babies in restaurants

I can't understand the logic in taking a little one out for evening meals when
he should be at home tucked up asleep,I,m sure that the person's concerned
could have popped into any famous foodhall and bought say meal for 2 +
bottle of wine and sat in and enjoyed the food and enjoyed a peaceful,
relaxing evening.So selfish to the child and other relatives I think.

Family lunch in a restaurant is one thing and if you get them into training early enough on how to behave in such places it can be a jolly event...but an evening meal is for grown-ups (this is denoted by the behaviour of the person not their age). Babies however, should be tucked up in bed! Nothing worse than an over tired baby and to be quite honest its bordering on un-kindness to them.

I confess to being slightly child-unfriendly after a certain hour. I think this was an appalling breach of courtesy, common sense and even cruelty. I'm surprised somebody didn't make a fuss.

The poor little baby should have been in bed, that's probably the reason he was screaming.Surely one set of the adults could have stayed behind, or the parents got a baby sitter.

Selfish and thoughtless ---- a child of that age should be tucked up in bed . If they can afford a meal in an expensive restaurant , they can surely afford a baby sitter . I'm old fashioned , I believe in early bed -times .
