I have no probelm with that, ecpetwhat if you're a single mom with 3 kids trying to handle all of them? But for the most part I agree.

And it is true, everything you did as a kid comes back to get you... Bill Cosby called it the curse.

Well see you bring another variable to the situation. I'm not heartless I can understand a situation like that. The last 5 situations I've been involved with is one little kid and either one or both parents.

it's pretty easy to parent from the cheap seats.

I remember when I was a flat belly and I'd get ticked at some children's public behavior.

Then I grew up and had kids of my own and I realize how stupid I was for having that attitude.

It just seems that there could be a middle ground here somewhere . Where people without kids could go have a nice quiet meal without hearing screamig kids and people with kids wouldnt have to leave them at home.:dunno:

This brings up another issue that drives me crazy. I was at a bar here in Knoxville Monday evening and I get up there and some woman had her kid sitting right up at the bar just ranting and being talkative and carrying on.

I leave work and want to relax with a beer/Wild Turkey 101. The last thing I need is for some snot nosed kid running his mouth and making a scene. If I wanted to here somebody immature just running their mouths and talking about nothing, I could drink at my girlfriend's house.

Funny you say that. My boy and I went to the library this afternoon, and afterwards we stopped by the Irish pub where I've been a regular for a dozen years. We sat up at the bar, just like the boy's been doing since he was two weeks old. The staff love him, because they've known him his whole life. They talk to him, bring him chocolate milk, flip coasters at him, etc. Of course he's "talkative," as if that's somehow a crime, but he never makes any kind of a scene. I could give a crap what some loser on his own down the bar who thinks Wild Turkey is worth drinking thinks about it.

Children have to learn by example. I always take my kids out for lunch, hardly ever at night b/c of a few different reasons. Noise is the sound of life and while yes, taking a child that has hit their limit is understandable, you also have to teach the child that just b/c they scream doesn't mean they get to go out to the car and watch a movie or go outside and play, they have to learn that when you sit down at a restaurant it's time to eat. So I say this, be patient with little ones learning to behave in public, it's a short term milestone that should be adored b/c it passes soooo quickly and pretty soon they sit there on their asses like the rest of us stuffing themselves with way too much food, etc. Extreme situations, of course, but throwing sippy cups, that is part of their development. All kids love to play that game, I'll throw my sippy down and mom or dad will pick it up for me, eventually you have to not and that is when they learn about holding on to their stuff. It's cause and effect, their own little personal gravity lesson. I saw these idiots spanking their child for throwing his sippy down, all the little guy was doing was developing his brain. Judge on no kid having people, judge on.

We took our kids to restaurants when young and I honestly do not recall them ever acting up to the point of bothering anyone. It boils down to how/if they are taught discipline from the get go. I am not talking iron fisted parenting either, just not letting the child run the parent as many do.

agreed, i'd much rather have 2 dozen crying babies around instead of 4 or 5 14-18 year olds busy impressing themselves being jackasses.

It isn't... same with WIC vouchers. My point is, screaming kids with parents just ignoring them and going about their business just heaps on top of those.

Trust me if it is out of control I address it. If they are just throwing a little fit I ignore it. Once they get to a decible level that makes those around us cringe I pop that butt or remove them if I have to.

I'm not telling anyone how to parent. I know I'm in for it when I have some critters because of the hell I gave my parents. I was simply saying if the screaming gets to the point where it's ridiclious..... take them outside.

Agreed
