    People when kids screech at a restaurant: ‘Must be shitty parents.’

    People when kids run around at a restaurant: ‘Must be shitty parents.’

    People when kids use an ipad at a restaurant: ‘Must be shitty parents.’

    There’s no winning here. Children just aren’t allowed to exist.

    We are the exception because we most definitely weren’t like that at all as a kid. /s

      It’s when it’s A, B, then C with subway surfers on full blast for the rest of the meal then yeah the vibe sucks and I wish I wasn’t sitting near your kid.

      #2 is shitty parenting. Kids running around a restaurant puts them and staff in dangerous situations with hot food and steak knives etc

      I’m guessing it’s because the perception of people who don’t have kids have the thought “every time I’m in a restaurant I see kids on their parents phone/ipad so that must be what they do 24/7”, and I’m totally guilty of that too. Once I had a kid, I think me and my partner had a pretty good no screen time rule but when we wanted to go out to eat at a restaurant that rule was relaxed not just for us but for everyone else as well.
