ThanksIs it rude to ask a parent to control thier child's behavior in public.?
Just say ';I respect you have your rights as well but can you please get her/him to stop banging the table and respect my time here as well';Is it rude to ask a parent to control thier child's behavior in public.?
Its so hard to be a parent %26lt;SIGH%26gt; peopel get aggravated because we dont do somethign abotu it in public and others get aggravated and call it abuse when we do. Im not saying this to be ugly to you, just in hopes that you will uinderstadn what a nasty position ANY parent is in anywhere. Personally, I will discipline in public if necessary. My job is to raise my children not to worry about hurting someone elses feelings. I agree with you, but its not alwasy that simple.
Who cares? They'll leave soon enough.
Just stand up and point at the parents of the awful child and in a loud voice ask them why they have such a horrid child. Embarrass them. That will make them either leave or control the crumbcruncher.
Yes, it is, but sometimes it has to be said.
Wew! I understand! I wouldn't say it's rude but you will open a can of worms by speaking out. It could come across as offensive-like bad parenting...(which very well may be the case) If you do though, just be on your way out the door! Me personally, I'd just leave-doesn't seem fair but hey
You personally do not need to approach the mother. She is quite aware of her child's behavior. The best way is to call over the restaurant manager and ask the person in charge to speak to the parent. Perhaps they can take the child outside for 2- 3 minutes and return. Or ask for a seat change. It is frustrating, but also keep in mind the establishment you are currently dining in. If you are a fast-food or very casual child-freindlyplace, well expect kids being kids. They are loud-I know- I have a 2 year old. I am also mindful of my surroundings and if I need to temporarily excuse myself with my son I will.
I think it depends on how disruptive the child is being. If I get by one that is truly driving me crazy I asked to be moved away from the disruption.
just ask the waiter to ask the parents to get there children to sit at the table as it is distracting other customers
Well the way I see it. If the child is aggrivating you and not the parents, then it's you with the problem and you should probably be the one to leave. It is so embarassing to get ';the look'; from someone when I have my 2 year old and my 7 mo old in a restaurant or somewhere. Kids cry. Kids have tantrums. Of course you do all you can to stop them, but sometimes you can't.
I think that you should just try to ignore it in my opinion. I know if it were me I'd be embarrassed to death already without someone else making a scene over it. It's not like they don't know their child is acting up. I'm sure they are well aware without you saying anythin LOL.
It's very rude. Most parents (I know not all) will remove their child when they are acting psycho. If they are ignoring the behavior it is typically a tactic to not give the bad behavior any attention. Parents do like to leave the house on occasion. We never know when our kids might go totally ape sh*t. Honestly. We wish it wasn't happening as well. You won't really understand what I'm talking about until you have a kid of your own. It might be frustrating but welcome to the service industry. If it's not something you think you can deal with, get another job.
I know it is frusterating, but try to think of this. We have an autistic 10 year old. Especially when he was younger he would have ';melt downs'; depending on the situation, or something as seemingly simple as the lighting or background music. It was clearly not either his or our fault, but people said some nasty things to us. Sometimes he just talked to loud.
You need to be sensitive to people . Some people do allow their kidos to act crazy, but most parents do not!!! Most parents simply are doing what is best for their child or family. Also the majority of autistic kids don't have an outward ';tell'; that they are autistic. You have no idea if the kid has special needs or not. Offer them a sympathetic smile and that will go much farther. (If their kid is just being loud and has no needs the smpathetic smile might allert them to the fact that their child is bothering others.)
Hope this helps
I know how you feel...and believe me, the parents feel the same way...they just wish the kid would stop. They also don't want to make a big scene reprimanding their child in public. It's easy to say what you would do if you were a parent, it's harder to actually do it. My children scream all through the grocery store, and I ignore them the whole time. I know this sounds bad, but they will not get attention for these actions, and soon they will stop, cause nobody cares. I got kicked out of the public library, cause I was in college, and had to look for a couple of books for school, and my son threw a fit. It is totally embarassing for a parent when a child acts this way. Don't make it worse for them.
It might be ';rude';, but who cares? If the child was bothering me, I would say something myself. I've been to plenty restaurants where this has happened. One time, a kid screamed and screamed for some coke. Her mom kept saying no, until it got on her nerves and she finally said ';FINE!'; It's ridiculous.
If it's bothering you, say something. I would. I'd tell them to either take their brat somewhere else or get them to be quiet. Because I guarentee you. No one there wants to hear them doing that.
Is is very hard to bring your child out to public resaurant I try to avoid it at all costs but if there is a family function or something you have to do it. I would be very upset if someone said something to me. I would not say anything it would make the situation worse it's already hard enough.
