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.

Much of Mrs. Fox’s article is satire along with her outpouring of misery.

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.
