UGH! that just really pushed my buttons because so many parents are like this these days!! ---i'm done with my rant now. thank you! Thats one thing wrong with our justice system they only serve partial time of their sentece, but lets get back to mcdonalds/blaming parents

Every time that I am at a store I see some kid that wants a certain toy or something and the parent either gets it for them, or says no at first then the kids starts to cry and the parent gets it for them. Theres a good message for the kids. My other favorite is when the parent says "I am leaveing" and starts to walk away leaveing the kid, or when they start to count to 5 or 10 and only get halfway there and stop. This all sounds like the people that sued McDs for them getting fat. I still want to know who held a gun to there heads and made them go there to eat. I'll admit it, I am fat, but it is not the fault of anyone else but myself. I have no intentions of suing any one for it. I am sure that what toy is in the Happy Meal is the least of the problem, but just because they have it parents will have to buy it and blame the restuarant for there fat lazy kids. I ever have kids I WILL NOT let them turn out like me. (So I say now)

Some of them shouldn't be parents if they don't know how to raise kids. They need to stop blaming others for their own actions. Start spending time with the kids.

Kids are the ones that should submit to adults, not the other way around! It just really pisses me off. My kids aren't going to be raised that way. I dread what this world is going to be like when these kids become adults...these kids who don't have to take responsibility for anything, who get whatever they want, and have no regard for others.

TimCurryChick85 8 years 4 months ago Posts: 486	This is so sad that there won't be any more toys in Happy Meals. But in my mind the reasons behind it is ridiculous. Toys don't make kids fat, the food does. I think it's ridiculous that they think the toys are making kids fat. It makes me sick. Here's an idea. You can put the happy meal toys for like 1.99 here as long as you buy one item menu here. It might be expensive, but get your kid a small salad and buy the toy and they'll be happy and eating healthier.

tonewinwy 8 years 4 months ago Posts: 989	It would be wrong for McDonalds to do away with toys in their kids meals. I agree too much fast food does make children fat. That's why the parent/or care giver needs to make the kids get up from the tv,computer,and video games. Make them go outside/or indoor play area run around,ride bikes,swim, or any other kind of physical activity. That away if they do have fast food before doing physical activity they'll burn off most if not all the calories they've taken in. Instead of taken them home a letting them watch tv,play video games for the rest of the day. I've taken my little cousins to fast food places all their lives they're 6 1/2 and 8 now. I've always had them outside/or indoor play area to do physical activity. They are no means over weight what so ever.
	It's OK, next time I'll make you listen. I wish that it were in the power of all children to say that to their parents and to know that indeed they would be heard as we were in those wonderful days on Waltons Mountain.Narrator The Waltons (From the Runawa

System 8 years 4 months ago Posts: 74809	I hope they don't. When I have kids of my own I want to take them to McDonald's, buy them a Happy Meal, and watch how happy they get when they find a toy with their meal. My parents did that for me; I want to for my kids too. It would be stupid for them to "pull" the toy.
