      It’s a thing that inconsiderate people and just plain bad parents do

      It does keep the kid from talking loudly and fidgeting and running around. But yeah if the tablet/phone is loud it’s annoying.

        My kids are loud too. What keeps them from talking loudly and running around in a restaurant is me. (Why no fidgeting?) If you’ve got restaurant money but no more sanity or time, then bring them to fast food, not a nice place with social norms.

        Fuck yes it’s hard. Everyone has excuses, every child is different. None of those excuses are everyone else’s problem.

          Fucking amen. I’ve never had issues with my kids in a restaurant because I waited until I knew they could handle it. Pretty god damned simple. Plus there’s just certain things you don’t allow like…running around unsupervised? Wtf is wrong with some people.
