re: A quick PSA for parents with screaming kids in a restaurant…

So you're the virgin who has never gotten laid, let alone had kids?

Nobody but you thinks your ugly bastard spawn are precious when they throw a tantrum in public.

frick you, I’m a parent who hasn’t seen the inside of a restaurant in six weeks and exhausted from the latest stomach virus making its rounds through both kids and I just want to fricking be waited on and not have to clean the dishes and kitchen after eating. Let me have my $12 burger and fries while my kid does a-hole things. If you don’t like it have some kids of your own and see if you don’t not do a shite ton of the things you always said you’d never do when you have kids.

Totally get all that....but have you maybe stopped to consider you're not the only one in the world going through shite.... that there may be other people in the resturant looking to escape their situation for a couple of hours and your basically saying frick them...as a matter of fact frick everyone but me....people who do this are selfish as frick.

Hopefully they’re trying to teach the kiddos how to be out with adults

that's one reason places like Mcdonald's and CiCi's exist: so children can be socialized into proper public behavior

If you want to avoid kids go somewhere a bit more upscale. If they scream at Red Lobster/Olive Garden/Piccadilly you might have a complaint.

If they scream at Mansur's you have a right to bitch

I don’t have this problem but I also don’t eat at Chili’s.

Best practice advice to parents with toddlers who always flip out in the high chair and won’t stop no matter what you try to occupy them with. For when the plastic toys you brought in the baby bag don’t work when you make the presentation on the chair tray. When attempts at distraction doesn’t jolt them out of the illogical mania that has over taken them once seated at a restaurant table. When a shiny fork is revealed and presented from the mystery of a rolled up napkin. When nothing works and the child is begging for attention.

Give them the attention that works. For me, it was my son (now 16.) The moment he got strapped into the high chair it was like stepping on a red ant mound of manic emotions. It was like a colonel blowing the whistle for the crazy to come charging out of the trench. I got so tired of his bull shite act after a year of constantly having to pick him up out of his seat and go outside before my food e en hit the table. So one day, I found the remedy that ended that shite forever. He started in on his attention seeking act and I unbuckled his strap , reached while he was screaming like a banshee, and hoisted him over my head and into the air. I said “Here he is folks. He wants you to how loud he can cry.” He didn’t like presenting his antics to the larger audience and went silent. After that, anytime he started to revert back to a temper tantrum, all that I had to do is reach over and unstrap him and say “you want to go up? Sounds like you want to go up.” Immediate change in behavior. He became a good boy again.

listen, bro…. there isn’t a single human being on this planet that likes or loves your child except those who genetically contributed to its existence.

This is just a bit over the top, don't you think?

Quick story:

My kid continued to be unruly in crowded restaurant after a couple of warnings. Gave the stern dad look, scooped her up and headed towards the exit. Just as we reach the door she yells out, "Daddy don't beat me".

Needless to say we did not go back in the restaurant waiting on the wifey to pay the bill.
