throbber Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Still living in the fast lane m9? Kudos.Well it’s not just as easy for us to “hire a babysitter” if we want to go out as a poster has earlier suggested so we usually take her somewhere like that where it’s not too claustrophobic and is child friendly. We’re going out to a Thai place in Elgin tonight and not taking the child with us though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Well it’s not just as easy for us to “hire a babysitter” if we want to go out as a poster has earlier suggested Yeah.... Same boat for the vast majority, yet some of the stuff spouted in this thread has been very simplistic and lacking context. The types that go on about how they didnt get phones and tablets never seem to consider the fact that phones amd tablets werent available. Also amazing that they can look back and effectively evaluate the impeccable behaviour of their 5 year old selves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus his original moan was about toddlers who aren’t old enough to be reasoned with yet in any case. What a monumental c**t. I hope he goes up to a family at a restaurant and suggests they play with their child rather than put something on their phone as the noise is ruining the dining experience for others, I’m sure it would go down a treat! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Families with young kids should go to family appropriate places IMO. There are of course a lot of restaurants that dont allow kids anyway. But the places you mentioned for example, or the type of places I will take my kids like Brewers Fayres or Frankie and Bennys, I will try to make them behave obviously but they dont always listen to me or their mum. This is because they are small children.If you go without kids to somewhere that encourages families, then you can fucking suck it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair all the places you mentioned are fairly child friendly and it would be perfectly acceptable for your child to be colouring in or doing whatever, I wrongly thought we were talking about places for a nice meal. If kids piss you off then places family's go to are best avoided or just go there later when toddlers are asleep 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aufc Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Parents who put Peppa Pig or whatever on their phone and prop it up for a toddler to watch in the middle of a restaurant. Social workers should be on patrol and armed so that they can dispatch these utter wasters and then hand the child over to adopters.I agree with this. I hate seeing a kid plonked down in front of an i pad in a restaurant. If you cant be fucked conversing with your kid then what is the point of going out with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Used to go to places like F&B’s with the kid and she’d be fine as they’d have colouring in kits, activity sheets, stickers etc. So long as I could get a swift four or five Stellas the other nippers in the place could cause all the chaos they wanted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
