Okay everyone, this is OT but I need the help of as many of us as I can get and this thread seems to capture the majority of us.

My hubby who is a Prebyterian decided it was time to go to Holy Mass with us. (Keep praying for conversion, please!). We discussed whether he should go to a Lite-Mass, that is without the Latin and Greek, or to a full blown conservative Holy Mass. He chose the 1:30 which is totally in the vernacular, normally. I have to get my girls to the church for choir at 10:30, no matter what but he sleeps later than the 9:30 and the 11:30 is in Slovak. It's a bit of an effort on my part but well worth it.
Okay, so here is the problem. We had a family sit behind us that needed to be in the cry room. My hubby could not hear what Father was saying because of it. Looks back at this family did not help at all. The mother took the little into the cry room during the Consecration! but left the father with the older boy who continually asked where his mom was.

How would you handle the situation?

You would be amazed at how many things duct tape really can fix.

Take your husband to a Korean Catholic Church. Their babies don't cry.

Yikes, that is a difficult one. After all, how Christian is it to turn around and say, "Shut up, you stupid brat." Which, of course, is the first thing that pops into my mind! We don't have a cry room at our church, and never have of the 6 Catholic churches which I have attended.

If you don't mind, where do you have Mass in Latin and Greek? Is this at a parish church or a basillica? We occasionally get a Celtic Mass, but that's it.
