Imposing your children on others

[sockgirl77]

THIS is why I don't take my 2 year old to restaurants, I know he's loud and obnoxious and not everyone finds him as entertaining as i do !!

You need a few more.

People like that know how to be players. Very aware that its wrong and bothersome, they play the game.They let it happen and that puts the ball in your court. If you don't send it back by saying something to them its on you as they see it. They are aware that most people won't say anything, because thats the way most people are. Don't ever be leary of speaking up, thats the key to winning and calling game over.

^This right here^

People are boldly intrusive because we put up with it. Most of us are "nice" and don't want to be rude, so we go, "Well, okay..." when someone encroaches. Those douches who hit you up for money at Wawa and Sheetz? They are counting on you wanting to be polite and not tell them to GTF away from you.

...and this.

I would have smiled and lied "Oh,
We're expecting 2 others!

Question from kid/kids: Can we sit at your table in the empty seats?
Question from me: Are you my children?
Answer from children: No.
Answer from me: Then go back to your parents.
I'm a mean old fart.

I've seen this sign in a couple of restaurants, it must happen more often than you think.

I am the sucker who always ends up with other peoples kids so I guess I am no help. It gets really awkward when I am trying to leave with my kids and convince the ones who are not mine to stay and not follow me. On quite a few occasions people have thought I was abandoning a kid.

Two adults would have been welcome to share our table but I would have told the kids "NO" and told them to return to their parents.


I'm sure the waitress would have appreciated having paying customers sitting in those two seats, too.
