Reminds me of an incident of "child in your face" in a college cafeteria that I witnessed many years ago (when I was in grad school). There were a number of us eating lunch when a woman came in with a crying small child. She placed it on a table and changed the diaper (#2) right there whicle everyone was eating. Talk about a disgusting display and the smirk that she had on her face the whole time made you want to punch it off her. I complained to the cafeteria manager (another student) and was told that she was a faculty member's wife and there wasn't anything he could do other than ask her to leave, which she did after completing her mission which was apparently to gross out the rest of us and show that somewere someone had the poor taste to have productive sex with her.
Ewww! That's some nerve.
There's a lot of in your face parenting out there these days. It's one of my hot buttons. BTW, there's another active thread on this incident today and the article there says the parents bought three seats, two in one row and one in another, and then were trying to PUT THE CHILD IN THE SEAT AWAY FROM THEM!
The audacity! They know they've created a little monster so they were going to sit away from her and make her someone else's problem!
