Screaming children (58)
It seems that people are too politically correct to vote. I love kids; it's just if I go to a restaurant it really spoils the meal if there is a table with kids really SCREAMING. The parents really should have some control or go as it's unfair to the other people in the restaurant. You agree?

Children are a reflection of their parents until they are old enough to be held responsible for their own actions. I would tell the waiter, leave and call the restaurant manager... maybe even name the restaurant on Yelp.
In the good ol' you could tell the parents. But now days, adults fear backlash. An 'offending' is an excuse
I voted on your poll. To hell with PC.
I also listed screaming children on my poll, "Sounds That Make You Cringe"

I voted get up and go, and I'm not afraid to say I would... I won't have my time spoilt by the plague of casual parenting that facilitates this behavior... I'm not saying it's the kids fault, bucause a responsible parent would make an effort to control the situation... Take any fast food outlet, and that's fair game, it's core clientele is supported kids, and noise comes with the territory...coolo...
A planned night out in a restaurant with friends / famy / date should have the entitlement to being civilized and measured...
I'd be an advocate of adult only eateries...and I'd pay for the pleasure of it...
You're damn right, political correctness has shut down common sense and common decency and the right to reply...
Good thread topic, let's hope it encourages debate...

First I would approach the parents then I'd speak to management.

You really don’t know why the kids is screaming in the first place it could be many reasons, if the manager not saying anything so why should that parent have to leave when she payed her money like everybody else, that’s her right unless the manager willing to reimburse her------ This poll is Archived ------
I couldn't care less how much the parents of the screaming kids paid for their meal they should be told to keep their screaming kids quiet or leave the diner.

Packersbabe1: It doesn’t matter what restaurant they are at, the parent still payed there money, unless it a sign on the door saying no kids aloud, and it wouldn’t bother me if the child is hollowing I know how to ignore
Well, we live in a democracy and you are perfectly entitled to your view but I'd suggest we come from different cultures. In MY culture it is really frowned upon to allow children to behave badly in a 'posh' restaurant and a good establishment would have 'quiet words' with the people concerned and ask them to leave if they didn't control the situation. THEY DO NOT NEED A SIGN........just as there is no need to put up a sign telling people not to piss on the floor. Some restaurants won't allow children under a certain age and therefore might have a discrete sign to save gently turning people away but then many people don't read that good. In some restaurants you can get thrown out by the chef/owner because you have dared to complain about the food - in that case the screaming kid is in the kitchen!
In fact it is not pleasant to have kids screaming even in a fast food chain but as you are only there to shove food down your gob and leave a.s.a.p. it's no big deal.

I understand what you are saying, It wouldn’t bother me, like you said we all have different opinion not here to debate

Thanks. But I also think we ARE here to debate and exchange views. I respect your views even though I beg to differ!
Just don't bring your screaming kids into the restaurant where I'm eating!

If I ever saw a single parent struggling when the child was throwing a tantrum whilst drinks and food were flung to the floor..I would get up and go help that parent..I would clean the floor instructing them not to worry just concentrate on their child.
Suppose to help people or at least be patient instead of worrying about your own guts.
Now I understand why America is so farked up..Can't blame it all on Trump.

I know you wouldn't make the parents feel uncomfortable 
I've always had a knack of zoning out..All I know is I love my food too much to leave

Its a part of life and quite normal. Annoying as it is, you have to accept it and realize that the parents are probably feeling lower than you can imagine for letting their kids cause such a disturbance.

I can zone out almost anything but that....at least if it keeps up for awhile......I've always had a knack of zoning out..All I know is I love my food too much to leave

The only time I sometimes come across screaming kids is when I'm doing my groceries.
I'm not into eating out..When I go out with my gym gals we usually eat at home before we meet up.

This is what I was trying to say merc....to make my problem the parents problem would just be trying to control my environment and those around me who are in it....the dislike here would be mine and anything short of me leaving would be making my problem other peoples.....

Let your children run wild and free in Mcdonalds - you can be your natural, lazy and default self in Mcdonalds. There's nobody to impress and no intention of making a better life for your kids in Mcdonalds.
In a fancy restaurant things different and be your best self takes over. Too much time, money and effort has gone into that food, you can't just throw it at the wall.

I reckon that's the bottom line - well said! In a fancy restaurant things different and be your best self takes over. Too much time, money and effort has gone into that food, you can't just throw it at the wall.

If your child needs food, why would you take them to McDonald's?

I'd throw a sympathetic glance at the mother or father and just remove myself from the situation.
One noise that annoys me is that of a spoilt child not gettind their own way.
I don't know how hard it is to discipline or raise a child so would be wrong to comment on it....but if my necessary or nephews were ever in my care and acted like that then I would drop what I had bought and remove them from the premises and give them a talking to in my car.

How you complain changes too. In Mcdonalds you can sit there like Putin giving the father of the family evils. Intimidation is the rule where there are no rules, but that's not how to complain in polite society.

Not every parent is blessed with a calm and well behaved kid...
But every parent knows their child and can predict a potential disaster happening in the wrong place...and react accordingly...
Nobody has to put up with it, no matter how polite and understanding people may be...

Well, what can I say? I knew plenty of people on benefits who fed their children on fast food - they were too 'poor' to cook any real food.------ This poll is Archived ------
I often see this and think that those children are just plain tired 
Many seem to have no routines in place .. if Mum wants to shop for hours/have coffee dates/try on clothes etc etc, babies and young children have no choice but to put up with it
Take them home and let them have the naps that little ones need, I think a lot of the screaming would subside.

I love kids the same as the next person and it is a pleasyre when you see a well behaved child in a restaurant, it is the parents faykt in their upbringing of the child. Some nationalities are better behaveed than others, the chinese are a good example. They bring up their children to be respectful. Yes the blame lies firmly with the parents.One noise that annoys me is that of a spoilt child not gettind their own way.
