Great. More fuel to supply self-entitled parents to bring their spawn to fine fine dining. There’s tons of CF people who would not go for that and we were represented by a guy who seemed a bit neurotic and a bad actress. Ughhhh
If it’s any comfort, I looked up the YouTube comments (just for a more well-rounded, potentially non-CF perspective) and 8/10 comments stated that it’s rude to bring a crying baby to a nice restaurant 👍🏼
Jesus fucking Christ. Then go to Cicis pizza buffet if you are okay with baby crying at dinner.
If you don't mind, your feedback would be appreciated.
As an antinatalist (obviously childfree), I agree that the actress intervenor was rude and gruff in her tone, but it's reasonable to dislike a baby's loud persistent crying. Rational adults can reasonably foresee that babies ought not be brought to quiet environments.
I'd leave the restaurant the second someone comes in with a baby/toddler. Like, fuck that shit.
I kind of lost it at the guy who said, "You'd have more dates if you liked kids." Yeah, well, she'd have more dates if she were an astronaut, too, but she's not, and she doesn't (like kids). The fact that the guy determines the actress' worth and date-ability on whether she has kids or wants kids is completely and utterly... ignorant to start.
I would also think that the people aren't being brutally honest about how they feel (like the woman with the jerk-off) because if you say that you hate kids, or you ask someone to reign their crotch-fruit in, you're just as bad as the childfree people who aren't "pulling their own weight for the world."
I'm not really confrontational about these things, unfortunately; like when I went out to dinner with my father a couple weeks ago and this woman's child kept mowing down the waitresses that were running around with fifteen plates balanced on their arms (and then the kid stuck their stupid sticky fingers on me and my stuff), I couldn't find it in me to address the mother about the fact that this behavior is not appropriate in a restaurant.
I was just talking to one of my coworkers about me (she's kind of a mombie), and she told me, "I don't care who you are, if you bring your kid to that kind of place (a nice eatery or movie theater) with your noisy, stupid kids, that's unfair to everyone else. I, as a mom, wouldn't subject anyone else to my lousy kids (if they were lousy), and I would expect the same kind of decency from other parents." (This woman is literally the best about the fact that I'm child-free, so I love getting her going about this kind of stuff; her own kids are a different story, but for the most part she's great with my feelings about kids.)
I went to lunch with my mom the other day, and groaned when I saw a couple come in with a baby. Sure enough, the kid started wailing about five minutes in.
Thankfully, the parents then asked to sit in an unused section of the restaurant and tend to their kid there. I was grateful for that. This place has excellent burgers and I guess even new parents need to get out from time to time.
