So, his kid a normally functioning adult with friends and such? Just a situation where they had a peculiar way of spoiling him?

maybe the restaurant should have had a piece of paper and colors for the kid



So it's the restaurant's responsibility to provide entertainment for a two year old?

Yeah, no.

The parents should discipline their child and if necessary bring something to occupy his attention. Just because they allow their child to act like a hooligan doesn't mean the rest of us should put up with it.

Don't insult me. They're not just dog threads, they're threads discussing animals the world over. I'm far more versatile that just discussing dogs.

A 2 year old was minding his business tearing up a paper napkin for christ sake...it's not like he was dropping f bombs and spitting spit balls at Peckers fat wife

They are hurting that child whether they know or believe it. Raising a generation of kids that feel entitled and can do whatever they want will kill this country.

I was told to stop acting up, if I didn't stop, I was told that a spanking was coming.

That usually shut me up.

It's bad behavior, and it sounds like it's only going to get worse if the parents won't tell him no bc it upsets him.

Yeah, I knew exactly how far to push my parents. Once I crossed the line, there was no walking it back. If we were out, and I knew it was coming as soon as we got home, that drive home was like a death March lol

I’m guessing all of the downvotes are from the mouth breathing basement dwellers who have 0 chance of reproduction.

Picking your battles is the correct strategy. A pile of shredded napkins is a good alternative to the kid screaming.

I would immediately call Child Protective Services on these so-called Parents and have their kid taken away.

let review the situation at hand...

quote:


little dude starts tearing up napkins and throwing them all over the floor and on the table. I laugh at first waiting for them to tell him to stop but they just ignore him.



Thats what Pecker should have done...the kid was minding his own business not bothering anyone...Pecker should have just ignored him




quote:

It gets to the point where the little bastard has a small pile of trash under his chair from the napkins he's been shredding.



So what??
quote:


I get up, pick up some of the trash, walk to throw it away and then move the rest of the napkins out of his reach.


Why? It's not your business...let the kid be


quote:

Then the kid flips his shite and stars screaming.



This could have been avoided if you would have just left the kid alone...


quote:

His mom hands him another napkin and he resumes doing his thing.


Because the kid was happy being a kid


quote:

My wife was like "uhh..he's making a huge mess..."



again, who gives a frick? Clean that shite up before you leave


quote:

mfw the other chick responds, "we don't tell him 'no,' it upsets him."




I dont believe this, but even it it's true you have to pick you battles and this doesn't really seem like it was one to pick

Because having children makes one an expert on parenting. There must not be any bad parents out there. My bad


Having kids certainly doesn’t make an expert, but it does give you first hand experience with raising kids, whereas people without children obviously don’t have.

I’m willing to bet 90% of the crap people in their twenties without kids say about how they will raise their kids when they have them will not be the case in reality.

While I don’t agree with the situation you witnessed, I don’t give a shite about others’ opinions of me when I am in public disciplining my kids—parents or no parents.

A 2-year old tearing up napkins at a restaurant isn't really a big deal, but

is a much bigger problem.
