It was my DH's birthday yesterday, we went out for lunch to a Chinese restaurant, taking 6 month old DD with us. She is usually well behaved and sat fine in her highchair during our starters but started to kick off between courses and by the time our main course came she was in full on meltdown. Me and DH took turns eating and trying to comfort her, cuddling her, walking up and down and pushing her back and forth in the buggy, nothing worked for more than a couple of minutes. The whole time, we were getting filthy looks and comments from two pensioners at the next table, the man said to me at one point could you not take her outside, some of us are trying to enjoy lunch. Taking her outside wasn't really an option as it was chucking it down with rain and it wasn't like we were ignoring her and letting her cry, we were doing our best. I know it's irritating having to listen to other people's baby crying but this is advertised as a family friendly restaurant and surely if you are that precious about it you would eat at home where you are guaranteed peace and quiet.
