I dunno - when I take my kids to a restaurant, they shut the fuck up (well, they are forced to maintain a quiet conversational voice & not terrorize the place)

As to the screaming baby - well, honestly, it just happens sometimes. The most well behaved baby, wether slighltly ill, teething, etc can become a monster. I've had a few crying babies around me in restaurants and I usually smile at the parents, tell em I understand - cause I find oftentimes when mom & dad relax & stop worrying about the screamer, they're actually more successful at stopping said screamer.

Now movie theatres.....grrrrr......I had 2 good babies who would sleep through a movie and never bother anyone, and we took them all the time.....my son....damn....no movies for him, he can't shut up. But at least I have the courtesy to recognize he's a movie screamer & leave him at home.

My 1 request - baby in a theatre - dont scowl at us & act like assholes until the baby is a problem. Then you're within your right to bitch, but until then....shut the fuck up. I've had people (with my first 2 kids) bitch me out when I brought my babies into the theatre, only to eat mud & apologize for being pricks after the movie ended without a peep from my kids.

Oh, and speaking of movie theatres, for the love of god fucking teach your kids to shut the fuck up during the movie, or dont be suprised if I get the manager to kick your fucking sorry asses out. Thankyouverymuch.
