When they are obviously old enough to be disciplined somehow it infuriates me that the parent does nothing and allows those screaming fits to happen and doesn't even both to tak them outside for a bit.
when it's an infant upset it's annoying but i wonder if that'll be me someday, trying to comfort a crying baby and annoying the whole world around me when i'm out. i hope i take the child outside to the car or at least away from the desk person or clerks, but it's your baby and you have to do your best to comfort them. sometimes they cry and you can't always make them stop. i hope i can figure out how to manage this without people being annoyed with me, but it's a challenge to any parent to quiet and calm down a little baby.
no excuse for those that have a screaming three year old wailing and kicking them and yelling. that one i know how to stop!  |

My husband and I helped my SIL and had my niece a LOT when she was younger and she was DIFFICULT to say the least. I have had my fair share of embarrassments in public places with her.

I got some "looks" from ppl as if I could snap a finger and make her stop. I just smiled and went on.
I tend to overlook screaming babies/toddlers and feel sorry for the parents. There were times when I could not leave and other times I was able to and did. It is hard. Get ready girl, you will have your times too.
