Children Crying in Restaurants?

[aaronfelipe]

I said intolerable but that also depends on the age of the kid. You can't really get mad over a three month old baby but if it's a one or two year old who is louder, it's disrespectful. Sometimes the parents let their kids sit there and cry disregarding EVERYONE who is trying to have a conversation/ enjoy themselves at a restaurant. So to me, it varies.

[Ran]

These new laws or whatever about not spanking your kids is bullshit... My mom beat the hell out of me when I was a kid and I will do the same.. (Hopefully, Max will be a better kid than me, lol) The parents that choose not to spank their children are the parents that will have to deal with the shit their kids put them thru later.

Behold the source of the problem.

Are you stupid? As I said in previous post, unless your at a fast food resteraunt or a KIDS resteraunt don't bring your screaming ass baby with you. I'm not paying more than $5 for a meal to have to sit and have a baby screaming beside me. Maybe the opinion changes when you become a parent, but when I become a parent I plan on having the COMMON SENSE and respect for people to not bring a child into a sit down resteraunt when they are still unable to behave.

Screaming at any resteraunt is "unacceptable" and if you think otherwise... refer to my first sentance.

Are you stupid? Read her 1st post again:

It's not like she was screaming incessantly or even letting out loud shrills.

She didn't have a "screaming ass baby".

Dumb fuck.

Dumb fuck.

Agreed. Later, QD.

Usually when i hear a baby crying and screaming in a restaurant, i ask the parents to take the baby back out to their E36 M3, SRT4, WRX (few SRT4/WRXs found in this price), LS1 fbody, RSX, civic EP3, or MB CLK430 so i can enjoy my meal.

[quickdodge®]

^^^ Nice one, lolol. Later, QD.

If the baby is like SCREAMING CRYING like total tantrum then I mind, just little crying upset baby I don't mind at all, it's a baby, they are cute, you can't control it all.

She is cute... here she is. Annistyn at 3 Months.

Who would have guessed we would make such a beautiful baby!?!?!?! I guess I'm biased, but she is the cutest thing ever!

I am impressed. Normally babies are ugly (except for my 2 kids when they were born), but she is actually adorable. Or is it that I am just a father of 2 now so I look at babies differently?

WTF @ 3 month old ear piercing? I mean, really?

[Frög]

Can't stand it. Its almost as bad as a kid crying on airplane.

Yeah, almost..

I was about to say that.. lol

When I lived in Thailand, I would fly home to Paris twice a year.. Those are 12+ hour flights.. If you are sitting by a crying baby, you will, and I mean, YOU WILL want to drown that baby no matter how cute he/she is..

Insanity makes you do crazy things.. And sitting 12 hours by a crying baby stuck in a plane WILL make you go insane..

Thank you! I think you always look at children differently after you have them yourself, but I have to agree with you... she is adorable.

I had her ears pierced at 2 months old. She cried for literally 10 seconds and was completely fine. It did not even phase her. (Unlike the 5 year old who went after her... she went home with only 1 ear pierced.)

Wow, I wouldn't think that a good idea at all but if it's medically sound and you're cool with it then have at it. I've be terrified to even approach my newborn with a spork. lol

Cute kid BTW.

Thank you!

I consulted with her pediatrician before having it done, and she even gave me a list of approved places that are "Infant Friendly."

We tried to pierce our daughter's ear but it kept getting infected. We cleaned it every chance we got (several times a day), but it just wouldn't go away. It got so bad her earlobe swelled up AROUND the ear ring and we had to take them out with pliers. Well, my dad did. I couldn't handle her in pain so I had to go outside (crying) while they did it.

Oh my goodness! That is terrible.... I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. Fortunately, we have not had any issues.

Could have been the metal the earring was made of. I can not wear gold in my ears but i can wear gold necklaces and rings. Might want to try stainless steel or silver.

This is true. I have a pretty severe allergy to nickel. We used 14K gold studs in my daughter's ears as that is the only metal I have not had some sort of reaction to. Not sure whether she has the allergy yet or not, so we took precautions anyway. Stainless steel is also a pretty good alternative.

Mine were pierced at 6 weeks.

[G.C]

Don't mind at all.

Not trying to start anything, but this is just the first thing that came to my mind....not sure if you were refering to the pain or what, but what is the difference of doing that over choosing to circumcize a boy?! lol Just saying.....it's a thought.....

My mom had my ears pierced at 3 months..... *shrugs*

[amped4life33]

theres a very easy solution to this...just set aside one section of the restaurant for familys with young children.

[ksniperfox]

makes me want to punch the baby

until you're able to control your child or the child is old enough to understand that they need to be quiet, then you need to leave the child with a sitter when you go out to eat, to the movies or any public gathering that loud children are not welcome

x2. very true.



movies or a restaurant, it is very rude and unnerving while im trying to have a quiet dinner or a date. shit even when i am with friends it is annoying as all hail. either learn to control your child or simply leave them at home with a sitter if they are too young.

[ksniperfox]

they have that, its called chuck e cheese. or day care.

Whats better than going out after a long hard work week, and having a whiney ass baby scream in your ear when you're trying to eat your 50 dollar steak. LOL

How do you guys feel about children crying in a family restaurant atmosphere?

Here's the story:

My husband and I have a 3 Month old little girl, who we took to dinner with us tonight at the request of the couple whom we were dining with. It was the first time they had the opportunity to meet her, and we were excited to do so.

We chose to eat at the local Mexican restaurant, which is a family oriented atmosphere that we dine at very frequently. Well, being that our daughter is only 3 months old, her temperament is pretty unpredictable, and she just happened to be fairly cranky this evening.The couple who we were with made several very rude comments to us about her interrupting and disturbing other people who were in the restaurant. It's not like she was screaming incessantly or even letting out loud shrills. To say the least, I spent a majority of the evening with my daughter in the car.

So... if you are dining in a family oriented restaurant, and a child cries occasionally during your meal, how does it make you feel?

Erin obviously those aren't that great of friends to make such comments. You know I have a 3 year old and she was exactly like that when she was her age. It does get a bit worse before it gets better in age. Especially When they get a bit older than Annie (hope i spelled it right). Children cry and people should know that. I don't see why you would have had to spend the night in the car, or most of it for that matter.

But to answer you question hun. There is a point where it does get fairly annoying, and I'm saying this even with my own daughter, where we have just gotten food to go and left. The only reason it got annoying is because she was tired and 1.5 years old and SCREEAMING. But I doubt that she was doing that to yall.

Hope that helps.

Cliffs Notes:
- Children Cry and its bearable for the most part. Your friends were just being rude.

[hondachik]

I have a 3 yr old daughter and currently pregnant with my 2nd child. I don't too much take her out to public restaurants just because she's unpredictable, just like any human being. I don't have any problems with her because since an early age shes been familiar with an ass whooping.

But a 3 month old? C'mon. Instead of sitting in my car, I would have snapped on their ass and got my check and a to-go box and went home. U can't control what a newborn does. You shouldn't at all feel bad or embarassed. You were in a FAMILY ENVIROMENT. I'm sure there were kids there a whole lot louder than your baby, and other couples who've had kids tend to be a lot more tolerable to infants, and even tend to find it cute when they cry. Infants don't bother me as long as I see the parents trying to console them. Same with kids. But if the parents are just sitting there enjoying their meal...then I get pissed. I don't throw mean looks but I just hurry to leave....I hate being rude because I already have my daughter and about to pop another kid out....so I wouldn't want anyone mean to me. But srsly, I would have told that other couple to kiss my ass, fuck them other people meal. Hell your only priority is trying to calm your child & make her happy...Not caring if someone can't chew their fcking chalupa.

[Elbow]

She is cute... here she is. Annistyn at 3 Months.

VERY cute, let her make as much noise as she wants, who could be annoyed at her?

I completely understand! The restaurant was loud in general, and I was ready to just get my food to go. It was the first time she had ever acted that way in public. Generally, she is very mild mannered and quiet, so I was slightly panicked and doing everything I possibly could to console her. When all else failed, I went to the car. The waiter had just brought my husband's margarita to the table, and I really wanted to give him a chance to enjoy it. I sat in the car, fed her, rocked her to sleep, and watched a movie.

Congrats on the baby by the way!

[stephanie]

a few outbursts fine....an all out tantrum....no

i will straight up leave a store and beat some ass, i have kids also

just remember if you went out on a date night without your child and someone brought their kids how would you feel.

[eraser4g63]

I just plain hate kids
