11:30 am Mass yesterday...

St. Thomas Aquinas in University Area, and this asshole would not bring his two year old to the quiet room. I couldn't even concentrate, they were three pews in front of me.

When is it too rude to politely ask them to get the fuck up and leave?

IT's my fault, I usually go to the 7:30 am Mass. The earlier, the less screaming rugrats.

 

Don't know if the Catholic church has 'ushers' or anything similar (attendants?), but they should've taken care of that by asking the parent to relocate.

But absent that, I think you probably would've been okay to ask the parent politely if he would move. It's not like there weren't another dozen people around him wanting to do the same thing.

 

Maybe God didn't like the sermon......

 

We know he hates straight folders

 

Hasbeens, if I call sly a bastard is that considered sniping?

 

Not if I break this little tangent off to 'All In'.

 

My church has a room with a big screen TV that shows the service where parents can take misbehaving children. If your church offers the same I would have no qualms asking the parent to take it there.

 

We just went through this a couple of weeks ago. Filip didn't want to sit still and I thought he was disrupting the service, so we left (we didn't drop him off at the nursery cause he wasn't feeling well). The only time that parents should have a child in the service that might disrupt it is at the baptism - or if kshead is there.

 

Exactly. :xyzthumbs

 

St. Thomas Aquinas has long V-shaped pews on the side, the guy was near the middle, if he was close to the aisle, mayber the ushers would have helped.

Fuck a big screen. What's wrong with a glass you can see through? My mother left my younger sister home with my dad til she was old enough to keep her trap shut.

I guess I'll just get my still drunk sleepy ass up at 6:45 to make it to the 7:30. If kids are whining there, I'll tell the parents that shit is acceptable at a later mass.
