[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 467355, member: 4264"] Ugh! Frustrating isn't it? I get just as irked at this type of thing. My thoughts on another approach that might send a very clear message AND have the bonus benefit of amusing you, thereby defusing your angst ... Next time a mother allows a child to carry on screaming without intervening to fix the situation and is shopping as though their child is not present? Grab a cell phone that has ability to record. Get close to the child, pretend to be straightening up or something. Make sure they can't see the phone, record a minimum of one full minute of the childs screams. Go to your intercom. Say nothing. Play said recording at high volume via the loudspeakers. When the recording ends say: Just a store reminder to adhere to the clearly posted guidelines for supervising your children while shopping. We are plenty comfortable asking parents to remove their children from the store if the parent shows a lack of desire to parent the child. Yes, this means YOU. bwaa haa haa haa [/QUOTE]
