Why arent babies gagged/sedated in public?

Coriolanus

I know little Jenny is probably a dote but if she starts crying while I'm enjoying my brekkie stand the fúck up and do something rather than carrying on as if you can't hear it.
All seriousness aside, how do you deal with someone who won't make even a token effort? Babies cry, that's fine, but they can also be calmed down with a little bit of effort.

Most people shouldn't be allowed have babies...

Why are you eating your breakfast in Jenny's kitchen? Maybe she's scared?

Babies on planes are like the ultimate trolls. Just as you're nodding off in the one comfortable position possible they start crying like a motherfúcker until you go "OK OK I'M AWAKE!"

Then guess who stops crying :mad:

Some Roma Gypsies have been known to sedate their babies while out begging for the day, think we're all better than that.

Best advice is to steer well clear, 'cos Mam/Dad are probably stressed to the eyeballs and don't want some pr*ck approaching them at that exact second.

most people seem to think everyone else should have to put up with their babies

even when they reach adulthood

parents should be made responsible for the monsters they have created



and fined if they turn out to be not so good looking when they are adults

Damn inconsiderate babies. It's not as if all of us were ever babies.

OP, if you really want an answer to your question you should have posted this on the Parents forum. I'll bring the popcorn.

Fun fact: I was actually never a baby!

Cos it doesn't just stop at babies!

If parents were to give in to their babys needs to please people in public they will then be giving in to the child's needs in public to forever please the joe soap they'll never see again!

Then that same joe soap will moan when the spoilt 16 year old gets whatever he/she wants cos mammy/daddy can't say no to them!


**Joe** Just give the child whatever he or she wants so I can have some peace ffs. Shouldn't have kids if you can't keep them quiet while I eat brekkie or fly somewhere. Grr grr grr

16 years later

**Joe** That ****ing spoilt brat gets whatever they ****ing want. Who gives their child a car at 16 grr grr grr. Parents should be ashamed. Shouldn't have kids if they can't say no and use a thing called parenting.

Id say you are still a baby

Oh just a fyi before some asks. I have a kid. I try to get him to clam down if we are out eating but I won't go to the extent as to give him everything he wants just to sooth others. He learns more this way that he can't have everything and he will eventually calm down. I don't fly with him but maybe that's me just being considerate

I know babies are cute and all but screaming while im trying to have my breakfast would drive me mad.

That's fair enough but what about the other people who are trying to enjoy their meal, the did not ask for a screaming child with their order.:)

A drop of Jameson in every feed of milk I say, that'll keep em quiet. Plus babies love it when they're pished sure who doesn't.....

Long haul flights with babies nearby is akin to torture.

amdublin

Gagging and sedation is a bit too far.

But at least try stop the baby crying rather than sitting there with the attitude of : yeah it's my baby it cries, disturbing your starbucks is it, yeah get over it.

Funnily enough bet the parent doesn't have that attitude at 4am after being woken up for the tenth time.

Yawns

As I said I will try to calm the child down, bu not to the extent of giving him everything he wants.

I didn't order having to listen to other people's shít conversations but guess what? It happens when you eat out. You want a nice quiet envoiroment then you have it at home. If I am going out to have brekkie in public place I take on board that there will be others around me talking, moaning, griping or just reading a paper and being quiet.

There's worse things than a baby crying in a café and goes something along the lines of someone drugged out of his head talking to his "bhuddddy".

To be fair druggies tend to be escorted straight out of cafes/restos/shops.

Baby cage in the cargo hold is the way forward.

Yawns

I would agree with you in the past amdublin but more and more I see them allowed to stay in cafés & shops. Not restaurants tho.

hondasam

parents become so immune to the crying that the forget it annoys everyone else around them. There is nothing worse than a crying baby in a restaurant. I would say there is a difference in a bold child and an upset child. no one likes to hear a baby upset.

I need to invent a mute button for the yokes.... pity you couldn't plug a pair of earphones in so the noise is saved for little Dorothy's mum's ears only.

Your druggies must be "ok" druggies :rolleyes: out my way they're booted straight out.

I wish parents would realise that other people don't give a flying f*$k about their babies. It's so annoying when people bring them into work etc to show them off and stick photos all over the place around their desk........get a f*$king life!
