"Nonstopdrivel"Screaming brats!
Wow, Packerchick would be ecstatic!

"Are you excited, or are those three screaming brats in your pocket?"

LOL.

"IronMan"So I was at a restaurant the other day, trying to enjoy my meal, when a couple that was sitting next to me, had a 2 year old that would not stop crying. Of course they did nothing to quiet their kid, and I had to sit through this for about 10 minutes before i finally got up and left. They were getting a lot of dirty looks from people; but nobody did or said anything.

So what do you do in a situation like this? Punch the Dad in the face? Ask the waitress to throw their asses out? Throw a fit of your own and see how they like it?

Well, what do you expect? It's illegal to spank children now.
That's why we have a generation of brats.

Sorry your dinner was ruined.
It's no fun having a bad experience when you spend money.

ZS, you're such a cheesehead!

In my family growing up eating out was a reward. At home you were given "stars" for good behavior and table manners, and if you achieved five stars in a row you got pick a restaurant to go to. As far as I can remember, none of us misbehaved in the actual restaurants, but since I had 3 siblings at the time, I was never the child to garner 5 straight stars. Probably because I counted on the others to get them and take us all out :P

As far as the situation described in the OP, I would talk to the manager. Talking directly to the parents could prove costly, and as someone operating a restaurant, it's probably in your best interest to calm the children down so you don't lose any business.

True dat.
I was in a movie theater and some lady's brat kept talking very loudly the entire movie.
Several people, including my wife asked both him to stop talking and the lady to quiet her kid.

Well, after the movie was over, the brat's mother tried to cause a scene with us and the people who sat by us who also said something to the mother.

Absolutely ridiculous.
I guess the best course of action is to go to the Management and let them deal with the problem.

Yup Zombie.
Get the theater manager involved.
Eveb after the picture, i would have gone up to the manager and told him it ruined your film. I bet you would have got a couple of free tickets out of it.

"Cheesey"Yup Zombie.

Good call.
Next time I'll try that.
