Toddlers in Restaurants

[getbent]

I have a neighbor that would tell his son when he was acting up " Do we need to go where there's no witness's?"

 

[dixiepeach]

Orthe parents who say......if you are good we'll get you a toy. No people, your kids should be good without a toy.
The one kid had french fries and the mother kept putting ketchup on the plate that the child keptsmearing on her hands then all over the chair she was standing on.
The waitress said she would have to wipe down the whole chair and rest of area before her shift ended.

I agree. Kids should behave regardless. To me, that's lazy parenting.

sounds like my ex's friend's kids

...if they are well behaved or not. I shouldn't have to put up with people who choose to bring their children out when I am trying to enjoy my bean sprouts, mineral water and listen to some Pat Boone. I am not interested in 'family' sections nor is it appropriate to have 'kid friendly' restaurants. It's not fair to make me be near them nor to impose upon me to have to go somewhere where they are not. I have rights.

Further, they may have colds, the flu or some other festering going on that may get on me. They might squeal or cry. They may spill something sticky that may get on my hands or my seat and then my clothing. The could spill something causing the wait staff to slip and be injured, or worse, me. They are a health and safety risk to people who HAVE to work around them.

Every time I go out and had to have put up with this, I feel like I need to take a shower and wash my cloths. A lot more people would go out and enjoy themselves if we put a stop to this.

I have to agree. If I am gonna have to put up with this unhealthy atsmophere
I should atleast be able to light up a smoke to calm my nerves

Your kids annoy me while I'm out enjoying a meal, I'll walk over and stab them right in front of you.

Then I'll back hand you across the face.
Then I'll kick your hubby in the nuts so he can't reproduce any more monsters.

Have a nice day moron.

I can't stand it when parents in the stores like Walmart are walking around, pushing the cart with the kid that's screaming at the top of her/his lungs and mom and dad are acting like they don't hear it. I want to grab them and tell them to step up and be a parent!!! Go figure? It makes shopping in walmart even more miserable than before!

I can say that because I've raised 3 wonderful kids who never gave me trouble like that, so I know it's possible. (I also stayed home and raised them myself) so I know how tiring it can be, but consistance really pays off.

Another stupid thread where people can pat themselves on the back and tell everyone how great they are as parents. In reality their kids are no better than anyone elses and they are average parents as well.
Why do people feel the need to brag about this crap?
My kids are good and act accordingly in public most of the time. How this is I have no idea. I do nothing extraordinary. I don't even spank for the most part. There have been situations where I couldn't get the hell out of there fast enough and the kids were about to get strangled.
Kids are kids. Let them be kids. If you are unhappy in a restaraunt because there are kids there, pull the pole out of your butt and carry on. Don't go back to that restaraunt. Whatever. Kids are people too and they don't always act like angels. I have seen many an adult act like complete idiots in restaraunts as well. I have served and bartended enough to know. Adults get on my nerves more than kids.

Nope. I hate to hear people about BS like this. "When I was a kid...." "If I ever did that." "My kids would never....". Complete BS. Sometimes I wonder if some people ever were kids or if they popped out stuffy old farts. For God's sake. Kids are great! But they get on your nerves sometimes. Big deal.

Lets look at it this way, if I am going to spend good money on going out to eat it doesn't matter who I am with and that includes my 2 1/2 year old daughter. She is a complete and total doll when I go out, esp. when her Godmother or her "Uncle" Josh come out to eat with us. She is a sweetheart and I have never had a problem. maybe its how parents raise their children. If the parents act like heathens, then the child(ren) will follow suit.

None of that addresses the self-centeredshiatforbrains that don't clean up after their disgusting, muddled snot-goblins. The mess shouldn't be left for a waitress.

I do this regardless if my daughter is there or not. I won't bother to clean up the actual floor unless its crayons....however the table is spotless when the waitress comes to pick up the dishes.

Cammy baybay, hunney, snookems.... I should be able to go to a restaurant without having to see lil hoodlums out of control ruining my date/dinner.

Oh and for the record, I never have and never will have a pole in my butt!!

Parents are lazy these days and have no concept of public behavior.

Nine times out of ten they don't leave or correct the child because they don't notice because they are so conditioned. The kids are the bosses.
