Banning loud children from restaurants, airplanes

Post Reply New Topic

I don't doubt that at all. Likewise laws in the United States have no bearing on any other countries. Therefore blanket statements about such things on a forum frequented by people from all over the world is a bit daft.

He's probably referring to the fact that the restaurant in question is in the United States.

*I* am frustrated about other people being rude and ignorant of other people, and you tell me that *I* am rude? Enough with this "parents are always right" crap. There are parents who do give a s**t about others, and there are PLENTY of others who do not. Guess which one is in majority?

But yeah, i'm f*****g great to be with. And i use cursed language to get my emotions across, there are no emoticons/smileys invented yet that could do my point justice.

I'd have left much earlier than that, but hey, this is just proof of what I've always suspected... All kids have bipolar!

They are where i live. And i've read court records online from the US, most have been published by reporters in PDF format, they have to buy those from somewhere. There are very few occasions where court records would be sealed, and that requires some extra ordinary circumstances. Protecting the reputation of a corporation would hardly be such a case.

Been eating out the past couple of days in various places, and noticed a couple of really pertinent fact. All the BABIES I've seen have generally been well-behaved and happy and not disruptive at all. The people being loud, obnoxious and generally disturbing everyone's meals were not children at all, but teenagers or adults. Shouting, throwing stuff, swearing, running about and generally making themselves a right pain in the ass. Babies don't do any of that. They might get upset, but when you only have one way to communicate your requirements to the outside world, that's what happens.

Where the heck do you live Macbeth? LOL

If someone had a peaceful baby they can eat in that restaurant, from what i understand. It is the screaming ones that must leave. Parents are usually well aware of their childrens' limitations. Babies are fairly predictable. Unless they have colic or something they either need to be fed, burped, changed or held when they cry.

What I originally wrote was:



Would you kindly explain how a statement starting with, "In the U.S." qualifies as a "blanket statement?" It's pretty clear that I was refering to the United States seeing as I specifically said, "In the U.S." and the eatery whose policy sparked this debate is located in the U.S.

In the future, I would suggest reading posts more carefully, especially if you are going to be calling other people "daft." That was rather rude and unnecessary.

I politely suggest you take a leaf out of your own book and read posts more carefully. Then you would know that I wasn't referring to a statement by you but this one:

PS I'm an X-Files geek too.

What about banning loud kids from church? Stupid parents sitting in the first or second row of church and the pastor is trying to give a sermon and he gets interrupted constantly by a brat! Churches do have nurseries and also there is such a thing as sitting in back of the church or getting a sitter. With airplanes that is the most annoying thing. I was sitting in first class and this kid just wouldn't shut up no matter what the dad told her. I can't stand the whining and stomping of feet. With restaurants, I just avoid all the family type restaurants. My parents and I rarely dine out but when we do we pick really fancy restaurants where no kids go to. Peace and quiet. I'm sooooooooo thankful I don't have kids. I try my best and just avoid going places where a lot of kids hang out.

About time! I hope the same law will make its way here.

I seriously wonder if anyone here remembers what they were like as a kid. I was well mannered sometimes but other times when my parents weren't understanding that tonight was not a good restaurant night for me, I wasn't well mannered. I think it's discrimination against children. Many people now are used to abortion defense and dehumanized children in the womb calling them "It", money being the utmost important factor in someone's well being and happiness that people have forgotten that children aren't always going to be on their best behavior and neither were they as children.

I don't like the sound of screaming kids either. Who does??? I do know though that this kind of thinking is just showing that our country is growing less kid friendly. If these restaurants only want adults, they wouldn't make as much money. They have made accomodations in the past. Airplanes used to be way more kid friendly and would have several different items to aid children passengers. Now they just sneer at the thought.

Parents on the other hand especially with autistic children should develop a routine of going to the restroom with their child to calm them down. Workers should give enough time for that or be polite and asking the parents to take their child somewhere to calm down. It's not fair to children with autism who in the past weren't even brought out in public settings. I hear people complain now about just how many autistic children they see now in public settings as if they should all be locked up at home.

No screaming babies? Babies are going to scream and cry. So you're saying that the moment your poor little ears hears a baby scream or cry out of hunger or needing to be changed that parent should be told to leave that place once and for all?

Oh right because you as a baby never did that..

This isn't just someone with autism who doesn't like the sound of a crying baby, most people don't. However, all this is going to do is lock parents up at home for having children just so those who don't have children can go wherever they choose and give a sigh of relief until, someone else in a particular category annoys them too.

So? They stay home for a few months while the baby is still too young to go out- that is not ridiculous to expect. People choose to have kids and if they are not ready to miss out on a few dinners out then they should consider waiting a while. If they cant get a sitter then order in. You don't usually get out much in the first few months anyway. If your kid is going through a phase of being obnoxious and disturbing then it is your responsibility to either handle it or not take them any where until they are over the spell. I had to leave stores and restaurants when mine was a toddler, and it was because I didn't want other people to have to listen to her tantrums. I could ignore it. It only lasts a little while. This is part of parenting- it is something people have forgotten or just don't care about any more. I didn't hear kids in public places when I was growing up, and I didn't cause disruptions either. My mom waited until we could handle it before she took us places like restaurants or movies. We had what they call "home training".

Oh yea I avoid going to movies. Too many kids talking so loud. It's like shut the f*** up! Other people want to watch the movie. I have seen parents bring their kids to a R film.
