Oh, it’s true. Discussion is aided by tempered speech, plus the cool down time is shorter. Try it sometime. Unless, you know, screaming fits are your thing.
As I said, making a scene is not my usual way. I don’t know how long you’ve been married, but knowing how we women tend to put up with a lot, before the straw breaks the camel’s back, you’re either married to a saint, or you’re probably in for a rather unpleasant surprise, some day.
LOL
Go to freaky places, expect freaky people.
LOL!! It would take some doing to get me into Chuck E Cheese!!!
I thought the children-haters were really only young snowflakes. You all have been smoked out of your snakeholes and sewer nests. Own up to it. Now we know who you are.
Back when I lived in Austin, Texas We used to go to The Montana Mining Company (Steakhouse) and the decorum was like being inside an old Mine. One of the signs posted inside the entrance said:
PLEASE CONTAIN YOUR CHILDREN, CONTAINERS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST! Thank You
Me too. Once or twice with my kids was more than enough. They would ask but I could tell they weren’t serious.
We have four kids, all grown now. They were expected to act well in public. Generally they did. When they were young, they ate messy as toddlers do. We made sure to leave a commensurate tip. They never were allowed to yell or leave their chairs and run around.
Can't believe I'm the first to mention this.
When we were kids, we had to behave——to go to A & W & EAT INSIDE THE CAR !!!!
But what of the impact to their future self esteem if you were wantonly allowed to stifle their creativity and self-expression at this critical point in their social development?
A couple years ago, we went to a Mexican restaurant about a mile from home. My 16 year old hates Mexican food, but since I was paying, I didn’t care.
He sat down, looked at the menu, got up and walked home.
See ya. Better that then to pout.
We did find out a couple months later that he has a chronic inflammation disease (Chrohn’s) and one of the side effects when it flares up affects the emotions, especially with younger patients. Since his treatments began, those issues have pretty much disappeared, but he still hates Mexican and I still don’t care.
I would have called the front desk and raised hell with them until they stopped the disturbance or moved them or me.
First, get the children off all the sugar and chemicals in food.
Second, use the rod (Bible): a fiberglass balloon stick; a ping pong paddle, a 3/8 inch wooden dowel rod, a wooden spoon, a long wooden old-style hotel shoe horn, etc.
Avoid hitting the head, the spine/backbone, skeletal joints. The fatty tissue of the buttocks and back of the thigh are useful for inflicting the rod——not for simple errors, or forgetfulness, etc.——but for obvious rebellion against parental authority, or lying, refusal to stop touching objects they are instructed no to touch.
At about nine months of age, or earlier, a child can be placed in a chair and trained to be still. Five minutes per day for a week. Seven minutes per day the next week. Ten minutes per day for ten days.
Soon, children will learn to sit still for one hour, then two, then three. They can be trained at home initially to be admired and even doted on by people in restaurants and waiting rooms for their good behavior.
Mine would have beat my brains out. We sat upright, stayed in our seats, ate our food and talked in normal voices. Any deviance from this behavior got you the look, a second look meant your butt was going to pay either in the restroom or when you got home with a hand, belt or switch.
My parents routinely got compliments on our good behavior in public. My wife and I have received compliments as well on our children’s behavior in restaurants.
I don’t hate children but expecting them to behave in a public setting is not too much to ask, a church, business or restaurant. I have a cousin who thinks it’s just so cute that her two year old screams and cries the entire church service and distracts the whole congregation, she just sits and grins at him and says isn’t that adorable. Finally one Sunday after thirty straight minutes of this Dr. Spock crapola my cousins mom, the grandma, got up yanked the kid out of her arms and took him to the nursery.
If he has Crohn’s that might be why he doesn’t like Mexican food.
Follow them to their car; get their license plate number. Find a shark. Sue for ruining your dinner.
At the diner, where the seats in the booths are plastic, the parents let the kids stand on the seats or otherwise put their feet on them. It is very expensive to replace those plastic covers when they tear; that’s why you see so many with tears in them at some places.
You will see them running, playing tag, crawling under tables, doting grandmothers chasing them around trying to get them to eat. I’ve even had them stop at my table and ask what I’m eating or where I’m from.
I enjoy watching little kids be little kids most of the time. But to some seniors like myself the mere sight of a small child, especially if accompanied by having-fun type noise, is a trigger.
That’s how you train a dog.
No, he’s just obnoxious that way. Hated it long before crohns kicked in.
