nah I just enjoy having more disposable income and free time

my sister's kids are cool but after an hour or two I'm over it. much better to just be an uncle because I can leave and go home.

If you want to bring your child with you when you go out to eat, choose some place like a diner, something like an IHOP, somewhere with a child's menu.

If I'm going somewhere more upscale with like a menu prix fixe or somewhere that's like $30+ / head, you're goddamn right I don't want any loving children in there. You're paying for both the quality of the meal and the atmosphere and screaming little shitmonsters will completely ruin that.

It's not a matter of hating children, it's just a matter of where is and isn't appropriate to bring them, and finer dining places are not them.

At fancy restaurants they let you eat before demanding any money. The foods already been eaten. Jokes on them!

I get the no kids in restaurants and movie thing;but if you have an issue with people traveling with their kids you're a stone cold idiot. I've been on well over 300 flights and i've never seen someone complain about a baby that didn't come off as a complete loser. Mocking those idiots is one of the only times i actually talk and bond with the people next to me.

complaining about it out loud does make you an idiot but being stuck somewhere with a screaming proto-retard still isnt an enjoyable experience

e: i know its not the kids fault, but lovely parents make lovely kids, and i guess im talking more about sit down restaurants than planes

it's not like a 7 yr old is going to remember it or gain anything from it

he's not a toddler, seven year olds do form memories and gain things from stuff. he'll be eight then.

You'll reach a point where you find you're not enjoying the experience yourself because one of you has to keep stopping and starting conversations and eating to attend to the child. Parents who don't take their kids to adult focused venues make that choice more for their own benefit than out of consideration for other guests. If you're going to blow a couple of hundred bucks on going somewhere nice for dinner, you don't want to feel like you you were too busy parenting to enjoy it.

Babies are usually fine. It's once they get to the age where you can't really keep them strapped in a stroller for a couple of hours that it becomes an issue. They're too young for passive amusement like an iPad and their tolerance for sitting still is pretty low (as is their ability to wait for the food).

also if youve done your job as a parent correctly up to this point, and also plan ahead, a 7 year old is totally fine

if youre a fuckup parent and you didnt plan ahead, your 7 year old is a worse terror than the screaming baby because at least the baby isnt saying gently caress every 2nd word

yeah next time i see a dad with a bawling kid in public and we make eye contact i'll definately be thinking "man that dude must be so stoked how hard he's owning everyone right now" and then the cool dad will go home and have a peaceful evening in which he probably doesnt drink to excess and strike his wife.

You've obviously never had someone decide to change their toddler's poopy diaper on the tray table behind you in flight. Some people are really goddamn stupid.

You're right. Never seen that level of inconsiderate behaviour.Mostly old men trying to shush a baby crying when it's ear pressure builds up as if it understands and can react to it.

When the waiter comes over and asks you to leave, will you suffer the indignity in silence and just go or will you throw a tantrum even louder than your infant's?

Because the second option would definitely be a great way to own everyone else even harder.


Also when your kid is able to talk and ask for things, be sure to never respond definitively until they start crying and screaming, then give in and do whatever they want. Train that kid into an attitude of constant whining and a hair-trigger meltdown response. This is a great way to troll the world no matter where you are, be it the grocery store, a sports game, or just your local park. You can look forward to a decade or more of sour looks!

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH
I'm down with no kids under 4 if you're at a nice place. My kids were awful at restaurants until they hit about 4 or 5. After that, they were cool. They're 7 and 8 now and never cause trouble at restaurants or movies.

However, I must say that I haven't been bothered by kids in restaurants for years. I'm guessing that being a parent makes you numb to the constant whining.

I honestly would be fine if a woman actually gave birth to a squalling screaming slimy baby on a table next to me and the mucous-like membrane it is covered in flies off of it and into my water because I realize its not the 50s anymore and men don't have to wear a suit all the time and women don't have to wear dresses and societal standards have evolved.

Is this "they're cool/never cause trouble" by your standards or by the standards of a person not accustomed to children screaming and running around from the time they wake up until they go to bed?

I knew a mom who used to let her kid lick the ketchup bottles and would just put them back at the end of the meal.
Her reasoning was 'I've tried to teach him it's bad, but he still does it' so she just gave up.
