ktgrok Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Today we had a group tour set up at the local art museum. It was for our homeschool group, that I started, that is grades 6-9. The main focus was to be on John Rocco's work, the illustrator for the Percy Jackson books. My son read every one of those books and said he wanted to go. We get there and all the girls are paying attention, sitting on the floor as they were asked to do (there were also bean bags for those that wanted them), listening. My son, and the other 2 boys there, were standing up across the room, chatting amongst themselves. I told them that was rude, to please stop. They did it again, and again and again, each time me telling them to please pay attention, or at least look at the art silently, but please don't chat. This did not work. I was getting upset, and also dealing with my 2 year old. Oh, and today is my due date, my husband's birthday, and just full with stuff to get done. I'm here for him to see this guys artwork and learn something. But he is "bored". One of the other moms says "oh, I told the boys it would be ok to just wander the museum since they are bored." I looked at my son and said he needed to stay in this room, and he was welcome to look at the art in here, and there was no need to wander to other rooms at this time. He started to argue, and so did the mom, because the boys were "bored.". I stopped arguing (as again, I think conversing while the tour guide is speaking is rude), and just said, then we are leaving. And we did. I took my now sullen teen and my two year old and my swollen feet and left. We went to the grocery store and got stuff i needed and now are home. To me, if you go as a group, have a tour guide, etc you stay with the group. If you are "bored' well, sorry. It isn't all day, please at least look respectful and keep your mouth shut while you daydream. It won't kill you. Besides, the gallery we were in was the whole reason we came to tsee that one artist. Was I wrong? Were they being rude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegoat Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I think you were right in that situation - your son said he wanted to go. By that age kids are old enough to sit through something that is not as interesting as they thought it would be in order to be polite. If he had been there mostly because a sibling was there or it was something you wanted to do, it might be ok to let him look at other things. But absolutely no chatting during a lecture. Or getting up in the middle and wandering away looking bored. Do you think he felt a bit self-conscious about being the only boy who was actually listening to the lecture?

linders Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 You were right to be upset, and yes he (and the other boys) was rude.

ktgrok Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 thanks everyone! It seemed obvious to me how to behave, but I'm expecting flack from the other moms. I just think this is how homeschoolers get a bad reputation. I do think he was trying to be "cool" by hanging with the other boys. Tough. It isn't cool to be rude, and as I told him, he is not to special to sit through a discussion on how illustrators make a book, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Nope, not wrong. It is also not rude to leave during the presentation if your child was interrupting said presentation. It doesn't matter if the child is 2 or 16 - if they are misbehaving and causing the people who are actually trying to listen to be distracted, then they need to be removed.

It's rude to expect that you will be "entertained" by everything you go to do. It's rude to argue with your mother in public, especially when she is 40 wks pregnant. It is rude to leave, but it is less rude than staying and continuing to disrupte the entire presentation, so you did the right thing, imo. This is part of the "world does not revolve around you" training for our children. I don't make rules for other parents, but I expect to be able to listen to a presenter, not others, when I attend something. It's called manners, seriously not that difficult. I remember in elementary school we had someone come in and the students were awful. I was embarrassed, the teachers kept sushing the students. The presentation was interesting and I was trying to pay attention. Finally the presenter stopped and said he wouldn't continue until people started paying attention. He was beyond annoyed.

mchel210 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 No...that is not wrong of you to leave. I also appreciate when a parent realizes their child is interrupting the presentation and addresses it with their child. It takes a lot to actually get up and just leave the event...but it sometimes works better in the long run on enforcing that you are serious when you give a warning. Thank you from another mom that would have done exactly the same thing. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marple Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 You were fine. This is why I quit going to most of our homeschool field trips. It was so embarrassing to me to be part of a group where the kids were so poorly trained and the moms expected so little of their students. And, I discovered that my boys behavior declined when they were around the "bored" sort. So we just opted out and did our own thing or did field trips with a handpicked group of well behaved kids and moms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot stand it when kids misbehave during presentations. I am "that mom" in the corner giving her kids the stink-eye during presentations if they even move too much.

Who tells a 9 month old pregnant woman how to parent her child? Hello - ask her what the heck you can do to help her. ITA with you. The other mom was WAY out of line. And she probably shouldn't come on tours and just hit the museum on her own if they aren't up for it. Obnoxious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
