Kids in restaurants...

Date sort Score sort
As a mom of 4 I dont really mind them except when they are little turds and their turdiness makes my kids think turdiness is ok, then I am forced to become an evil witch and put my kids in their place which in turn make the turd child's parents glare at me for loudly saying that I find such and such behavior inappropriate and unneeded.Phew, that was a long sentence!
I also dont take my kids into fancy or nicer places.There is no need.If they dont serve kids meals and you have to dress nice it just wont work for us LOL. And i will not let my kids lean over into other people's booths, that irritates the poo out of me and I really like most kids.
 
It depends on the kids and the restaurant. All kids need to go through a "training" program, and I took mine only to family restaurants at that point. Yes, they needed some correction, but the certainly weren't wild. It does irritate me when kids are let to run wild in restaurants or allowed to climb all over the seats. Mostly because there are wait staff carrying heavy trays laden with often very hot food, it's an accident waiting to happen.
 
I had a home daycare for about 3 years. My sweet husband would take me to dinner on the weekends, INVARIABLY, in a full or empty restaurant they would seat the family with heathens right next to us. Well behaved children are a pleasure.

Mine have gone to them. On Mr Saddi's side, there's no other children, so they tend to pick more adult restruants, but the boys also know that I expect them to behave quietly, draw in thier notebooks and keep themselves behaved. They also know to eat what is put in front of them without complaining.
 
Kids need to be taught how to behave in public but most specifically in restaurants. It doesn't matter if it is McD's or a nice evening supper place. You can't show up one day with a 3 year old who has never been made to sit and talk quietly in a restaurant and expect that child to do everything perfectly.

I get irritated and very upset with parents who do nothing to teach their children and expect other patrons to be forgiving of a young child who is not seated, who will not remain seated and cannot speak in hushed tones.
 
Mine have always gone to nice restaurants. We go to the restroom and wash first and they are NOT allowed to leave their seat after we are seated. When we go to pay at some restaurants they are allowed to go pick a piece of candy. Actually that's my niece now, but when my own were small that was the rules. Annoying shrieking, smacking, running, climbing, kids are a nuisance, so I always made sure mine were under control and well behaved for the sake of self and other patrons. Kids who can behave themselves are truly a welcomed delight that adds to the atmosphere of family restaurants, all others should stick to McDonald's where it's almost expected they behave like monkeys. That's MY opinion.

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 am one of those "mean" mom's who makes her kids sit at the table and use their manners daily.Some of my friends tell I am not letting kids bc kids bc I expect them to sit with my husband and I, to chew with mouths closed,to use a fork,and if they dont like what we are having then dont eat but you arent being excused from the table until your parents are done.
