If you’re a parent, you know all too well how stressful it can be when your little ones aren’t on their best behavior in public. For one 32-year-old mom, her feisty little tots not only caused her a few extra grey hairs during a public outing but also got her banned from her dentist’s office.
Taylor Nitti is a mom to four children aged 7, 5, 4, and 3. Like many busy parents, she often brings her little tribe along to appointments. During a routine dental cleaning, it was one of those days when her kids seemed to have a little too much pent-up energy. They were doing typical sibling stuff—bickering over silly things and making quite a bit of noise.
The Post reached out to Nitti for comment, and she shared more about the experience. Despite her efforts, the kids continued their behavior even after she went back to see her dentist. The situation escalated to the point where Nitti soon realized she “could never show her face there again.”
She received a typed letter from her dentist’s office stating that her children were no longer welcome at the practice. “In not so many words, they pretty much said don’t bring your kids here with you again. I think their reasons are valid,” Nitti expressed in a video she posted on TikTok. In the video, the loud sounds of her kids playing and carrying on could be heard in the background.
“I was already down on my parenting and who I am as a mom, and then I got this letter. I literally wanted to cry,” she added. While the letter was written respectfully, it still hit a nerve with this frustrated mom.
Many viewers of her TikTok video sided with the dentist’s office. Comments included:
– “The background noise justifying the letter.”
– “Girl, you shouldn’t have to be told this. They aren’t babysitters. You should have felt guilty for the noise and disruption at the time, not when you get a nice letter.”
Nitti isn’t the only parent facing consequences for her kids’ typical behavior in public. In New Jersey, parents are outraged over a new law that could hold them “accountable for public disturbances caused by” their children. Passed in late July in Gloucester Township, this law states that parents could potentially face jail time—up to 90 days—if their children are found guilty of causing public disturbances.
As many parents can attest, managing little ones in public spaces is a challenge. And now, with rules tightening and consequences escalating, the pressure on parents continues to grow.
