My husband and I just got back from lunch and I am LIVID! We went to SouperSalad, I dont know if any of you has been there, but the seating is very very close together. We were behind a middle age couple and right behind them was a young mother and her beautiful new born baby girl. The baby began to fuss a little and the middle age “man” instantaniously began to huff and puff and roll his eyes, he did the whole half turn thing and shot the mother a dirty look. His wife then said “people with whining little brats should leave them at home” the comment was directed at her husband obviously but there is no way the poor young mother didnt hear her, when i was seated behind her and she was facing the mother. Then the man stated “thats exactly why we never had any, children are such a nuisance!” my jaw dropped and my husband said if he didnt know any better he saw smoke coming out of my ears.
The mother became obviously flustered and embarrassed. I was going to get some more salad and shot the man and his wife a nasty evil look and stopped and told the mother that she had one of the most beautiful babies I had ever seen, and we chatted for a minute and I commented how sweet the baby was and what a lucky mommy she was. the man and his wife rolled their eyes, meanwhile my husband got up to join me and the mother in our conversation and commented to the man “cute baby huh, cant wait to have my own!” the couple then finished with their meal and left in their pretty black BMW.
This brought to mind when me and my sister flew to Missouri with my baby niece who was 16 months old at the time. When we began to take off she began to fuss and cry. her ears were popping and the noise was frightening to her. meanwhile two rows behind us this jerk who was as old as my dad, but thought he was some young frat boy and his buddy start hollering "plug it up, we dont need to hear that $#!% " and complaining to the stuardess, it was an evening flight, my niece was the only baby on the plane, I was holding her and trying to comfort her but Frat boy Frank kept running his mouth, finally I turned around in my seat and said “do you mind? shes a baby?” and the man sitting in front of him turned to him and said “your bothering me more than that little baby is” that angel of a man then gave my niece a little pink bear he had in his bag, he had gotten the bear for his daughter but figured he could get another one at the next terminal.
when we landed my sister and I pointed out the man to our dad and my dad gave him a good talking too. It just amazes me how RUDE and INTOLERANT people are of children, you almost have to be embarrassed to take a child in a public facility any more! No wonder 1 child is considered enough and if you have two YOURE NUTS and no wonder abortion runs rampant and childless by choice is Chic! I was SO UNBELIEVABLY LIVID at the couple in the restaurant, but the more I think about it, the more I am just plain sad for them. They will never know the joy of a child. Ok getting off of my soap box now!

People are so ignorant! I have 4 little “nuisances” of my own. Those nuisances are part of the reason I had my conversion, all of the reason I quit smoking, drinking in excess, flirting with other men, and most of my opportunity to grow in patience, love, charity…
), I have a soft spot for children. I always smile when I see them at laugh at some of their antics.
