        And before somebody throws out the caricature of the parent just letting their kid run wild, yes of course that happens. But most parents don’t want that and are trying their best

        The examples you’ve dismissed are what this entire conversation is about. You’ve dismissed the entire issue, which makes your input meaningless.

            I’m talking about the op, picturing kids running around being a nuisance to the whole restaurant, which if the parents don’t do something about it then yes, shitty parenting

                    You literally know nothing about me outside of a few sentences

                    And that’s enough to detect that you are or would be a dogshit parent

                    and that is an incredibly rude thing to say.

                    It’s cute how you always try to hide behind that. Idgaf you think it’s rude, based on the garbage you’ve spewed here it’s true

                    It’s baffling to me how quickly people throw that accusation out at people.

                    You’re defending one of the most obvious examples of bad parenting as not being that, are you actually an idiot or what?

                    I get you don’t like my opinion but you don’t need to be cruel about it.

                    Its not cruel to alert you to your shitty opinions and what they mean about you, dumbass

                You’re making some broad assumptions. They don’t have to be silent, but a restaurant isn’t the place to be running around getting in servers way and disrupting other tables, and parents who let their kids do that lack discipline and are encouraging anti social behaviour

            I think both of you are talking about extremes here lol.

            One person is talking about shitty parents that refuse to correct their kids and the other about people that hate kids in general. Both can be true and annoying.

            I do agree there are some completely unhinged people/comments in the comments section here…

        The point here is that people don’t want no kids at all, just no mini-terrorists running amok.

        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.

        Kids are people. There are some annoying, there are some nice, overall they’re okay. If a person wouldn’t say “I laugh when adults get hurt because adults annoy me just by being adults”, then they shouldn’t say the same about kids.

        In short, I hate people who hate kids.
