"They don't bother me, if they are someone else's. Mine always behaved, so I've not experienced the embarrassment or stress of my child crying in public What I would have done is take it outside and try to calm it down (depending on age). If that failed I would ask for our food to be put into doggy bags, and take it home to eat. If it's in McDonalds I probably wouldn't take much notice. " | |||

" I am one such parent, my daughter has severe learning difficulties but looks perfectly normal. She has in the past had very challenging behaviour. I don't take her in eating places at present because she won't eat anything. With her going to a special school I know a lot of other children/adults with learning disabilities too. You often can't tell by looking at a child if they have a disability like for instance autism. Most people we meet in my town are fine with her, an odd few are not. But she has the right to be, out. There are a lot of kids about who are just undisciplined though. XXX | |||

" My middle son suffered brain damage when he was 4, permanent physical disabilities & some behavioural/emotional ones too. My youngest is ADHD/ASD & tbh, a bloody nightmare at times. If either of them had a meltdown or created a scene we'd be out of there like a shot. I would not wish to ruin anybody else's day/night out. They've possibly paid for a babysitter or having a rare day when the grandparents are at hand, they don't need my kids spoiling their own child free time | |||

And I made the point of referring to children with a condition as it may pull people's thinking up. But parenting full stop is hard work whether the child has additional conditions or not. To be honest, I still feel that I don't know what on earth is or isn't going on for someone else and I can remove myself if I need to, if I'm aggrieved, so no -- I don't think my desire to not be near loud children in a public space is more important than their right to be there and shouldn't mean they get chucked out. | |||

"Mine just got a look when they were younger they knew not to continue whatever it was they were starting. I've never had screaming thankfully and once congratulated a poor woman for leaving a child screaming on the floor in a shopping mall. She could see the child but she was obviously distressed about leaving the child so I just had to say something. The child realised he wasn't going to get what he wanted and he wasn't being rewarded with attention for bad behaviour so got up. I even heard him apologise to Mum. Parenting is hard but unruly children in public my kids actually frown upon them. They regularly pass comment when we get home to say it wasn't appropriate. I used to use other children's bad behaviour in public to show them what wasn't acceptable. Although you can avoid the potential for screaming with younger ones to a degree. Make sure they aren't hungry or tired and take things to occupy them. Don't make them sit for an hour while you select food and wait for it to arrive. But sometimes nothing will work, that's kids, not sure about chucking out " I agree with all this, especially taking something to occupy them. It's mean to expect a young child to entertain themselves while shopping or waiting for food. It's boring enough for adults! So many parents ignore their kids, looking at their phones etc. Talk to them. Play a game. Teach them how to be sociable. | |||

"i think it's very important for children to be able to eat out in restaurants, pubs etc to become socialised...and being socialised means learning to be aware of others, be aware of what is or isn't acceptable behaviour..so it really annoys me when you see parents who allow their kids to misbehave in public as if it's other people's problem to deal with. It's ignorant,selfish and really unhelpful to raise kids to think that the best way of getting what they want is by screaming at someone until they give in....and yes,i'm perfectly aware no -one can stop a child from the occasional meltdown either..but have the good manners to remove them and deal with it elsewhere."

"I dislike kids- but they are everywhere now - what happened to leave kids at home with babysitter" I agree. Obviously in day time me and the ex took our kid to a place that was kid friendly, which meant there would be other kids there. On an evening or night time we would get a babysitter or take him to my mums and we would go places where kids weren't allowed so we could have some peace | |||

"This rule does not apply between the age of 2 1/2 to 4. They never effing listen anyway so expect it. My son is almost 2 almost 3 and he's a good lad. If I tell him no to something he wants he'll sulk and lay down but he's never thrown a tantrum no matter how tired he is or how much he wants it. I'm lucky that I feel comfatable taking him anywhere. But there's still a few years for that to happen so I'm fully aware it's coming Teenagers...a whole new ball game" I'm dreading it and looking forward to it at the same time, if he keeps going like he is he'll be a good lad, but who knows what the hormones will do | |||

I agree with the first part re it being something for children to learn (being aware of others). I disagree with the part where everyone seems to forget that part now they're the adults -- judging others and criticising others from afar, not because they're bothered about the child's future development but because their meal is being disturbed. Anyone actually checking in with the parents in a nonjudgmental way and helping those that don't understand the socialisation bit, or helping out the overwrought parent who may be struggling? And if you're not prepared to do that...well why should anyone else have to be prepared to do owt for you? | |||

"NO. they are CHILDREN FFS. Throw the parents out for not being able to control their children. Any dumb nut can have a child but not every person can raise one. It's the parents fault not the child's." Just a slight point of order, if you keep throwing all the parents out you could end up with a lot of children! Possibly best to throw them all out together | |||

"I wonder about those parents that perhaps have children with a learning difficulty or condition that may mean they're less able to correct, prevent or end their child's behaviour if a meltdown is incoming. I wonder if there's a little compassion there for them, and their right to be in a public place. Shrugs. I am one such parent, my daughter has severe learning difficulties but looks perfectly normal. She has in the past had very challenging behaviour. I don't take her in eating places at present because she won't eat anything. With her going to a special school I know a lot of other children/adults with learning disabilities too. You often can't tell by looking at a child if they have a disability like for instance autism. Most people we meet in my town are fine with her, an odd few are not. But she has the right to be, out. There are a lot of kids about who are just undisciplined though. XXX" This. I have two children with learning disabilities and they don't look any different to any other 'normal child' it can be really hard at times when we are out together and they are acting up (arguing and fighting) they are teens now and it's hard to explain that they may look the age they are but maturity wise they aren't and act a lot younger. | |||

I wonder if there's a little compassion there for them, and their right to be in a public place. Shrugs. I have a degree of empathyfor people whose children have a meltdown, been there myself & it can be hideous when all eyes are on you, judging how you're going to handle the situation. If I couldn't placate my child in a timely manner I would remove myself and them from the table until they had calmed down enough to return. But there are some people who will not (under any circumstances) parent their offspring, they just simply carry on regardless of others. I get that. And I made the point of referring to children with a condition as it may pull people's thinking up. But parenting full stop is hard work whether the child has additional conditions or not. To be honest, I still feel that I don't know what on earth is or isn't going on for someone else and I can remove myself if I need to, if I'm aggrieved, so no -- I don't think my desire to not be near loud children in a public space is more important than their right to be there and shouldn't mean they get chucked out. " I don't think there should be any 'chucking out' but I do believe from my own experiences that some parents are totally immune to the disturbance their kids are causing others. Kids can be a right ole handful at times there's no denying that. However, I can see the difference between someone who is actually parenting (regardless if the child has additional needs) and those who just can't be arsed. That's the point I'm making. | |||
