[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 465823, member: 84"] Well...........I will say there have been occasions when Nana has had to be the little birdie and to tell Nichole that it was obvious Aubrey wasn't winding down on her own and that she needed to: insert whatever was appropriate from a stern talking to in the restroom, to a break outside....whatever. In her defense, she's never seen me handle such a situation because mine went everywhere I did (literally), and they were taught from infancy how to behave in public. However, I've had much practice at handling other people's children in public, so I know what to do. I worked in Toys at Meijers. Now I loved that job to the nth degree. What I hated was parents who dumped their kids in the dept and took off to shop.....as young as 3-4 yr olds. That didn't last long with me around. Sorry, but I was a store clerk, not a babysitter. Store manager backed me up. A parent who dumped a kid in my dept got called on the PA system to pick up their "lost child" immediately. I can't take the ones who let them cry either. If they treat them like that in public, how do they treat them at home? sheesh [/QUOTE]
