Went to a not-too-fine pizza place in a group with our 9.5 month old two days ago. They had special chairs for infants. She got to watch all the people, which is something she loved, and got some snacks while we ate our stuff. After 2 hours, she had enough and got a bit whiney and tired (entirely expectedly), so we cleaned up the bit of the mess she made and up and left. Tomorrow we and the fam will celebrate grandma's 94th in a somewhat finer place. It will go the same way. If she really should start to cry uncontrollably despite having slept, drunk and eaten, nor too warm nor too cold and no full diaper, we'll go for a walk, and if that doesn't help we know something is wrong and leave.
There's no substitute for some good judgment and treating the people around you with respect.
This country is on the way of going extinct due to low birth rates, and still we have old fucks calling the police and their lawyer because they live near a kindergarten and have nothing better to do but get enranged by some laughing kids. The last thing we need is making young parents feel less welcome and comfortable, or we can just call it a day and close down this place. Restaurant owners asking someone to take measures or leave (temporarily) if a child cries uncontrollably for a while sounds not unreasonable.

Since I often take care of the kid while wife is working, she also got the "you are leaving her *alone*?" which is very insulting.
