To be pissed off

[Mustard01]

Having nice quite drink with dh in the pub after long stressfull day at work and couple with screaming 2ish year old have sat beside us

Get up and move.

"Accidentally" throw a pint of beer all over them, so the have to leave.

• they not the

YABU they have as much right to be there as you...maybe they too have had a stressful day.

I agree with expat- move away.

Tbh I would just be like 'oh, poor little soul looks so so tired'
Make them feel a bit guilty.

Just keep giving them looks, I'm sure lots of people will be doing so. One of them should take their child outside.

Talk to your DH then and get off MN!

They really should take him outside and return only when not screaming. I don't understand people who don't do this.

Screaming, as in upset? Or screaming as in misbehaving?

If it is the first, get some empathy, if the second, YANBU.

How rude of the parents. A screaming 2 year old should be taken out or away from people calmed the brought back in.

your nerves will be jangling within the half hour

i hate that, screaming kids in restaurants and pubs

YANBU at all - its a PUB!!!

Not a child friendly cafe or kindergarten, its thanks to parents like this,who don't respect the fact that its a Pub, for adults & the landlord is doing them a big favour by letting them in with DCs at all, that DCs end up not welcome in future.

We are lucky to have a lot of DC friendly pubs near to us, but no way would I presume it was okay to allow my toddler to carry on screaming & bothering everyone else who, as its a pub, have more right to be there - I would have taken her home or to the park. Its thanks to these sorts of selfish parents that we have less child friendly pubs than we did

Pubs aren't really for children in the first place are they? I could never stand it when parents would bring a child into a pub and complain about you smoking or swearing next to their little treasure.

Dh had gone for fag that's why I'm on mn ... We have moved to other end of bar

Start swearing like an absolute trooper. 10 minutes of effing and jeffing should have them moving their little darling well out of earshot!

Children should not be in pubs, end of. There are some places that should just be for adults and it is not unreasonable for adults to want to have time with other adults without having to deal with kids screaming (for whatever reason - don't care). It makes me furious!!

Glad I'm not the only one it's a pub where most adults come for a quite drink nothing here to entertain children it doesn't serve food my children are with my mum I would never think to bring them here and disturd others.

I take my son to the pub occasionally (very accommodating village pub) but only for as long as he can manage without bothering anyone. If he makes a fuss, he is taken outside, or home if he cannot be calmed within about 30 seconds, and there is no interfering with others allowed unless they encourage him!

Whoops - posted too soon! I meant to add that it is frustrating when someone brings a screeching child in who is allowed to run around and bother others as it ends up with everyone with small kids tarred with the same brush.

When the screaming 2 year old is yours, it's great to be out and diffuse the noise/worry/childcare.

But if you want a quiet evening, you don't want a screaming 2 year old right next to you.

YANBU at all. You need to move tables.

YANBU we often go out with our baby but not this late and if he is noisy one of us will go out with him

Like you dojo we do take our children on occasion to another pub in our village that is a little more child friendly but if they are misbehaving or just not happy we will take them home

Just to add we only would do this on a sat or sun afternoon
