[quote=Anonymous][quote]Churches have nurseries and you put him in there. Yesterday some woman let her baby cry, at full bladt, for a cew minutes before taking it out. At one point we could not hear the minister over the kid crying. You and your chatty two yr. Old do not have the right to wreck the one hour of the week that the other congregants look forward to as a quiet time to commune and worship. Take him to the nursery.[/quote]

This attitude is part of what is destroying churches.  If you don't want kids in church, guess what?  They aren't going to learn to behave in church, and they certainly aren't going to want anything to do with church as they grow up.  Studies have shown that people who went to church regularly as children are the people who go to church as adults -- especially the ones who fall away for some number of years in their 20s and 30s.

Back to the original question.  OP, is food frowned upon in your church?  I find a bag of raisins will keep my 2 year old occupied and quiet for a good 15-20 minutes.  [/quote]
