I always enjoy a breakfast out with a little child abuse at the next table. Doing something about it involve a little smacking around? As lonewolf said not much doing about it with a 1 to 3 yo they wont understand. Its a pretty big expense to walk out with a family of 5 to 7. You take your kids so the learn to eat out and cross your fingers they dont erupt into monsters.

I have seen so many times at Mass parents taking a young child with a tantrum out in the lobby only to bring back and it start right back up. Our Church has 2 quiet rooms with windows and the sermon piped in through speakers usually unused. I just wonder what this do something is? I think every parent would like to have that magic.

Yep. It sucks, but beats the alternative. :D

LMAO

Sad but true.

She hates having to put life on hold because our daughter wants to act like an asshole. I get it.

She can sometimes.

I've been out with my sister and ~3 year old niece when my niece was in a particularly bad mood.... my sister would take her outside or to the restroom, sometimes multiple times before my niece would quit making a scene.

In other words, she'd do what parents should, and at least make some kind of effort, instead of thinking it was cute, as described in the OP. And if your kids are consistently creating scenes in a situation like that, get it to go or figure out something... you know, be responsible for your own kids.

The old my kids were always angels but others no so much.

I have been lucky... I can snap my fingers or use "the Stare" those always do the trick. If they fail we leave from wherever we are, go straight home and whoop ass

Big Biscuit? LMAO

When you go to second-rate establishments, expect second-rate experience.

What did you have? Was it good?

Little kids always suck if they aren't yours.. at least in public situations.

Dogs in public places are out of control.

LMAO

You know what’s worse than loud kids?

Crotchety, old men eating alone at restaurants. Really pretty disturbing.

Would your sister have left the table to discipline a child and leave 4 other children under the age of 7 at the table alone?

This thread is going well

If you're by yourself with 5 kids, you hit the drive-thru. No one anywhere wants anything to do with that mess.

But yeah, bars, breweries, and ethnic places Tristan and Dakota feel is too unsafe for their kids and labradoodle is a safe choice for kid-free meals. High-end just means bigger strollers to have to navigate through here.
