My oldest son (9 years old) is handicapped. He acts like he is 12 months old. I then have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. They all behave relatively fine in restaurants if theyre not hungry. The problem with going out to eat is waiting for the food. If the restaurant takes awhile for appetizers or the server is busy or slow or whatever. Guess what happens?

My kids will cry because they see other people eating. Often we will bring snacks and other stuff to calm the children. But, sometimes you run out or it gets dropped and you hope for the best. Not a lot you can do in that scenario.

But, to all of you who are complaining about kids in restaurants. Some of you will end up as parents some day. I hope you end up practicing what you preach.

If your children can't behave then leave them at home with a babysitter. I don't care if you son is handicapped, if he is disruptive to others around him that are trying to have a nice dining experience then he needs to stay at home, it really is that simple. If your other children can't sit quietly because "they're hungry" then feed the little critters something before going to the restaurant or again leave them home with a babysitter. Personally a 1 and 3 year old have no business in a nice restaurant, it's Chuckie Cheese and McDonald's as a training ground to teach then how to behave when eating out, not the nicer restaurants.

No one said you have to stay at home when you become a parent, but given the responses from some, I would venture the guess that you can't find a babysitter because your little darlings are too out of control and no one wants to watch them so you have to bring them along. Remember, being a parent doesn't give you the right to be an ass in public and inconsiderate of others.

Wow, you sound like a bag full of fuck. Chances are, you're going out to a "nice" restaurant like Applebee's or Chili's at 4:40pm and complaining that your $8.99 senior citizen discounted meal is ruined by some kid who quietly sneezed across the room.


Whee, aren't stupid exaggerations for the purpose of insults fun! :roll:

Hey gunslinger, if your idea of a fine dining experience is Applebee's or Chilli's you need to better job that pays more the the janitorial work your doing now. It will never happen since you're at the top of the job skills you can acquire given your intellectual prowess. But you can always dream!

If your kid is well-behaved enough to be quiet and not be obnoxious, by all means, bring them out. However, if your kid is loud, annoying, and just generally being a little shit, GTFO of the restaurant. I pay for someone to cook, serve, and clean up my dinner, NOT to listen to some kid scream and cry.

I go a restaurant to have a meal with my family, not to hear some 23-year-old douche-bag brag about nailing the office slut, or some emo kids whine about life, or some block-head jocks argue about whether he had both feet down or his arm moved forward, or some old man choke and wheeze on his mashed potatoes, etc.

But the fact is, if you're around other people, you should expect to have to endure the common behaviors of those people. Emos whine, douche-bag brag, jocks argue, old people choke, and kids cry. Either suck it up, cook your own meal, or go someplace without a kid's menu.

QFT.

This entire thread can be summed up w/ this post alone.

For all those parents who say "I don't give a shit/fuck about what you think, I'm bringing my kids to any restaurant I want to", please read the quoted post above.

I hate it when parents don't control their children and allow them to misbehave and disturb others around them. This includes loud annoying kids at restaurants, kids running around in the streets, kids throwing shit all over the place at walmart (or similar store).

Hell, I almost hit a little kid (probably 3 years old) while driving under 10mph in a parking lot looking for a space. He was so small I barely saw him in front of me until just like a foot away I saw him jumping around while playing. You know what his damn mother did? Not a goddamn thing. She saw what nearly happened, and all she did was look at the kid and slowly walk over to him and finally grabbed his hand to walk him the rest of the way to the store. The whole thing of almost hitting the kid nearly gave me a heart attack.

Point is, FUCKING control your kids or something bad could happen.

My children are quite behaved thank you very much. I'm just saying that things come up on why children might misbehave in a restaurant even when a parent has pretty good control of their children.

Restaurants are public places. If you dislike the people and their children that frequent there. Don't go there.

Here is a hint for you people that don't like children where you eat.....

If the restaurant has a kid's menu... Don't eat there.

So if it doesn't have a kid's menu - you and others won't take your kids there? Sounds like we have a deal.
I don't take my 3 kids to any "real" restaurants but we do hit ihop,fazolis, and the like but refuse to take them to places that serve adult beverages as that seems to be the line where kids just aren't catered to. There are no crayons and papers to draw on there, there are no kid sized cups, etc.

NO. Leave your kids with a babysitter, or go to the restaurant before 6PM. No one wants to deal with your kids.

That would be fine, thanks!

I've got a better idea... how about you just sit at home and not worry about it. kthxbai.

You can't control what other people do, but you can control what you do... put two and two together assfuck.

By the way, you should "borrow" a kid sometime and take it to a restaurant with some hot waitresses. You'll probably get far more action than you've ever had (of course by the sounds of it, any action would be far more than you've ever had).

 

[JulesMaximus]

Just got back from taking my son to a little cafe down in the harbor. Just Father and Son.

I have no problem taking him out to restaurants. I'd take him anywhere.

Just one more thing but does anyone see the hypocrisy in this statement, "Restaurants are public places. If you dislike the people and their children that frequent there. Don't go there." Smokers have been saying the same thing as each ban is passed, if you don't like the smoke go don't go there. Want to bet that the same people who are stating if you don't like their kids don't go there are the same people that supported the smoking bans? Not to get a smoking debate going just pointing out the hypocritical nature of people, you know, I don't like it so you can't do it but it's okay for me to do something you don't like.

I find money works even better!

 

[waggy]

I have no problem takeing my kids out for dinner (granted i don't take them to adult places. most "adult" place we go is something like ruby tuesdays). IF someone has a problem with kids being there and being kids then fuck em. BUT i refuse to take the kids out when they are sick/or having a temper tantrum.

YOu NEED to take kids out so they learn to behave. you are not always going to have a perfect time but each time is better.

Lets make it very simple, I and many other don't give a crap what other think. You don't like eating there, go home or go to another restaurant. No one will tell me at what place i can eat at, just because you don't want to hear baby crying. So deal with, it as simple as that.

 

[crystal]

Never did I see so many ass fuck in one thread. To keep up the theme of the thread, OP sucks my dick. When you paid for my dinner, then you might have a small chance to ask where/when I can take my kids to dine.

Wow, this topic's hotter than religion sucks, evolution, or gay NASCAR drivers! Needs more fuel though, so without further ado:

Leave your smelly, senile grandparents in the nursing home. I don't go to nice restaurants (not that I do anyway) to listen to you loudly ask your grandmother eight times if she needs to use the restroom when it is apparent to all in the room that she already has.

 

[ShotgunSteven]

Child Free Dining (Not a very comprehensive list, I know there are a lot more than that. There was a series of news stories recently about restaurants that are doing well despite poor economic times by having a no children policy.)

No kids allowed?

How should restaurants handle misbehaving children?

No Delivery, No Kids (I will have to check them out the next time I am in Seattle.)

I took my sister, her husband, and their four kids to see WALL-E when I was visiting them in Virginia over the Summer. We were a little worried as the youngest wasn't even a year old at the time, so we were prepared to exit the theatre with her if need be.

Turned out that she was quiet through most of the movie, and a guy who appeared to be about forty or so that sat a few rows back from us wound up making more noise than all of their kids combined.

You might ask why we would even care, being that WALL-E is a Disney/PIXAR movie, but there were more adults there on opening day than there were children, and just because it is a kids movie doesn't mean you let the kids run amok and ruin it for everyone else.

I went to a late night showing of Saving Private Ryan on opening night, and there were people there that brought infants, toddlers, and even elementary age school kids and let them run all over the theatre and use is at their personal playground. :roll:
