Hey all...


Did you have rules about resturants and babies? Or did you just take them everywhere?


Dh and I went to a VERY pricy resturant as a treat for ourselves a couple of weekends ago. All dressed up and having cocktails. Anyway, right next to us is a party with an 8 month old whining in a high chair. Mind you, our reservations were for 8 pm and they sat after we did.


This is incredibly rude, imo, for many reasons.


First of all, most 8 month olds are done by 8 o'clock. Secondly, there are just some resturants that are not meant for babies... a $75 dollar-a-plate resturant being one of them, imo. I do think that older

Then I guess I'm a busybody and you're not, because I can see and hear when children are NOT misbehaving just as well as I can see and hear them when they ARE, something you by your own admission elsewhere in this thread are not capable of doing right now. And that's understandable. Just don't mistake YOUR (understandable) hypersensitivity with OTHER people's lack of consideration.

Oh you are such a saint.

The rest of us who are annoyed by things just don't have any values

"I still don't take my kids out to eat after normal bedtime!" Hey, you, Felicia and I all agree on something in this thread! I don't take my kid out to eat after normal bedtime either! It's just that my son's "normal bedtime" is (and always has been) something which would be likely to give Felicia palpitations!

That is not what I said. . .I'm just trying to explain my perspective. . .call it a coping mechanism if you want to. . .

And you, my dear, are the soul of compassion.

I'm sorry, Virgo.

Virgo, I find you remarkably positive. I think a few posters are twisting what you have said. I think you are one of the most pleasant posters on this board. You are always fair in the way that you respond from what I've seen. Fwiw,Lisa
