Babies in restaurants

(1) Some restaurants are more family-friendly than others. If I have a headache and want a quieter, less interrupted discussion with my friends, I'm not going to go to Chili's or Chipotle.

(2) If the babies are happy but really loud-- like constantly letting out shrieks--that's annoying. If they're giggling at mid-volume, I think that's fine.

(3) It's actually really toddlers that are worse-- they're the ones that run around and trip people up.

I agree, too! Especially the screaming, happy baby bit. And yes, toddlers are the worse.

I still remember my mom telling us that we weren't allowed to eat out unless we practiced impeccable table manners, and I wonder why some parents think it's okay to let their toddler terrorize a restaurant.
