WTF to both the diaper changer and the stupid lady at the movie theater!  Why is it that mothers feel the entire world becomes their baby-changing-daycare-playpark-nursing center?

- Diaper changes need to be done in the RESTROOM where everyone else wipes their butt

- Babies (and kids) need to go with mom back to the car, the movie ticket person is not your damn on-the-spot babysitter

- In addition the store is not an impromtu theme park to keep your kid out of your hair while you shop and ...

- no, nursing is not an appropriate public activity.  If your boobs are not allowed to be exposed before kids then they are not allowed to be exposed after.  I don't want to see your kid sucking on your boobie.  If you are going to be out in public during feeding time it is not going to kill your kid to feed it a bottle or two, keep the boobie sucking at home please ...

- and I don't want to hear your little darling whining about having to do something or not getting something or screaming and crying about some crap they don't like while I'm out trying to enjoy my day.  Granted I don't think we need to go back to the days of "children should be seen and not heard", they should be able to express themselves, but it has gone over the line into being intrusive to everyone else around them.  No everyone thinks your kid is cute, smart, talented, whatever.  Teach them manners and how to be respectful in public.

I don't know what's happened to the rest of the posts in this thread, but if what you wrote is a summary of the rest of the discussion then WELL SAID :)

[edit: there was something up with my browser, DOH!]

Sometimes when I've ranted on a CFBC board about inappropriate behaviour I've witnessed in public, mothers have said "YOU were a child once!!" (BINGO!)

Well yes, I WAS a child once and when I was a child, my parents managed not to upset other people if they took me out in public. It's not rocket science!
