Never mind banning babies from pubs.......

[titch juicy]

......please someone ban them from sainsburys- or at least ban parents that just let them scream. It's like Halloween in here.

[????]

...let's just ban them from public full stop .... lock 'em inside or put them up chimneys

[Devonlass15]

So parents with children aren't allowed to shop either? What a miserable lot you are...

If a child is screaming in Sainsbury's I just go up to them and ask them what the matter is. It guarantees perfect silence and usually a very brief chat with a parent relieved that someone is being sympathetic.

Lets ban old people from supermarkets at the weekend.

When you lot get round to having kids you'll get used to screaming babies in different venues hee hee..

[Annette Curtain]

I only took mine to the supermarket to scream, or feed them with free food.

Or smack them.

That's after getting pissed in the pub first.

NETTE:-S

What's with this "miserable lot", "you lot" bollocks? Devonlass15 and karter, you must have teeny tiny living rooms if 1-3 people is considered a lot.

Must be what having kids does to your social lives...

I take my tribe to the supermarket in the hope of losing them. Not such luck yet... *sighs* ;-)

Some parents' pain threshold for screaming toddlers is much higher than mine.If mine played up I just used to pick them up , leave my shopping and take them outside/ home/ to the play park and then come back later. I wish some parents would do the same and not tough it out.

I've tried this a few times. Along the lines of "Oi, what's that noise?" When it works the thanks come tumbling out from the distressed parent. When it doesn't, you get some very odd looks and a few people tapping in 999 on their phone. Not sure I'd advise it.

Not a bad idea! It would be quieter for them to shop during the day, in the week.

It maybe that it hadn't occurred to them to change their habits of shopping on a Saturday?!

Just a thought

Just scream back at them - usually works.

I wish everyone was like you.....it's infuriating that despite some parents' scream threshold being high, they don't consider that other people's might not be.

I am not exaggerating when I say that there was a non-stop background scream for the hour i was in there on saturday.

Go to the Horniman Museum....But buy some ear plugs! you will go deaf with screaming brats running around the gallerys!.

whilst mummy n daddy is drinking a latte in the cafe.

If the offspring starts to throw a paddy I get them down to the supermarket asap. I can?t be doing with that sort of thing in the house.
