Wahhhh.
Babies cry. Sometime they cry because they are wet or hungry. Sometimes they cry because they can - and ain't a damned thing gonna stop them.
Don't want to listen? Go someplace else.
I can understand the complaint if you are in a fine dining resturant - something a little classier than Dennys, btw.
If you're in a department store - get a grip. People with children have as much right to shop as you do. Why do any one of us have more right to be in the store than the parent with the crying baby?
I have stuborn children. The oldest two learned pretty quickly that the tantrum got "The Look" and things would not be fun for a while.
The youngest was unintimidated with the look.
Throwing herself to the floor screaming did not embarass her.
Finding dad on the floor screaming louder seemed to do the trick.
Of course, she's 26 and doesn't like to shop with me ...
