Ok - free chill pills for everyone. 
Let's all keep the discussion professional and keep the personal attack out. I must have been at a different meeting than some of the other people on here. (I must have taken one too many chill pills. :eek2: ) Like I said in my previous post, I didn't see anything wrong with Nu2SW's two kids or how Nu2SW handle the baby when it started making some noise. Fatsuki's orginal comment may have come off harsh - but if you look beyond the harsh comments, there is some truth to it. I have been in LFS (or any other store) where the kids were chasing each other all over the store. I am not implying the Nu2SW kids would do that - but other people's kids do that.
Nu2SW - If you decide to join the club , there still quite a few of us (many who have remained quiet) who would welcome your family. Even if you don't join - feel free to stay on this board and ask questions. Also - this group is a pretty forgiving group. People may be jumping on you right now - but in a couple of months, people will forget about this whole thread.

I will consider it. Seeing as the type of person you are Nice and respectful,u are correct, You were at the correct meeting and I was holding a baby in the middle of the room Along with my wife passing the baby back and fourth asking her "loudly" to hold her since my arms were getting tired.

Yeah Minh. If I recall, it was you that was a bit harsh to one or two of our new members. Call it hazing, if you will.

Dude, You need to relax.
I wasn't there that night so I can't say whether or not your children were being noisy. I just want to say that it's rude and disrespectful to the speaker when children are being cute kids. If I was there that night, I probably would of awwwed at your kids because of their cuteness, but their cuteness disrupts the speaker. I know this for a fact because I once spoke at our meetings. My son was there and my husband tried his best to keep him entertained, but my own son was a distraction to me. He was smiling, giggling and being a silly baby, which is great, but as a speaker it's highly distracting to have your presentation disrupted by awws, adults chuckling and infant squeals of delight.
I wasn't bragging about my kid to you. I was stating that when he does act up even a little(talking, babbling, or any noise), he is quickly removed from the room and only brought back when he settles down. Yes, I miss a lot, but it's what we did to make the evening pleasant for everyone.
I'm glad the group was willing to try out my son at the meetings. I don't know, but I believe we were one of the first to bring a baby. There were a few people who were upset by the idea of a baby at the meeting, but we showed them it can be done without being disrespectful to the group. You have to remember this isn't a playgroup or a group with a lot of children in attendance. This is a group of adults who do not bring their kids to the meetings or who do not have children. To me that means I have to respect that and try my best to accomodate them. That's why I stopped bringing my kid to the meetings when he turned a year. Like I stated earlier, it's not fair to him to sit still for 2 or more hours.
Anyway, you do what you want to do.

Not being a MARS member myself, but having attended meetings and knowing several members, I can honestly say they're a very friendly and family oriented group of people.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but only a handfull of MARS members are even RC members, so you can't simply make a judgement call of all MARS members by the online actions of a few.
That being said, it's not easy giving a presentation at these meetings. People aren't exactly sitting still, etc. I've had my share of kids stories at our BAR meetings, but in almost every case, a parent stepped in and stepped out.

wow.. why the nonsense?... This thread is really lopsiding what goes on here at MARS. I truly am sorry to both sides of this argument, because no one's going to win and intentional stabs at others are rather out of hand and unnecessary... Please don't let the words of a few represent the majority. I can assure you that near everyone in MARS has good intentions when it comes to others.
This thread is not a joke, but know that room must be left for jokes in their own respect. Deterring people from this club is not good for current members nor the prospective ones, not to mention those who aren't members would really be missing out on a great opportunity! If you are unsure, ask other MARS members about the club, you really do get a lot for that small $25 a year, even if you have tolerate others. Though tolerating really shouldn't be an issue unless you make it one, there are great people here and MARS is a really great club.

I believe the issue had more to do with:
#1 not taking responsibility for your own kids, such as saying ââ"šÂ¬Ã…"œI saw a little girl playing quietlyââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ and not saying, ââ"šÂ¬Ã…"œThat was my kidââ"šÂ¬Ã‚Â
#2 Upon the realization that (oops, maybe my kid may have been a little too loud), maybe admitting to it and saying something like ââ"šÂ¬Ã…"œIââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ll make sure to keep her quieter next time, and Iââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢m sorry about any inconveniencesââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ (obviously there were inconveniences, just re-read this thread), not to mention our speaker having to pause numerous times to find his place during the lecture after being thrown off track by excessive noise.
Iââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢m not one to stay quiet when things like this come up, Iââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢m a dad that takes pride on behavior, and things like this make us look badââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦
We are all very happy for you and your success, as you may realize (or maybe not) money does not bring ââ"šÂ¬Ã…"œclassââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ that is a learned trait that should be taught from a young age by parents.
The other thing you may not realize but may at a latter time that 95% of the members are either well off, or have good jobs with darn good incomes, we are beyond putting up with the BS that comes from ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦.let me stop there before I get carried awayââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦.
In closing, thereââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s a level of mutual respect that is expected and once you step all over it you maybe questioned on itââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦
Ask Lilleah, she went through some rough times at first but she pulled through by realizing (read: being more mature) that she was doing things that where not seen in a good light and she grew up right before our very eyes.
So ther way I see it you have some choices to make.
