Also I don't have a screaming toddler, but this argument always bothers me. What about the person who can't eat if they have to look at fat people, or gay folks....etc. Slippery slope.
Eat at a place where kids don't frequent, I mean if you're at Sixth and Main I get it. But when you're stuffing your face with a McRib, it just doesn't fly.
Are their views acceptable?
Wow Racist much? That's like saying the same thing about breastfeeding which I find nasty as ****. But as some them women said and since they're going to use that term. If you don't wanna see, don't look. Just because were in a family environment, doesn't mean you can't teach your kids to have some manners around their surroundings. As I said, it's a shame adults can't have a huge tantrum. I would laugh my head off if a whole group or everyone in a joint started crying all at once. You might be able to tune out the sound of your kids needs. But can you tune out the sound of a grown man and women and other people screaming and crying for you to be a parent?
Caja, thank you for being the voice of reason among these gosh darn saintly parents whose children never misbehave... NEVER!
Honestly, I never intended to champion this cause but it happened so I'm sticking to the course
Hangs, get over yourself already.
Pollock I could say the same to you, get over yourself.
This isn't personal, you all are just taking it personally. We have every right to say "we don't want to be around screaming kids". I've never told a parent to handle their kid while in public. Parenting is hard, so that's why I don't understand why certain parents want to make it even harder.

1st - I don't eat at McD.
2nd - I never said kids can't eat out, but if you know your child gets grumpy if they miss their bedtime, then why take them out after their bedtime. That's all I'm saying. A child sitting and sitting quietly or even laughing and playing at the table doesn't matter one bit to me.
3rd - Shopping emergency was a joke. That's my point. Unless one absolutely must be out with a tired grumpy kid then why do it. Save everyone the headache including yourself.
I think there are some really defensive parents on here that can't see another point of view.

And neither is your child. I get that things happen and kids crying. Crying isn't really an issue, but when they are screaming for long period of time, maybe it is time to put the shopping cart away and re-evaluate the situation. Children should be what is important and not shopping (unless some sort of shopping emergency).
Nope. If you know as a parent that your child gets nasty if they miss their nap, then make sure they nap. This is not rocket science. It saves everyone, including your child, a lot of grief. Now there are always exceptions.
My sister-in-law will not vary her kids sleep routine. She said she doesn't for her sanity and the kids. I've known them, when travelling, to drive an extra 30+ minutes just so the kids will get their naptime if they are in the car. Her dream is to one day be able to go out to dinner with the kids past 6:30 but currently that dream is on hold because bedtime is 7:30.
Exactly. And, no, I don't understand the people who have their tired, small children out at a restaurant at 9 or 10 at night. It's not fair to expect them to act appropriate and not fair to the other patrons.
Oh bull shirt, I agree with emglitter on this one. Don't take your kids out at nap time or bedtime, it's not fair to the kids or the people around you
now now hangs, what about folks who are on the road traveling for whatever reasons or just going to grandma's house...let me say this again...none of us know why the mom was out with her kids school shopping during her toddlers naptime...we don't know her circumstance or her situation at the time that she was out. And frankly, school shopping at the family dollar sounds like more of a have to situation than a want to situation...
of course it make good sense for all involved to avoid these situations when possible...but sometimes life gives us peace and quiet while shopping and sometimes life gives us screaming kids...it just is what it is~!!!

Guess what? Everybody goes "mama bear" . I didn't attack your kin...i questioned your parenting skills and attitude in general...i guess your intelligence too
