Parents not taking there crying child outside at a restaurant or store

[Losty]

I don't really understand why families take their babies out to eat in a restaurant anyway. It's not like babies can eat whatever is on the menu yet, and it's not like they're going to have fond memories of "that time my parents took me out as a baby" in years to come. There's no need for it in the first place. Like really, stay in your "taking the newborn for a stroll in the park" lane.

I don't envy anyone who works in retail long-term though. That one summer in 2013 was enough for me. I have SO many little things customers do that piss me off just from those 4 months.

Maybe it's because we like going out to eat...I suppose I could have left my babies home alone but I think it might be illegal. I could hire a baby sitter but then I'd be looked down upon for leaving my baby at such a young age (it's a huge thing here seriously. I once went to lunch with my sister at a restaurant I generally went to with my ex husband and the waitress asked where my kids were and then admonished me for leaving my then husband to babysit such a little baby. It's stupid but common where I live).

If your baby is crying it's probably hungry or in need of a diaper change. If neither of these things help then get a box and take your food to go.

I have three kids, I never ever let them be loud and annoying in restaurants (except chuckle cheese). I don't want to listen to other people's kids either.

I do agree that some restaurants are just not for kids.
