Opinions Please.....

Kitty and I have a local Mexican joint we frequent on the occasion for supper. They are the usual style joint with a bar and serve alcohol.

Tonight, we went and they were very busy. The whole time........from start to finish there was a very young child (probably under two) squealing, shrieking, screaming as loudly as it COULD. After about 20 straight minutes, I said "VERY" loudly.....people in the kitchen probably heard me, "That's ENOUGH of that screamin". My voice is boombing and very bass, so I know I got the point across. The screamin DRASTICALLY decreased.

So, what's your opinion here? I am of the thinking that children below a certain age, (my thinking is under 12), have no business even IN a place that serves adult beverages.

Maybe archaic thinking to some, but I believe that YOUR rights end where MINE begin. These parents were totally ignoring the child's screaming and were both tuned out on their cell phones. I don't go out to PAY for hearing a brat scream.

What say you? Was I rude? Not that I really give a crap......I'd do it again. lol

It's a parenting problem...

If my kids got too out of control, she would bring them to the car and I would settle the bill and we would leave... We were aware of not letting our kids bother others in public places... They had to learn to behave to be with us in public...

I would have yelled out to the parents to stop that kid from crying or I would give it something to cry about...
