Kids in restaurants...

Date sort Score sort
Kids have to be trained. How can you except them to act like they have sence when they are allowed to do whatever they want to at home. Home training goes along way. We started when they were young and we would take them to family friendly places eventually we made our way to the better resturants. They know when it's time to play and when it not time to play. I would love one of my kids to show out when we are taking them some where to eat. They will not embarrass me.

I hate it when someone acts like we should be thanking the heavens above that we are eating in the same place as their brats.

Does me, especially when they interrupt a conversation or continue to say hello until I respond. Occasionally I want to go up to a 'parent' and remind them that I was not put on this earth to entertain their children. I have one of my own and that is quite enough for me.
 
I am normally a very patient person when it comes to kids...heck, I have 3 so I know how it can be. But boy! Today I wanted to scream! A family (grandparents, momma and 2 yr old) come into Cracker Barrel and are seated next to us. Whew. It must have been naptime for the little one cause she threw one holy terror of a fit through all of our lunch. Paci's were flying, food was on the floor, the momma and nearly on my DD. Flung her little self around in the high chair so hard, I thought it was gonna tip over.

DD ate fast and we got the heck out of there before the little things head came off and started to spin...

Thus my curiosity as to your thoughts today

Im assuming you're talking about leaning over the back to back booth thingies? I hope you're not saying that it irritates you to have a kid say hello to you from another table if you are in a booth.

My daughter doesn't ever get to stand up in her chairs to look over the booths, however she is quite social and will say hello to people around us. She doesn't yell and doesn't become overly chatty with everyone. The nicest restraunt we go to with our daughter is Red Lobster or Olive Garden. I consider those family places. I'd not bring her into a more formal setting just yet, but we do always practice good manners and I dont' feel bad about scolding or going out to the car for a time out if necessary.

I don't mind a kid saying HI. I mind them saying hi 19 times in a row completely believing that I am there to play hide and seek with. Or then they hang over the top of the booth staring at you and fidgeting around. If I want to hang out with kids, I will go pick up my nephews. Everyone is entitled to have a good meal and be relaxed while eating that meal.

Well behaved kids in restaurants are a joy. Their parents have taught them well. And I ALWAYS left a restaurant if my son threw a fit. I know I don't want to hear it, so I know no one else does either.
 
I think that kids that sit and are behaved are fine in any restaurants.... they dont bother me at all...
its the noisy, rude little buggers that annoy me and ruin my meal..
and i dont even blame the kids...its the idiot parents...
Train your kids to eat out at mcdonalds BEFORE you bring them into a real restaurant...and if your kid wont behave in mcdonalds..then DONT bring them to a regular restaurant to annoy me! '
 
What I really hate is when we have paid for a sitter for our own children so my husband and I can going out on a "date"...
Lets say we go to a nice-ish place like Carrabba's grill on a Friday or Saturday night... Clearly a date night type place and time.
Next thing you know there is a family of 4 seated right by us that has 2 screaming kids and parents that don't mind if they cry, beat on the table, throw things and raise holy heck.
All the while I am getting more and more mad at the fact that we paid money to have an adult night out.
My children wouldn't have acted as such and if they had tried... it WOULD have STOPPED!!!

Some people just don't think it's reasonable to make them stop... or like I said they just don't care.
 
I like when forks from a neighboring table go buzzing by my ear and land in my dad's plate. ok, that was BEFORE i had kids.

When Ken and I go out, we have requested that no families with children be seated near us. We only do this at the nicer places though. If we are paying $100 for dinner I am not willing to listen to kids scream, yell, whine, beg, throw things, etc.
