You need to stop spoiling your kids. No should mean no. Or, shoot the Ice cream man right in the speaker with the horrible music that endlessly plays. Can you even imagine what is in that chemical crap they call soft ice cream. Do you wonder why our children are always on a sugar high. I told my kid no. That was it. Ok he threw himself on the floor and screamed for a few minutes than go up and started beating me so I waked him on the behind and was later arrested for child abuse. All this over the ice cream man. I get it.

Nanny State

These are the Yuppies who can’t say ‘no to their kids’. I don’t hear them making noise about all the bars and outdoor cafe’s on 7th ave. and that are poppping up on 5th and 6th ave’s. If your not one of them, then everything is a no-no. Anything and everything is not good enough for them, not even the parks. I think they should get their nose’s out of the air and stoping hanging out in the parks. Or go see a ENT man. Forget a Physc.

Stupid issue.
Parents need to control their kids diet. Not he city, not the state.
If your kid is fat, that’s YOUR fault, not the Ice Cream truck….if your kid has a tantrum in Public, I would hate to see what he does in your home..!

Melanie Safka aka Melanie ignored a court injunction and staged a concert using Mr. Softee trucks for generators…‏ See story on Wikapedia

Free Mr. Softee!!!!!!

Man, you can’t make this stuff up. I must refer to Louis CK and his advice on how to talk to your kids. Parents need to shut up and parent: Quit Whining. Do your job. Try unplugging your kid from whatever electrical device they’re jacked into and spending some time with them. Pick a hobby together, do something! Raise your legacy.
Dip your finger in a glass of water and pull it out. See the hole it left in the water? That’s how much of a difference most people make in the world when they die. Don’t be one of the most.

When a child throws a fit, you spank them and send them to their room. Whatever they wanted is denied them for a month. Soon, they will catch on that their very existence is at their parent’s pleasure.

It never ceases to amaze me how these spoiled yuppie brats (that would be parents) think the whole world should dance attendance on them and their little overdressed demon seed. Why should my child be punished because you can’t control yours? Your kid’s having the fit, not mine.

How about we ban New York. Keep the ice cream.

I’d say the parents of the lactose intolerant child need to grow a set. Explain to their spawn why she can’t have ice cream. Crap, what is wrong with parents.

Why do I even bother reading comments. 99% of you are completely hopeless, not a single working brain cell in those narrow minds. This is what our country is made up of? YOU people? No wonder we’re a joke in the eyes of the world. Right wing scum, activist liberal idiots who can’t decide what they want to be against.. all the same. Just stupid. Kill yourselves, please. Do the country a favor.

I.hate.you.all

Park Slope has a long history of containing some of the most self-centered, self-entitled, fractious, and obnoxious residents in the 5 boroughs of NY. Whether or not they vote Democrat in elections, the stances many of them take on neighborhood “issues” have nothing to do with “liberal politics” and everything to do with their own sense of self-importance and their own grandiose opinions of themselves and their kids , and their own desire to have everything their own way regardless of what the rest of the community might want or need (the Park Slope opposition to having bike lanes, normally considered a liberal, “green issue,” is another example of this attitude). If their kids aren’t behaving well, its always somebody else’s fault (like the ice cream man’s)–never a reflection on them. They don’t accept responsibility for their children’s tantrums or difficult behaviors and thus try to do something constructive about it like setting boundaries; instead they expect everyone else to put up with it–or to change–to accommodate THEM. Their children learn to become as spoiled and self-centered as their parents, with the same lack of boundaries and concern for others’ needs.

These parents don’t care about taking the ice cream away from other people’s kids nor do they care about putting people out of a job. Not very “liberal “of them. But obviously, avoiding a lactose-intolerant child’s tantrums is MUCH more important that an ice cream seller’s opportunity to make a living to support himself and his family.

Park Slope is lovely on the outside and I like visiting it from time to time but I truly couldn’t bear to live amongst these people.

THIS IS ABOUT THE MEXICANS WITH THEIR CATRS SELLING ICE CREAM TO THESE WHITE KIDS. THIS IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, TO RID THE MEXICANS AND BRING IN ALMIGHTY WHITEY TO SELL ICE CREAM.
SECONDLY IF PARENTS ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR KIDS EATING ICE CREAM, THE SOLUTION IS EASY…SAY FRIGGIN NO!!!!! THESE PARENT ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO LET THEIR KIDS RUN A MUCK IN PROSPECT PAEF WITH NO GUIDANCE AND THEIR DOGS RUN LIKE MANIACS URINATING ALL OVEER THE PARK KILLING THE GRASS! THESE ARE THE SAME PARENTS WHO ARE FLAT OUT LAZY!!! WATCH YOUR DAG KIDS!!! STOP RELYING ON NANNNIES!
