If I was enjoying a meal and a mother came in with her baby, I wouldn't care.
If the baby made a few gurgling sounds or clapped her hands, I wouldn't care.
But when a child sits at the table, banging away with cutlery, plates, toys, yells, screams, and starts wandering around the restaurant like she owns the place, I get angry.
I YELL AT THE CHILD.
If the mother thinks that her precious little baby has the disturb all the other patrons while she sits there IN SILENCE, she has another thing coming.
I cannot stand this attitude that parents cannot and will not discipline their children. You see it all the time, entire families sitting at restaurants pandering to the needs of their little 3 year old who is yelling at mum "I'm thirsty.... I want a coke... I want to go home... where's my teddy"... Meanwhile mum just sits there, silently, doing nothing.
Thankfully I've found cafes that don't tolerate children that disturb the peace for other diners.
As I said, I've got no problem with children in public, but for some reason the children here are simply intolerable.
