"1.It’s not your fault.

Don't be too sure of that."

I'll start off by saying that I'm a single guy who has never (as far as I know!) fathered any children, lest anyone take me for a parent of unruly children trying to justify how I handle my little bundle of noise.

I've had the questionable pleasure of minding some exceptionally strong-willed children belonging to various family members...An iron will just runs in some families, and comes out even before the kids is old enough to channel it into something useful. I can personally attest that in some cases it is not the parents' fault.

If I happen to be in a public place and somebody has a screaming child, I just ignore it...babies scream. I can't imagine what kind of self-righteous rube would actually confront parents or attempt to tell them what to do with the kid...Seriously, MYOB. Yeah yeah, if a baby is loud in your royal presence is becomes your business, or so many people seem to think. If it bugs you that much go to a different restaurant or go home and feel sorry for yourself.

There is a time and a place for everything. Home or Chucky Cheese is the place for a screaming child, and nice restaurant is not.

People used to know these things.

Children come uncivilized. Plan to civilize your iron-willed ones, or start that bail fund now!
