Vegabern A 10 month old can't control his actions. 50-60 year old hags can.
well someday very soon, my friend, your going to be one of those old hags.....
and no a 10 month old cannot control his actions, if the parenting wasn't there in the first place.
We were taught from a very young age, to whisper in public....so as not to disturb the private space of others....and that went for doctors offices, restaurants, and everywhere we went.
the last thing anyone wants to hear when they are paying to go out to eat, and have a stress free fun time with family is someone's kid screaming.
Quote:
They seem to think of themselves as experts, did they ever offer to help?
if a parent assumes it's ok to scream like this, then what could they have done to help?
Any suggestions?
I understand both sides. I have nephews and family/friends with new baby. I know how desperately the parents want to get out and live normal life. but I too get irritated when I am at restaurant and there is a screaming kid. I wonder to myself "gosh there comes a headache, why didn't these parents take out & have meal in their house". Is waiting a year or 2 to have proper sit down meal in restaurant that long to wait, just do take outs or find a baby sitter at home while you go out to enjoy. But from the parents I know, it is hard to leave your kid with sitter just to enjoy meal & it is hard to control them.

I agree with you, but there are ways to start training a child at this age, at even 6 months old.....
He realizes when he screams he gets the attention he wants from mom
A baby sometimes cries a lot, b/c mom picks him up....kids learn at a very very young age.
elhelmete Here's what I think: Another clickbait article encouraging equal helpings of canonizing and beating up on both parents and old people.
well, maybe your right, however, I've been thru this several times myself....and it was extremely disturbing and hard to have a good time with friends, let alone hear them.

Also, expecting different at Texas Roadhouse is illogical.
I disagree....
there are people out there in any restaurant, looking to get away from the rest of the world and have a good time....talking and constant screaming kids are a big difference and can ruin the night for a lot of people there at the time.
Mom could have taken the child outside, while the couple could have moved to another table. When my wife and I go into a restaurant, and they try to seat us at a table next to noisy children, I tell them we want a table away from them.
Suppose the parents in this restaurant were against some stranger picking up the child. In this day and age, I certainly would be.
As a waitress, I saw how some parents were even afraid if you spoke to their toddler, so?
My mother in law, held my son, so much, that our first baby sitter went bonkers. When we got home, we found both her and her mother, stating, "What in God's name have you done to this child?" He cried and cried, and held his breath until he passed out, and he was a baby.
So, we spoke to mother in law, and on my next visit to the doctors office, in duress I mentioned this to him. He told me, the next time he does this, take him over to the sink and splash a little bit of cold water in his face, and he'll take a breath. So I did this....and with the help of my mother in law, (thank God) and the doctor's advice, it worked.
And I kid you not, his eyes would roll back into his head and he'd pass out.
and I'd much rather see parents learn how to train their kids then **** and moan....it's not really all that difficult to do.
