Oh how nice.  So do you regularly discuss other "real life" things in front of other peoples' little kids?  Like cancer, kids dying, genocide?  Because really your attitude that no one should think about the feelings of the children around them makes you sound pretty awful. [/quote]

There is a distinction between talking to your child in public, and talking to your child in front of other people's little kids. If everybody limited their public conversation to topics that would be ok if little kids were listening, public conversation would be very, very different.[/quote]

I'm 22:06 from page 2. That's exactly what we try to do. Public conversations are public conversations. If I wouldn't want it printed in the newspaper or announced in front of my kid's entire elementary school, I try to avoid saying it in public unless we are reasonably sure nobody not in our party is within overhearing distance. Why would I want to have a conversation where it could inconvenience or upset another family when there's little drawback to waiting to have the conversation privately?
