How would you react to a stranger shooshing your child at a restaurant?

I realize now that I'm going to IHOP today with my two year old to stage a revolution in the OP's defense. My child shall be saying "hi" to all old people eating at IHOP today in solidarity. UNITE!

I am so happy the discussion got back to IHOP and children's crusades against old people. Now this is why, in the word of cowboy A (can't remember name) to cowboy B in Brokeback Mountain: "I can't quit you" DCUM.

Much too noisy!

Would have made a difference if the old woman had said "hush child"?

Lay off the carbs, OP & I hope you got some manners for Christmas (or maybe they celebrate Kwanzaa?)

No, no. OP is black, but married to a white man, so she thinks Kwanzaa is a joke.

Will OP tell her bratty spawn that his bio father was a donor?

I guess you all need jobs, badly. It must be nice living off hubby's hard earned money so you can write on restroom walls! (That is what I call this, it is the same thing)

way to interfere, PP. if your job is to follow this thread, why are you trying to cut the conversation short?

your mom must have fed you formula, and breast fed your twin brother instead.

I think I have enough material here for some time, and the thread had pretty much stopped before I posted. And by posting I restarted this thread. So, how did I interfere again? Truth is, you're a mean spirited computer geek, who likes anonymous forums. And lastly, I was formula fed,*sigh* my mom felt that breast feeding somehow caused children to become needy and narcissistic.... Who knows?

[Anonymous]

But did your mom know that formula would make you a non-starter who would have to live vicariously through her "pretend" job.

I think mom had dreams of a doctor in the family or perhaps a teacher or even a nurse. But at some point during my upbringing she realized that I was headed towards a career in writing. One that would not pay much but would make me happy. I guess mom had to come to terms with the fact that her child was, in her eyes a failure. I know she often looked at cans of formula in the store and cursed them. She felt that if only she had fed me pure milk from her own nipples, I would have been more successful. *sigh*
