You probably should not have made a scene, but I don’t blame you. Some parents just don’t give a shite. I have a good friend with 5 kids. Not one time do they ever act out in public. Spare me the “you don’t know until you have kids” bullshite. If I ever acted out or was ever disruptive in public, my parents would remedy that real quick.

Yell at my kid and I'll punch you in the mouth. They're kids.

And that’s who this falls on, not the child. Politely ask the parents to intervene or leave.

Yep. Children need to be shown how to act. Parents should work on manners at an early age.

It's easier not to care, but parents need to teach their children how to act.

I've left a restaurant before when my child was causing a scene.

A college basket ball coach once said that kids haven’t changed, we’ve changed. We expect and demand less. I totally agree with that.

That’s responsible parenting. You’re little one is going to be just fine.

He will. Neither Boo of myself will allow him to act up in public. Yes, I know there will be tantrums and meltdowns, but I'm not just going to let him be a little a-hole. Thankfully he is a good kid.

I jumped some high school looking kids that were making fun of a Down syndrome kid in a restaurant. A few of them ran out and got their mom (I had zero idea why she was in the parking lot). Mom came inside in a huff, I pointed to the child and she abruptly left.

Oh it's definitely ok to intervene at a time like that. Making fun of someone with special needs, or making fun of anyone really, needs to be punished.

You’re the problem.. if you spent more time teach little dax about self discipline instead of discipline at the plate you wouldn’t have these problem

That’s why you slept on the sofa.

Calmly asking if they would please stop likely would have scared the shite out of them.


If those kids feared their elders, they wouldn’t have been acting like that in a public place. I can imagine your technique going something like this:

You: Hey, hey, kids. How about lowering your voices and going back to your seats with your parents.

Kid: Hey, hey, pops. How about frick you.

It's better to make them calm down (unless we're talking about an infant) and teach them that they're not always going to get what they want. Than to stop doing what you want for the sake of their bad little asses.


If you you are dealing with kids who can comprehend what you’re asking of them and can speak to them calmly then yes, maybe asking them to stop would be an option but why put yourself in a situation that could escalate? I bet right now the OP wishes he just would have left.

I was there and saw you do it. The kids were littles assholes and the little blond kid was especially undisciplined. Cheers to you, man.

Just because a place is “kid friendly” doesn’t mean kids can just run around like little assholes.. sorry I yelled at your kids. Someone has to discipline them
