Why have 3+ kids if you can’t afford a babysitter?

They let their toddler strapped in the stroller scream for a full hour our on top of their lungs in a public waiting room.

I finally came up to them and pointed out that they have been screaming for an hour. She told me how it was so rude of me because it’s a public place and “babies cry”.

It never occurred to her it was rude to subject to the other four dozen adults to her baby crying. And that’s how they roll.

She's technically right. Why didn't you go to somewhere more quiet or your car? You are in a public waiting room. PUBLIC. Of course there are kids there.

Right?! And she’s mad because she’s trying to work. 🙄

Because I only expect some of my kids to survive to adulthood.

What does “public” mean? That I can subject everyone to my kids screaming for hours?

Everyone must endure because I have to bring my kids everywhere I go like a traveling circus?

Yes, you can leave if you’re bothered. You aren’t being held hostage
