I think the lady WAS complimenting you - on discipling your children at all - many times, in these situations, parents overlook the disruption their kids are causing and do nothing.<BR/>So you are to be applauded.<BR/>Please give her the benefit of the doubt (altho I know I didn't experience the conversation firsthand). <BR/>As well,I hope she did not get the runs or sand fleas in her armpits. That was good for a mid-morning guffaw.<BR/>Thanks for listening,<BR/>~MadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15728543.post-24479008588287230912007-09-09T20:34:00.000-04:002007-09-09T20:34:00.000-04:00I agree with Crissy.

And may the fleas from a thousand camels infest her armpits.<BR/><BR/>On another note, I wanted to say that I've so been there done that in restaurants. And my oldest can be very whiny/demanding--and it gets worse in public (why is that?). Anyway, I wanted to offer you some encouragement: It gets better believe it or not. Mine is now six and is so much calmer. In fact I hate to admit this, but in a way, I love my children more the older they get. I think I've grown more patient and they've matured. But you can ask Crissy--he is so much easier to handle. Anyway, hang in there! love ya girl!<BR/>amberAmberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18390742776411936526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15728543.post-86246714061416449052007-09-08T19:30:00.000-04:002007-09-08T19:30:00.000-04:00Hateful woman...

Keep it up Jawan! You are a great mom and you are doing a beautiful job raising your 3 wonderful children. How else will they learn to "behave" in a restaruant unless you teach them this skill? I love you! LibbyLibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082443626743973421noreply@blogger.com
