| OK...I need feedback from sane people! I just got home from singing in a Christmas Concert. There was an idiot with a baby there that cried continually through our music! Did she take him out? NO! So, as my nerves have been shot lately anyway, I politetly told her that next time she has him at a concert and he cries, maybe she should think of taking him out so as not to disturb the other 250 people there that wanted to hear the music we'd worked on for three months. Really, I was very nice about it. So then, her father, who is in the choir with me, proceeds to yell at me in front of a bunch of people! He said " My daughter got your point and I hope you have a Merry Christmas!" I told him thank you that I intended to and he yelled it again! So I replied, "I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas too!" Then I left. Was what I said so bad?

Donating YT 14K Club Member | No, you didn't say anything bad or ugly. They were being rude to not take other people into consideration and disrupted the whole program. Shame on them. Let what he said roll like water off of a duck's back. His daughter caused embarassment for him and in return, he wanted to embarass someone else.

| You did nothing wrong. More people need to speak up when someone does something so rude. It drives me crazy when people do that! I go to the movies all of the time and people are at 9 pm movies with little kids who proceed to cry. I'm not very nice about it, I just yell to get that kid out of here so the rest of us can hear! I feel bad for the people who worked hard to prepare that concert and then have it ruined by somone too cheap to pay a babysitter. (And too ignorant to leave the room when their kid is crying). Good for you for saying what everyone else was thinking.

| This lady was rude and inconsiderate of many. You by all means did nothing wrong and handled the situation in a proper manner. Not many could handle this as well as you did today. Hope you still found a moment to enjoy the beautiful carols you sang and not let the crying baby or your frustration ruin a very special day for you.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | It should be common sense to take a crying baby out of a concert or anywhere it is disturbing others! You were right to talk to her.

| so many people with children think their rights surpass others.....i am always amazed at the rudness of some parents when it comes to their children whether it be a screaming infant or a child showing their ass in public they alway will blame you for saying something instead of perhaps looking at their bad parenting skills.

| I was kneeling down in a grocery store one time and this kid about 5 years old came racing around the corner with a grocery cart and knocked me off my feet. As I was getting up, I said to the little boy 'you need to slow down and watch where you're going'. I didn't raise my voice but just said it firmly. Well his mother started yelling at me in the middle of the store about not having the rights to correct her child. I told her that had I been hurt when I fell I would have no choice but to sue her for medical expenses. She had the nerve to tell me that it was the store's problem, not hers!! Sheeesh!! That kid didn't stand a chance with a mother like that!!! I guess what I'm saying, Elizabeth, I probably would have done the same thing you did.

| WOW... As the Mom of 7 kids I wanted to say....NO you were not wrong to say something!!!!! Granted I wasn't there and not sure how it all went down but If it was at all possible for her to take the baby somewhere else she should have. Was this in a church or somewhere she could have taken the baby elsewhere????? I have had to get up and go many times with my children ... even from church. When I couldn't leave I have at least tried to take them to another section where they wouldn't be so disturbing. And I also wanted to say ..yes my kids have done a rude thing or two in places like grocery stores before ... and I also know I marched them back to the person and made them apologize and also apologized myself . I would never blame someone else for my children's rude behavior.....LOL... of course one time when my 2 son's were 4 and 5 they had a audible conversation with eachother about a certain gray haired lady blocking out way. One had said something like excuse me and when she didn't move my 4 year old told my 3 year old(in a loud whisper)... she can't hear you she is old I almost DIED because EVERBODY heard that and I didn't know how to politely get out of that one so I just took their hands and walked away hoping the lady didn't look at me

| Well I consider myself sane, at least for the moment , and I hope you don't let the whole thing bother you. You just said, in a matter of fact way, what everyone else wanted to say but didn't have the nerve!!! The daughter was being very inconsiderate and the father down right rude! I'm sure if you weren't at church you would have been applauded I'm just assuming you were at church. I was Christmas shopping today and came within a centimeter of being run down by a child running as fast as he could through the clothing isle with a shopping cart...

| Too bad that after 30 seconds of crying, someone didn't tell her to leave, either an usher or someone in the audience. Or the person who was directing, could have stopped at the end of the song, paused, and said something like, "we will wait until the crying has ended" until the noise left the room.

| Abosultely not were you wrong, That's what we have a baby cry room for. Some people just dont' get it. Actually I think you were very nice in wishing them a Merry Chirstmas. Mine would have been x- rated.

| I would have done the same thing! I just can't figure some people out. We took Cherish to the movies a few months ago and she started to have a fit because I took away her candy to clean her. I grabbed her and rushed out of there real quick,,,,, had a little talk in the rest room and that was that. Didn't have a problem with her after that. I don't blame you one bit for saying something. That was just plain rude!

I speak up too...It's not my problem if people don't know how to handle their kids and I am not going to be incovenienced because of it. I have had kids literally crawling over the partitions in restaurants and the parent's just smiling at me like they are proud. I also one time had a kid throw a straw over they were chewing on that landed on my plate and needless to say those parent's really got an ear full. I am not some old bag by any means but give me a break teach your kids manners. Don't think another thought about if what you said was within your right or not because I am sure many people are thanking you for saying something. There needs to be more people that are less tolerant in my opinion...
