Julie: If you havene't figured out by now, the most self assured experts in may fields are those who have never had to get their hands dirty working in it. This goes double for dealing with children and child raising in general. Either tune them out completely or tell then to call you when there youngest has reached the age of 18. We have five. My baby just turned 30. Let me tell you raising kids is a wild ride and not for the fainthearted. Are they all living the way we taught them? No. Are they all self supproting useful members of society? Yes, although for a couple we were wondering for a while. Have they been hauled about on public transortation? Yes, quite a few times.I found this post googling the topic. I realize it is an older post. However, I was completely appalled by the oringinal poster's attitude. NO I will not be drugging my kids to suit you. They are well-behaved, but they are very young still and act like kids, not adults. If this is a problem for you, DRIVE!! Apparently PUBLIC transportation is not for you!!How well behaved are your kids? There will be other people on this train, a lot of other people actually. Who won't want t deal with kids crying and screaming most of the trip because they are bored or over tired. Make sure you bring stuff for them to do or use baby benadryl. Of course you are worried about yourslef and the kids on your trip, that is to be expected, but please think of those around you as well on this trip.
