And if you were inconsiderate, then this thread wouldn't exist.

Ok, maybe I should add to that. Babies will cry, kids will throw up, and you will do your best to look after them but you will still get the angry looks from some people no matter what you do. You are already having a difficult time without that added pressure. I'm not saying that you shouldn't look after your kids and be inconsiderate, far from it. Just do your best and don't make other peoples attitudes make it worse for you.
