i take matt's point - nobody likes a whining kid, least of all on a plane or in a pub. however, i shall be taking my baby to the pub, because i like a pint, and as an almost teetotal mothership for the last 8 1/2 months, i feel it's my due. if he starts whinging, i shall probably take him home or slip a double brandy into his milk. joke. on a related note, i have for some years now taken the piss out of the bourgeoisie mummies with three wheelers in east dulwich but am now forced to review my position; last week i was horrified to observe myself emerging from yo maman bebe (or whatever it's called) and waddle up LL. i fear it...
