E2%80%A6-and-people-who-don%E2%80%99t-buy

What killed me about a lot of the haters was that when I went to look at their profiles, they hadn’t posted in forever. It’s like they troll around and pop out of the woodwork to leave asshat comments and then slink back into their troll-hole.

Like they say, if they’re talking about you, you’re doing something right

@Laci, You know me, event this long ass post is still a very truncated version of all I’ve been through…. I just hope that maybe this will make a difference. Maybe someone will see they are not alone, or crazy. Maybe it will open someone’s eyes to see their loved one who is suffering in a different light. Maybe it while give someone the courage to face their own demons and get help. Or maybe it will just solidify my status on the internet as that really hot fucked up blonde chick.

But if he wants to worship at the alter of a drug addicted washed up pop star, that’s his religious freedom. Just don’t persecute me because I have more common sense.

People aren’t really mourning the woman herself. We mark times and events in our lives by linking them to pop culture and trends. When Kirk Cobain killed himself it marked an end to a movement, thus it was dramatic. Whitney was a marker for the teenagers of the 80′s. When the people you grew up listening to and watching on TV start dying, it brings us face to face with our own mortality. Her death isn’t shocking, and in the grand scheme of things it won’t matter, but it just cements the fact that there are parts of our lives we’ll never get back.

you are so totally right on. I’m sorry you’re in the spiral right now. it’s a horrible place to be. I hate that for you. You’re right, we logically know what to do, but just can’t do it. “It”, the BPD, becomes too overwhelming. Right now I feel good, really good. And you know the bad thing about that? I always worry when I feel good that mania is beginning. I just want a typical, ordinary life. And know that I’m always here for you.

@Carolyn West, To be honest, I wasn’t officially diagnosed until 2007 which made me a full fledged adult, but once I was diagnosed it was easy to go back and see certain behavior as very clearly bipolar disorder. What we thought was teenage angst, and then college attitude, and then postpartum depression turned out to be bipolar disorder (and postpartum depression).

I watch both my daughters like a hawk looking for symptoms so that they can get help and treatment much sooner than I did, and their lives will be much easier than mine has been. You have my email, I will be happy to answer any questions you might have, but I would also encourage you to talk to your child’s doctor, or even take to her a psychiatrist for an evaluation.

From my own experience the best way to describe bipolar disorder behaviors is…lack of impulse control. Just reacting, sometimes, mostly over reacting. Start there… email me if you want to discuss this further. And thanks for coming by…

Thank you so much for leaving a comment on MY blog because if you didn’t, I would have read YOUR blog and I feel it’s all such a sign of some sort. I’ve been wondering a lot lately about my 9 year old daughter. She worries me. We have a history of manic/depressive and bipolar disorder in my family and I see her traveling down that same road. She’s been doing some things lately that have me freaking out a bit and while I don’t want to jump to conclusions, I know the signs. I can certainly sympathize with you because I grew up surrounded by it. Haven’t had a chance to check out your entire blog yet, but I was wondering if you had this as a child as well?
