So I should have to remove myself from a nice dinner with my mate because I don't want to hear junior screaming his head off? No.

I think next time I make flight arrangements I'm going to make sure there aren't any small children on board...because last time one was squalling all night while I attempted to sleep. Unexcusable.

I think I would make a darn fine parent. I choose not to because A: I don't care for kids and B: I want to concentrate on being a wonderful mate to my man.

There is never an excuse for a tantrum being thrown in a ublic place without the offending creature being removed. I don't care if they're in the middle of a shopping trip or whatever. The PARENT made the choice to bring the child out in public, they should be prepared to leave immediately should the child start up. My mom did it, and it sure worked for me! I learned quickly that screaming was -not- how to get what I wanted.

GO PREGNANCY LICENSE! I wish I had had some sterilization process done when I was young....It would have saved me a lot of anguish when my ex purposely got me pregnant at sixteen so that I wouldn't leave him. Obviously it didn't work, but I wish it had been prevented.
