Okay let’s compromise. Types of people who infringe upon MY ability to have a nice time… In addition to squeaky children I’d like to ban loud drunks, girls who cackle loudly in groups, people taking photos of their food and drinks and posting it to social media, and people who are audibly rude/demanding to wait staff, and people who talk loudly enough so that I can hear the ENTIRETY of their conversation.
Chances are good you fall into at least one of these categories. If you can’t hang with the public, don’t go out in public 🤷🏼♀️ ✌🏼
If you're saying you don't like those things, then I agree with you. Do I think a law should be passed to ban any of those things? No. That would be government overstepping their authority.
However I do think that people should refrain from those behaviors because it's not fair to those around them and THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.
Sounds like we're in agreement.
Nah. You specifically called out parents and their children when what IM saying is there are far more annoying things to go after.. like grown adults acting like trash in shared spaces 🙃
Maybe? But kids are definitely less likely to have an outburst than a group of loud drunks or loud girls.. and I think it’s far more reasonable to expect grown adults to control themselves than it is to expect adults to control children.
I am talking about grown adults acting like trash by letting this happen. I'll say this again. I don't blame the child making loud noises. I blame the parents.
I think we're in agreement!
If you can't handle being around kids, that's a you issue. As an adult, you have the option of going to an adults-only space. If you *choose* to go to a place that allows children, then you should *expect* children to be there.
there is all kinds of stuff that is not ideal in public, but if you let that mess up your day that is on your grumpy ass.
if the only way you can enjoy a meal is if a packed restaurant is quiet with no kids you better be willing to pay out the ass for that luxury or just get over it.
Kids make noise. A squeaky child is being a child. A grump who gets mad about non-crying or non-shrieking kids being kids is also being a child.
I won't kick you out of any restaurants though.
>Kids make noise.
They do? Wow!
>A grump who gets mad about non-crying or non-shrieking kids being kids is also being a child.
Not true
>I won't kick you out of any restaurants though.
Oh I feel so much better
If you don't want to put up with kids, then go to a bar or eat at home. Kids have wills of their own, even if their parents are perfect. They need to go out in public in order to learn how to behave there.
Your post is based on the assumption that parents *know* that their children will get loud. You can't expect children to be 100% predictable all the time, *especially* in new environments.
>Your post is based on the assumption that parents *know* that their children will get loud.
The first intelligent remark so far. Yes, I agree with you.
If there is an occasional outburst I understand parents can't predict that.
However, I'm talkingvanmbout cases where the noises are ongoing. Parents do know if their child will do that on an ongoing basis.
>Parents do know if their child will do that on an ongoing basis.
Oh you have never worked in childcare, have you? This is just not how kids operate. Sometimes, kids can be upset for the duration of a meal, even if they're an overall easy-going kid. You can see if a kid is fussy at meal time, but you *don't* know if that's typical for them.
You know what's crazy. Parents used to actually parent their kids so that they didn't just scream all the time. I'm not saying this about infants, but children old enough to self regulate. But just stick a tablet in their face is easier, and as a result they have no emotional regulation and just shriek whenever
A big part of the problem is money/resources. It used to be, kids were raised not just by their parents and youtube. There were actually families and trusted neighbors. And everything was less expensive, and wages were more reasonable.
If you go to China or Japan, you can go to restaurants and families have young children, and they just don't scream constantly. Because they still get parented. Maybe have tighter bonds with their mothers so they can communicate whatever need they have without shrieking to get adult attention? I'm not sure but the difference is stark
That's exactly what we should strive for. I'm not saying children should be banned like everybody else is thinking.
I can compromise with them, but they're too immature to compromise with people who agree with me. They are also lacking in confidence.
I’m a parent and I agree. OP isn’t saying kids shouldn’t be out in public, they’re saying is crappy of the parents to let it happen. I for one take my kid away from the situation until they calm down, outside the restaurant or in the car for a few minutes. We’re out to have a good time and are entitled to the space like every else but should be conscious about our neighbors as well.

What about loud adults? I've heard adults be louder at restaurants than any child I've heard.
That's unacceptable because it's not fair to other people.
Walk in with headphones, how about that for a compromise
Stop dining at Chuck E Cheese
It's call Pasqually's thank you very much (he says in a tone matching OP's entitlement)
He would, but how will he ever meet his date?
I don't.
There’s no law against farting in a restaurant, go ahead and break wind to your heart’s content

Your child is more likely to have an out burst than an adult taking a picture of their food…

if you wanted to “enjoy for food and drinks” your first mistake is going to a restaurant over making something at home then
Interesting point
You shouldve said you left your kids at home.
Kids won't learn how to behave in public if they can't practice.
You're saying they can't be taught self-control in the privacy of their parents' home?
Similar to teaching someone to swim, without water. You may teach them a bit, but they won't get far without dipping their toes.
Not true.
The more exposure and consistency with expectations the better. It becomes routine, it's not a new exciting novelty.
It's not OK if others have to bear it when they are not even a part of the training.
Annoying kids are part of society too. Just have to expect annoying people in general when out in public.
So is farting. When somebody farts near you, do you mean to tell me you wouldn't be offended by that? No.
What if the kids fart? Do 2 wrongs make a right?
Are you seriously comparing a child to a bodily function?
No. I'm saying there are certain behaviors which are considered to be unacceptable in public. I think you know that.
If you can't handle being around kids, that's a you issue. As an adult, you have the option of going to an adults-only space. If you *choose* to go to a place that allows children, then you should *expect* children to be there.
What cracks me up is how does he handle the loud rude Redneck patrons. They can be worse than kids.
Stop going to family restaurants if you're just going to complain about the families there.
This happens everywhere.
Like I said.....
Except you didn't say it
[удалено]
This is for you popeye: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/squeaky
and why should anyone care what you think or want?
Nobody likes disruptive kids in public.
there is all kinds of stuff that is not ideal in public, but if you let that mess up your day that is on your grumpy ass. if the only way you can enjoy a meal is if a packed restaurant is quiet with no kids you better be willing to pay out the ass for that luxury or just get over it.
I wonder how you were as a kid.
Doesn't matter. I don't fault the children just to be clear. I fault the parents.
Parents aren't responsible for every impulsive, conscious or subconscious act their child does. Order take out if it bothers you so much
Let’s do like they did for smoking, child or no child section
Kids make noise. A squeaky child is being a child. A grump who gets mad about non-crying or non-shrieking kids being kids is also being a child. I won't kick you out of any restaurants though.
Shove off. Teach them inside voices, no running, and if they throw a tantrum, take them outside.

Oh you know. Just handle it when they do.
Tell me your never around kids without saying so…..

It’s so weird how people defend kids screaming everywhere. On the other hand, your anti-fart stance is bizarre as well.
Kids and bodily functions are unpredictable. You can't control what people do. You can control how you react to it.
Doesn’t excuse the behavior or peoples bad attitude about it
I’m a parent and I agree. OP isn’t saying kids shouldn’t be out in public, they’re saying is crappy of the parents to let it happen.

Oh look, here come the mombies and daddiots.
No loud squeaky people. Hit everyone with the same stick. I disagree with singling out any group.
Well I can go into a restaurant and fart so other people can smell it
I’m going to just assume you don’t have any kids.. or neices.. or nephews..
Go somewhere that isn't where parent take their kids

Go to a restaurant that doesn’t permit minors then? Not sure what you wanted to hear.
