My kids are loud too. What keeps them from talking loudly and running around in a restaurant is me. (Why no fidgeting?) If you’ve got restaurant money but no more sanity or time, then bring them to fast food, not a nice place with social norms.
Fuck yes it’s hard. Everyone has excuses, every child is different. None of those excuses are everyone else’s problem.
When I acted up, threw a tantrum, basically disturbed the peace, my mother would get up, take me outside away from others until I settled down. Did trips to the grocery store take some additional time some days? Yeah. But I learned pretty quick.
This wasn’t some stay at home mom who had tons of free time. My mom worked 40+ hours a week, was the primary bread winner, and still did a decent job of raising me.
Fucking amen. I’ve never had issues with my kids in a restaurant because I waited until I knew they could handle it. Pretty god damned simple. Plus there’s just certain things you don’t allow like…running around unsupervised? Wtf is wrong with some people.
I can’t stand going to a restaurant and having to hear a child’s tablet playing a video.
or a movie theater…
Do kids refuse to wear headphones?
Half the electronics on sale don’t even have a audio port and you have to do Bluetooth bs.
Yeah I mean I wouldn’t buy 99% of electronics on sale anyway
Their parents don’t even bring headphones
D:
It does keep the kid from talking loudly and fidgeting and running around. But yeah if the tablet/phone is loud it’s annoying.

Narcissistic indulgences
It’s a thing that inconsiderate people and just plain bad parents do
