Bad Manners

[DucksNuts]

Or when you are at the grocery store and your baby is crying because its tired/hungry/sick and you really need to get a few things and some old biddy body behind you is huffing and tsking because you cant stop your baby crying.

Nah, not just whining. That's not so bad. Most parents wouldn't go out to a place like that with a child who's just going to complain the whole time anyway. I'm talking about parents who take their kids to al la carte restaurants which are meant for adults (imo generally) and let them run around and do kiddy type things which, while they might be cute to the parents, can be seriously dangerous for wait staff, and seriously annoying to other diners. Particularly the ones who were considerate enough to get a baby sitter for their own sproglettes.

I knew what you meant, luvly.

I am waaaaaay too uptight with the kids at restaurants that I didnt take them when they were younger.

Actually, Im pretty strict on them in public as a rule. I dont think other people should have to hear them fighting, bitching, whining or being otherwise annoying.

Im more tolerant of other peoples kids than mine, but I swear squealing kids do my head in. I will walk out rather than put up with a squealing kid.

I pinched Addison under the bicep one day because he thought squealing in public was fun, soon changed that squeal to a squalk and when people looked they didnt know what had happened he stopped pretty quickly.
