Thanks for the support, folks. Have any of us got the guts to stand up and be counted and make a kind but helpful comment to the mums in question???? Too scared, I guess. Today in our local Costa, child screaming its head off repeatedly, getting more and more wound-up for half an hour-plus, while mums chatted away oblivious. Lots of "cats bottom" faces from surrounding customers, but none of us had the courage to say "Either COMFORT your child or take him outside to calm down."
