I Hate Noise

Allowing a child to run amok in a place of business, shows the disrespect the parent has for anyone else...

parenting today is much more hands off. "Absentee parenting". "Free range kids". This might be effective in raising chickens, and the meat will be healthier and more tasty, but I don't think these parents intend to eat their children, so how about penning them back up, teaching them some manners, and stop them from shitting in the neighbors yard for a change? O.k...I'm getting my feathers ruffled, but seriously, I agree with you. I don't think children need to be seen and not heard. I'm not sure we need to see them all the time .lol lol jk I love my kids, but I also want other people not to hate my kids, so I have done my best to raise them to respect other people and their space. There is a time and place, and if you want your kids to run like a pack of wild fowl, take them to your nearest Hardcore right wing Pro-life politician's house and let them stomp and poop all over their lawn.

This is why people think I’m an asshole, because I will and do say something. Customers and clients on the phone can hear the little... tykes, and it makes the whole company look unprofessional

That would be annoying. But it's not the kids fault. It's the parents fault. The management should enforce the rules so coworkers can work without being disturbed.

You’re too nice. Go ahead and yell at both the adult and the kid. Remind both of them that this is a workplace where some people are actually trying to get work done.

There is duct tape for a reason

Offer the child a toy if they’ll be quite and some behavioral advice and encouragement. Sounds like the parent may be lacking in these areas.

Trip him up on an electrical cord. The crying should use up a fair amount of energy and they'll shut up.

Kids like that aren't cute, and they are not being raised to be responsible adults. Do you have a taser or Mace?
