Noisy children in restaurants

[TimberWolf]

Last time I flew there was a young child (I'd be guessing the age if I said less than one, still in nappies etc) in departures who was making an awful racket, crying. I'm sure kids that age can produce sounds of a louder volume than adults, and I was thinking it would be typical if that child were to be sat near me in the plane. Anyway, as it turned out I was spared, although the awful din was plenty loud enough from the other end of the plane, all the way through the flight.

Kids cry. It's a fact of life. You might as well complain that you don't like the colour of the sky.

Okay, you get the seat next to the crying kid.

That would be my seat then.

I feel sorry for men in childless couples because, for whatever the reasons, you know people are looking at them and thinking "Jaffa?"

I'll take my children to any restaurant I want to, regardless.

But I expect them to behave (which they do), so have no problem with it.

If children cannot behave, then they shouldn't be there.

I'm really looking forward to taking my two to America this summer.

They can make as much noise as they want on the plane - I'm paying for a business class ticket for them, they can do what they want!

Absolutely and it's the parents that're responsible for teaching the children how to behave and making sure they don't irritate other people.

The cruelty of it. Making them slum it in Business Class while you quaff diet coke in First Class. You're lucky I don't call social services...
