Kid blowing bubbles in restaurant. Mum kicked off when asked by waitress to make him stop.

[JumpsuitQ213]

A friend of mine went out for lunch with a group of mums and their kids. One of the kids (7yo) is mildly autistic and has ADHD. Goes to main stream school and to talk to him you wouldn’t know about the autism, etc. He’s no more fidgety than loads of other kids.

So in the restaurant today he pulls out bubbles and is blowing them all over the place. Popping on other people, on food, etc.

Waitress asked his mum for him to stop and mum kicked off and ripped waitress a new arsehole “for disrespecting my kid”.

I do have sympathy for kids who may struggle to behave in social situations though I admit having met this kid I don’t think he needs that much allowance made for him. I’d have more sympathy for someone with severe learning difficulties.

But surely if you can’t sit in a restaurant without popping soapy bubbles over everyone’s food then you leave?

Having paid for food in a restaurant
I would be furious if a child was blowing bubbles and the mother didn’t make him stop
Totally unacceptable

As others have pointed out there is no such thing as mild autism.

I don't care if the child has autism or not. He 100% should not be blowing bubbles over other customers trying to enjoy a meal, on the floor where waitresses are trying to deliver food without slipping or into people's food who then want to eat it!!

The mother sounds like a twat.
