Do you get annoyed when other people's kids cry in public?

lol no...actually im so greatful they arent my kids.....lmao....

no, bc i've been there before. i get annoyed by old people who give dirty looks..... like their babies were perfect

hell, I get annoyed when my own kids cry in public, but when it comes to other peoples kids I tend to be more understanding and silently thankful their not mine.

If the parents yell back and cause a bigger scene I get little annoyed but the kids don't annoy me.

I won't get aggravated at someone's crying child. I have no idea why they're crying, and if the parent is ignoring their tantrums.. that's probably what it takes to get them to stop.

It's mainly the parents reaction. It's not normal to let your child scream so loud people across the store can hear them. If I can manage to maintain my child, so can you.

yes i get annoyed. Mostly at the parents not doing anything about it. I guess they are afraid they will get in trouble for yelling at the kids or spankings.

anon 10:36, that is the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard. your child isn't someone elses child and may act completely different.

I don't really get annoyed unless they go on and on and on. I know it's not what the parents want so no it doesn't really bother me.

Why would I get mad because a child is crying?? And why would I get mad because the parent isn't punishing the child for crying? Kids cry. It's part of life. My daughter-19 mos old- ocassionally cries in public. Oh well! She calms down on her own. I don't need to "punish" her fir acting like a normal toddler. I think parents need to stop worrying about what others think about them, and instead do what is best for their child.
