People who parent like this piss me off. Keep your kid in check, you are making the rest of us look bad.

If you take a little kid to a restaurant you are responsible for either entertaining them enough to sit, or taking them for a little walk during the waiting periods. If you also brought your inlaws, that walk is a win-win.

It's also a good idea to have them "help" you cut up their food, as much to keep their hands busy as to teach them how to use utensils. If you really want to stretch it out, because they eat fast and then get bored again, have them "help" cut yours as well.

I feel the same when adults are talking the most disgusting shit around me in public. They don't get the hate kids do, though.

Yeah, obnoxious people in public suck no matter their age

I misread that as "taking" and it seemed like a very specific complaint to make here.

[–] marte@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well, it has happened before, too.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I would imagine how justified your annoyance would be would depend on where in the restaurant it happened, heh.

I'm curious what consequences the "adults" got. Cause this really seems like something made up. But then again I remember when I was a kid and how inappropriate the adults behavior was. My bad, nevermind the beginning of this comment.

Kids are the fucking worst.

I was the arcade hbic at a Dave& Buster's. They usually had me scheduled by myself in the morning to get shit done without anyone around. Well we had a family group come in one afternoon, and with the arcade almost empty you can imagine what the smaller children tended to do. I told one, you need to stop running around and screaming you're going to hurt yourself. Not ten minutes later little homie ran straight in between a "hit the button as hard as you can" game and another child about twice his size.

I accept that I am a terrible person, but that shit was funny af.

While that does sound funny as fuck, at least dave and busters is that kinda place.

About kneed a small boy in the face the other day. Him and his brother were chasing each other are the store at top speed and missed me by one inch. If I had been standing still the little fucker would have lost some teeth.

Glad you sidestepped, not worth the risk of damage to your ACL

And sometimes it even has nothing to do with me sticking my foot out when they run by...........

[–] Rodneyck@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

Didn't they invent drive-thru's, takeout and DoorDash for people with kids? Ta-da!

[–] jumperalex@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

There are few worse sounds than crying and gas powered lawn tools, but I'll gladly listen to the crying for this satisfaction
