>bringing young children anywhere

When people have children they should just kill themselves and their children because we don't want people like that around.

It's the only time I've encountered that a restaurant has paid compensation for someone else being a disturbance, but I didn't mind.

>Bringing kids into a public space should be forbidden

Yes, let's make kids even less sociable so they'll all be ipad adhd spergs that has no notion of their surroundings at any given time when they grow up because they only go to interact in their home environment.

Of course they are annoying but I don't think you know what you're asking for in the long run.

I can tell most of your parents never took you people anywhere and that's why you are all socially retarded. I have taken my 1 year old to some of the best restaurants in the area. Some that didn't even have high chairs and she is great at going out. Loves to try all the foods. Sorry you think people who have kids need to stay shut in

If your child can behave (ie. not be a screaming filthy brat) then there's no problem, but most parents that are seen "parenting" simply don't do what you should; teach your kids to be conscious, proper beings and not let them become carbon waste.
I am happy if your child is indeed behaving the way she is. Hope you have a good relationship.

What a cool opinion

It depends on the kind of restaurant. If it's a Denny's or something I don't care, but "fine dining" establishments should have an ages 12+ policy. I went to an upscale place and the next table had their crib lizard there screeching all through dinner. If you can afford to go to a place like this you can afford a babysitter. Don't ruin everyone else's evening, we are paying a lot of money for this.

I never went back to that restaurant, and anything like that happens at another upscale restaurant I will walk out.

>>10805538
If you ever lose your virginity you might change your mind. giving your child new experiences is what parenting is about

>>10804607
Unironically true.

>>10805559
Woudln't you socialize your kid at less upscale restaurants first? Who, other than inept idiots, brings their kids to a nice upscale restaurant without knowing they can behave first? Once your kid can eat at Denny's or McDick's without acting up THEN you take them somewhere nicer.

>>10805585
>My daughter did great in some of my cities best restaurants so I don't know what the fuck you are on about
Well then obviously we're not talking about you or your daughter, are we? Clearly if your daughter can behave then you're not part of the problem we're discussing.

>>And most people are genuinely happy to see a toddler out having fun,
Lolno. Everyone hates ill-behaved children unless we're talking inept parents and their own ill-behaved children.

>>there are a few tards who let it ruin their experience.
You act like it's a "choice". How is that possible? If I'm enjoying a nice dinner with business contacts or my wife and some kid starts screaming and throwing shit what exactly am I supposed to do about it? It's not like I have a mental switch that I can flip and make it magically OK. The only practical choices I have are to either put up with the shrieking or I can leave.

>>10805665
>>10804576
>Bringing young children to a restaurant


It's right in the OP. It doesn't say bringing poorly behaved children he just paints all children with a broad brush.

>>10805665
>The only practical choices I have are to either put up with the shrieking or I can leave.
I've went up to talk to the parents of bothersome children a few times when I've dined, asking them politely if it'd be possible to take the child outside to calm down or something other.
3 out of 5 times I've done this it has resulted in a positive outcome, though the first time it nearly resulted in an unpleasant confrontation with the father (totally my fault since I did behave a bit unpleasantly in hindsight).

One other thing I've done is if there's a kid nearby that's acting out I try to get it's attention by singing/humming a song/lullaby. It's been suprisingly effective thus far to calm them, but I've only done it with toddlers so maybe it's not that effective with older kids.

If some creep started singing a lulliby to my child I would put his pedophile ass on blast and rek his shit

>>10805688
Notice that I didn't reply to OP, I was talking about ill behaved children only.

I don't have a problem with children in restaurants in general, only the ill-behaved ones. I think most parents are pretty good about this. They might bring their young kids to, say, a fast food place but they generally know better than to bring them to a fine dining establishment. I've got no problem with that. but fact is that some parents do bring ill-behaved kids to nice places, and that's wrong IMO.

>>10805692
3 out of 5 seems like pretty bad odds to me. Sure, you could ask a parent if they could control their kid but I think these days that's asking for trouble. The sort of parent who doesn't notice or doesn't care about their ill behaved kids is probably not the sort who would take those kinds of comments well.

>>10804699
>>I ask for the check myself after a few minutes and when I see the receit there's an 'compensation for disturbance' write off of 3 euros.
>It's the only time I've encountered that a restaurant has paid compensation for someone else being a disturbance, but I didn't mind.
That was thoughtful management. They didn't ask that family to leave to escalate it, but the recognized some good move on their part might make you more willing to return to their restaurant. I'd be pretty loyal to a restaurant run with a gratefulness to the guests. Kudos!

>>10805712

I would have put this on facebook, tripadvisor, yelp and the like, as a bad review. That's just really wrong.

>>10805716
>3 out of 5 seems like pretty bad odds
Well the two times it didn't go so well were the first two, the first going badly and the other just not amounting to anything.
It just takes a bit of practice to learn how to communicate these matters in a wise, calm and polite manner.
Sure, there's a risk of people not appreciating it, but it's a risk I'm willing to take.
Better to risk trying things out and learn how to communicate in a way that can lead to desireable outcomes than to live in fear of the consequences of doing anything.

>>10804897
>Common sense? On 4chan?
I have three kids, and i'm often on edge when we eat out at sit down restaurants since I don't want to be seen as "those parents" that let their little monsters run wild in public, screaming and hollering. They aren't too bad, all in all, but you are right in that its a learning process for them becoming socially acceptable.

>>10804965

>>10805712
Here’s an idea: every restaurant without a 12+ policy gets a staff pedo who has free license to fuck disruptive children. That would give parents an incentive to solve the problem themselves in a very big hurry.

>>10804897
Kids dont need to be a social setting 24/7 to be social. They were at school for half their fucking day. If you have to eat out and want to bring kids along bring them to a family friendly place, otherwise schedule for someone to watch them when you want an occasion with just the two of you.

>>10804901
Isn't it illegal for a restaurant to charge for water in the U.S. unless its bottled or flavored stuff?

>>10805692
If the parent becomes confrontational you can just keep pressing the issue until he lays hands on you then sue for a cool million and ruin their family, hopefully preventing any further unruly children from them.

>work at an expensive date night 4-course spot

>family brings in fucking toddlers
Sorry not sorry - be fucking considerate. Everyone around you is paying $80/head to enjoy a nice evening out and you're going to ruin it for MANY people with your horrible screaming children? If you can't raise kids to be well-behaved and sit the fuck still, then you don't deserve to enjoy a night out with your family at a nice place. Stick to a McDonald's with a ball pit if you raise your children to act like tiny niggers.

I feel so bad every time a really nice couple has their evening ruined by white trash who think that their kids have the right-of-way at life. News flash, breeders: No one gives a shit about your genetic material. The only kid I like is a quiet one. I never would have screamed or got up to run around in a restaurant because I was raised right and my ass had the fear of God beat right into me. What is wrong with parents today?

>>10805901
I fucking love kids (inb4 pedo joke), I just don't like the ones kicking and screaming the table next to me.

>>10806410
I agree about the 24/7 point, but how do you expect kids to know how to behave in a restaurant if you never take them out to one? That's how you end up with spergs on this board with such bad social anxiety they can't even talk to a waiter or clerk without flipping out.

Socializing kids means exposing them to a variety of different environments: restaurants (including nice ones), museums, concerts, etc. Not to mention dealing with people in everyday situations: doctor's office, post office, grocery shopping, gov't matters (paying taxes, registering your car, etc.), dealing with contractors, etc.

>>10806464
You wait until they're 5 or 6, dummy

A baby who is too young to understand "quiet down or we're leaving" is too young to be allowed into a restaurant

>>10804576

>>10806464
>how do you expect kids to know how to behave in a restaurant if you never take them out to one?
By listening to their parents and behaving as they are told the first time...?
I honestly don't understand how a parent will sit through a meal repeatedly telling their spoiled brat kid to be quiet and just sit there as the kid disobeys them and bothers the people around them. For hours, they just sit there and pretend it isn't happening.

I've taken my toddler to a lot of nice places. The key is to go in between lunch and dinner. 3-4 pm so the place is dead. You can get in and out quick and there is nobody to bother.

>>10806464
By being a parent both at home and in public? Why is there a different set of rules for each place?

>>10806464
You should also have them in the bed with you while you fuck your wife, wouldnt want to raise a future incel would you?

>>10806515
>A baby who is too young to understand "quiet down or we're leaving" is too young to be allowed into a restaurant

Oh, I agree. Take them to the restaurant after they've learned that. And by "the restaurant" I mean a fast food shithole. Once you know they can behave then you can go to nicer places.

>>10806529
>By listening to their parents and behaving as they are told the first time...?
Again, agreed. But it's not just about obeying the parents and being quiet. It's also about learning and understanding how different social situations, like restaurants, work.

>>10806567
>Why is there a different set of rules for each place?
I didn't mean to imply there should be a difference. I'm not sure where you're getting that from. I am not advocating bringing ill-behaved kids to a restaurant. But I am advocating bringing them to a restaurant *once they learn to behave*.

>>10805575
Come on down to Brooklyn. People will straight up let their kids come and take food of your plate.

>>10806454
This is so weird. I've never seen a single kid bein parented by an iPad use headphones. They're always blasting full volume.

>>10804965
I'm sure you've never had an annoying kid with shitty parents around in public before in any situation or location. Also, before they can walk they're literally easier to take care of than a dog.

>>10806464
You dont need live experience to teach people common sense courtesy. Just tell you kids how to act. Then start going with then once they're old enough to understand that acting like a retard wont get them anywhere in life. Like age 10+ or so.

>>10804653
Life is just a series of people getting in your way.

>>10806455
>What is wrong with parents today?
They were raised by parents that overvalued everything they did, no matter how trivial the accomplishment, and as a result, the children have become parents that feel that they are always right in what they do, and have no consideration for others.
