She should try a Catholic Church...we’re used to a entire rows of unruly young’ns.
Kinda goes with the “no contraception” thing ;)
Oh we have a cry room from loud babies, toddlers and even a few older children. Special needs people use it too. At our church we have a person with trisomy 21 who has, from time to time, tendencies to screech like a pterodactyl with out warning. Trust me it does break the spine.
Yes I quite agree with another FReeper that these special needs children have no right to disturb others but at the same time they should be allowed to attend church.

Not in my day.
You didn't DARE be unruly, or make the slightest noise or Mom would give you *the look*.
She sat in the middle of us and everyone was within arms reach, and if you didn't take the hint the first time, well, she had pretty good aim considering you could never see her look when she swatted.
You used to hope whoever was on the outside wasn't acting up cause when she reached over to swat them, she often got a twofer.
You learned to sit back quickly when you saw her arm move or you just leaned back some when the sibling wouldn't settle down.
