Screaming baby at ski resort -- who's right and who's wrong?

This was 12 years ago and we still give him grief about it. I saw him recently and said, "Try not to shit in the sink..."

When he posts what city he's in on FB, about half the time another writer or former writer will post, "Don't shit in the sink..."

 

She can always clean the toilet with his toothbrush.

 

I'm staying at a very nice hotel in Phoenix and there are two screaming babies and an NBA team making all sorts of noise every night.

 

Think of all the nasty notes you have to write.

 

Neat story from which lessons can be learned.

 

I think the difference between a hotel and a ski resort is there are times that the hotel is your only option. A relative dies or you are in town just visiting them and their house is not large enough, the hotel is your only option.

Resorts are not only options.

This all said, there is a lot to be said for white noise in a room. Almost all major buildings have white noise due to fresh air makeup in the rooms required by code. If you turned the HVAC off, you would be able to everything in a building and it would drive you nuts. In a hotel, the white noise goes off once the HVAC clicks off.

 

No doubt about it. None whatsoever. All day. And I'm equally sure they left the baby alone in the room while they drank at the hotel bar, too, because people like to drink when they're at conferences. No doubt about it. :

 

I have taken sympathy on a young mom with a crying baby in a public place before.

Sometimes, she just needs a man who can understand what she's going through.

And an offer of a free latte at the coffee shop.

 

A free latte ain't going to quiet the baby.

 

And sound advise like "plant your corn early this year"

 

Any tales of how that's worked for you in the past? I love those.

 

I do. And if my kid is crying in the middle of the night, I'm doing everything I can do to keep her quiet.
For me, my daughter was an angel when she was little. Slept through the night from Day 1. I would have taken her on a ski trip.
But sometimes kids cry. And parents deal.
The guy who wrote this letter is a dick. I'm sure the parents weren't super pumped about the kid being up. You can rock a kid all night and sometimes they don't fall asleep. Who knows what was going on.
But for someone to say a baby doesn't belong is asinine.
