She said, “I can’t tell you how terrible Charlie’s tantrums were.”
“I mean I have two kids and I know what babies can be like and the tantrums and stuff but when I said that he yelled down the restaurant yesterday.
“He just screamed and screamed. There was no consolation at all, he literally yelled down the whole restaurant.
“It was a very, very, very busy restaurant – I could feel there was a table, I just felt it.
“This is my third child – I don’t think they were that kind to be honest about my parenting, although I really did my best to comfort Charlie.”
