My kids are 19 & 21 now. Just last nite, my son was watching as I was checking the recent msgs on this board.
I was divorced when they were 1 & 3yo. So, I asked my son last nite if it was dfficult for him when I had a headache. He said that if the "Mama says, she has a headache-we just leave the Mama alone."
Back then, I'd lay on the couch with the curtains pulled- I'd make popcorn and pop in a Disney video
and we'd pretend we were at the movies for 2 hrs.
Another thing-not all babies are screamers.They usually cry or act out because they are wet, hungary, tired, bored or they hurt somewhere.
It sounds to me those parents in the resturant were insenitive to that child-he may have been telling them "my attention span is too short to be at an adult dinner party and be expected to behave as an adult!"
