THAT Megan Fox? Not Guilty.
My now grown kids were perfect kids, just perfect, no problems at all.
Yeah, that's the ticket.
He’s probably screaming because he doesn’t like the freakin’ zucchini!
2. Be prepared to leave a restaurant as soon as your child starts acting up (own the problem and fix it).
3. Choose restaurants like Chuck E. Cheese where everyone behaves badly (make appropriate choices).
Too cutesy by a half....
...not impressed with her attitude
We’ve all had children....and no, you don’t let them scream away in a restaurant, etc
You say NO firmly and take them out
If she’s not going to address this now, what’s the kid going to be like later
Uh, it is your fault if you have a kid like that and take it out until the issue resolves.
THAT Megan Fox? Not Guilty.
If they are too noisy when you take them out to dinner, please don’t do it.
We had a quiet one and a noisy one. We always respected our fellow diners.
Please do the same. The rest of the diners expect and deserve a nice night out. Of course, the restaurant will appreciate your cooperation. Loud children hurt their business.
Truere words were never spoken. Our three are now in their mid to late 20s. Memories of them as kids are fading and at times I look around the house and ask myself "Did we REALLY raise our family here?" It can seem like a dream that never happened. I'd give anything to relive all those great times.
Baby’s crying has never bothered me unless they are in my ear. I have noticed that it really upsets control freaks.
If a child crying in church upsets you, you are in church for the wrong reason.
I knew my youngest was good - for 55 minutes. Any longer and she would act up. We learned to live with the limitation and all was well. The only times it didn’t work out so well was when the restaurant was packed and service was slow.
The screams of the baby being aborted are the ones we should be concerned about
If they were in church, or a restaurant, or similar type setting, my buddy's wife would step out, USUALLY before a disturbance was made. As not to disrupt OTHERS.
As the children grew older, if they got a little too antsy or loud, a lean forward, with a look, got their attention.
Went to a pizza place with the family once.
The waitress started bringing other waitresses by to check out the well behaved family.
The manager came by and remarked about how well the kids were...
And bought dessert for everybody.
Back at home...there is the pitter patter (or stomp stomp stomp) of little (and not so little) feet. There are SHREAKS of delight as a younger one is chased or chases an older one.
They know that their "Uncle Dave" will rough house with them anytime. But the moment we are in public, they are the best behaved kids.
If you have to go out to at with a screaming baby... go to chucky cheese. Don’t subject the rest of the world to your screamer.....
Unfortunately my wife reinforces our baby screaming. The baby screams and Mommy gives her what she wants.
Now mean daddy when she starts screaming I remove her from the area and just stand with her. I get lots of looks and people checking out the screaming baby, but I don’t worry about it. However, when I am alone with the baby, she doesn’t scream as she realizes mean daddy will just let her scream.
It was difficult with my son. He would start screaming immediately and keep screaming until his face turned blue, with his fists and butt cheeks clenched. Only once his entire lung was empty of air would he breath in for another breath.
My daughter was easy. She would start to inhale and keep inhaling until her lungs were bursting full. It would give me time to exit the restaurant or store before she would scream.
Good times...
Cook for your kids. Let, no make the kids help. It builds character. While you are at it, cut the cord on the headphones, and talk. Kids are born retarded but can recover.
Get his hearing checked.
Don't be too sure of that.
2.Vodka is your friend.
No it isn't.
3.If you must go out to eat, go to the next town to the loudest place you can find (where no one knows you) and leave a big tip.
The baby doesn't need more examples of how acceptable loudness is -- and I suspect he's already had one significant example.
4.Leave him with a babysitter until he’s 10.
Back at #2 I was going to say, "Get help," and I knew I was saving it for something even more extreme than the vodka endorsement. Get help.
For thousands of years humans managed to exist without taking screaming offspring to restaurants.
This was never a problem. If you set clear and reasonable expectations everything falls into place. My kids never knew any different.
This is an infant she should use the ouchless duct tape.
