Things we do to fit in"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."
What have you done to fit in?

if it were me...I'd hve just leathererd the little sod and then pre-empted the whining mother by tearing her off a strip for letting her retard-child behave like a total arse.
I'm expecting my first kid any time soon (or rather my wife is), and neither of us buy into this guardian-reading mentality of letting kids go beserk or sitting baps-out in starbucks breastfeeding and defying anyone to complain (despite breastfeeding in public actually breaking three or four public decency laws). If a kid is old enough to communicate, it's old enough to know right from wrong and it should also learn a) respect for others and, b) picking a fight with someone 5 times your size is a sureire way to an ass-kicking.
Mothers like that tend to wind me up - my best mate's wife is one (see this post to get an idea of the turmoil her and her spawn have caused... thankfully she's just had a second kid, so she's too busy to act like a twunt and they're too broke to spoil the kids any more. result!

Breast feeding......isn't remotely indecent, in public or elsewhere. Unless, of course, you contort yourself to get a good look at the - shudder - nipple as it is very briefly exposed to a very small angle of view. In which case I think the ogling perve has rather more of a problem than the mother, the child or the rest of society.
It doesn't break any laws and, in this enlightened part of the UK (Scotland) has explicit and strong legal protection.
On the other hand you are quite right about bratty behaviour. The child may not know what's acceptable, but the parent bloody well does.
