Yeah, obnoxious people in public suck no matter their age
The examples you've dismissed are what this entire conversation is about. You've dismissed the entire issue, which makes your input meaningless.
The point here is that people don't want no kids at all, just no mini-terrorists running amok.
You can tell by how the words say exactly what they mean
I suppose we should ask you the same question. You're reading something personal into other people's words.
Yes, kids that run around and can't be quiet should be at my candlelit restaurant, at a bar where drunk people are lurching around, at a rowdy concert, unrestrained at an axe throwing place, and especially at a music/theater performance, or a funeral/religious service where their parents refuse to parent them...
Does America not have "Family Friendly" restaraunts at all? Like not "Chuck E Cheese" but casual dining for families with outdoor playgrounds or an indoor play room?
My friends and I go out EVERY SATURDAY and 6 kids in total and they know the rules "Cause a ruckus out there on the other side of the heavy windows where I can supervise but still hold a grown up conversation.
I didnt mean it like that, I legitimately dont know. I know Chuck e cheese is a thing (great play area, terrible food) high end restaurants are obviously a thing, as is family casual like TGI Fridays and chain places, but do they have playgrounds?
Its a stupidly common thing in Australia. The food is (usually) a solid 6 or 7, sometimes an 8, the bar is pretty well stocked and the play area is like an average public park. Easiest way to explain it is like a TINY casino, theres usually some function rooms, a small (or overwhelmingly large if its a predatory shithole) area with slot machines, and a restaraunt (sometimes a few) and a play area.
If I wanted to go out to eat and had to choose between Chuck E Cheese and a restaraunt where I have to spend the whole night managing my childs behavior to not upset others and those were my ONLY options without the ball ache of organising and paying babysitters. I probably wouldnt go out.
Can you read or nah?
I asked an honest question which you answered with an unrelated question, I offered an explanation and your response wasnt related to either post.
I have better things to do than try and have conversations with people who simply dont engage in a back and forth.
I misread that as "taking" and it seemed like a very specific complaint to make here.
I would imagine how justified your annoyance would be would depend on where in the restaurant it happened, heh.
I'm curious what consequences the "adults" got. Cause this really seems like something made up. But then again I remember when I was a kid and how inappropriate the adults behavior was. My bad, nevermind the beginning of this comment.
