Someone posted something the other day on Facebook ranting against people who didn't want to listen to crying kids at restaurants and on airplanes. They said the people should just shut up and be glad the kid wasn't even louder. One person commented that if anyone ever gives him "the look" when his kid is acting up, he eggs the kid on so it's even worse just to make the "insensitive jerk" even madder. These were Aussies... so clearly the cancer has spread.
Yikes.. Normally, we try to get the kids to cut the crap. If they don't, we leave. One time, I made my oldest (then 7 years old), pay for his meal. It was only 9 or 10 bucks, but lesson learned.
