[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suppose I shouldn’t be shocked at how inconsiderate and selfish some people are, but it’s still pretty surprising to me that people are defending their appalling behavior here.  There are decent ways to behave in public.  Listening to a television show or video or game in a public place like a restaurant or public transportation is incredibly rude and inconsiderate.  It’s laughable that someone even tried to say she was allowing Frozen songs for our consideration.  Yes, I would much rather hear live humans around me conversing, not some annoying song or sound effects.  It’s just that you’re too lazy to put in the effort to make conversation with your child.

FWIW, I’m a parent of a 6 year old and have literally never allowed him to use my phone in public without headphones. I’ve only ever allo rd him to use it, period, in a few unusual circumstances, like once when we were stuck at the airport for an inspected layover.  We were packed at the boarding gate, people sitting on the floor all around us, everyone stressed, and my then 4-year old was getting whiny and antsy.  So I let him use my phone.  On MUTE, because I didn’t have headphones, and I wasn’t about to worsen other peope’s Stress by inflicting Blippi or Daniel Tiger on them. [/quote]

Having that one kid must really be tough. Thank god you’re such a good parent![/quote]
