Keep Your Baby Quiet!
A rant on babies that cry during films, at dinner, and at church. All in good taste, though.
Before you think, wow the author must be a jerk, let me say that I love babies! Heck, I was one once! Babies are cute and all, then they cry. I know crying is not their fault (they do not have a way to tell parents anything) but… it’s loud!
Everyone needs a good cry every once in a while, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I am, however, speaking of places where babies seem to cry often. Churches, restaurants, and movie theaters are all places where babies decide to make a ton of noise. Here is the kicker though, parents never seem to think “I should take my baby outside, this might disrupt somebody.”
Well, why don’t parents act on their kindergarten lessons, respect others. I cannot understand why a parent would sit and let a baby disrupt an entire half hour of a movie, or let other people grind their teeth at Ruby Tuesdays.
Don’t bring the baby! He/she would probably rather swing it at home, instead of hot and noisy public places. I know sometimes that is not an option but in the respect of the other people; Keep your baby quiet!

It’s one thing to make a recommendation it’s another when you don’t have a sound solution to what is consider a healthy problem. Babies cry that’s what they do. A healthy baby that hasn’t been fed or is in need of attention, can’t voice their opinion like our adult selves this is why they do the only thing they know how to do best is cry. Now if the writer had said parents here’s an alternative for your crying baby, then the article would be worth understanding, but as the writer claim a hot and noisy place is no place for a baby, what’s mind boogling is that a nooooisy place can be disrupted by a crying baby.
