When our kids were young and we went out to eat we would hire a

My father expected me to behave properly in a restaurant, so I did.

When you were 2?

What's so odd about that? My son caused no problems in restaurants at
that age. He yacked a lot, but he was rarely loud. No tantrums, no crying
and screaming. But, his nap vs fun schedule was easy to work around. We
knew when he normally got tired & cranky, and tried to avoid taking him
out at those times. Some parents are too dumb to spot the pattern.


I see.

You see? You seem to doubt it. But, why do we hear so many screaming babies
in public places? Are they all feeling sick? Are some kids allergic to
supermarkets? Of course not. They just don't want to be there for some
reason. I had a blast with my son at the supermarket. Too bad the only way
to get him there now is to hog-tie him and drag him in.
