To be totally upset for being kicked out of pub cuz son was crying?

[monkeyfacegrace]

Ahh maybe Im being totally over sensitive, but having a few problems with my son i.e he wont stop fucking crying the whole time. Anyway, mum takes me for lunch (where we thought was child friendly) to cheer me up. 1, no baby changing, so had to do it on my lap
2, wouldnt heat his dinner, so had to have it cold
3, wouldnt heat his milk, so the forula didnt mix properly so couldn't give it to him. Against company policy to heat baby stuff.

Soooo, after about half hour, my son (7 months) had had his cold lunch and was crying for a bottle. We were half waythrough ours and had already paid so we decided to eat up. Then manager comes over, says there has been a complaint about son crying. Well yeah you stupid fuck, your 'policy' says he cant have his milk heated. So we had to leave!
Im so upset, Im stressed anyway cuz of hearing his whinging all day without wasting money on a very rare lunch and being asked to leave by some pretentious shit in a pink shirt.
Excuse my language.

sorry you had such a bad time. hope next time you go out it goes better for you

You sound like you've had a crapola week- I'm glad you find it good to offload here though, it's a great place to vent! Hope to see you around, piling in on any old tripe, it's great

Feel really sorry for OP. I went out the other day with my 10mth old so easier but went in 4 cafes etc, tesco, asda, burger king and a pub (only 4 nearby). NOWHERE would heat food as its dangerous but were happy to give me a jug of red hot water (go figure!). He was at an age i could give nibbles etc but was not very helpful. To top it off my tuna melt was stone cold and when i asked for it to be heated was told they couldn't case i burnt my mouth!! There was me thinking a tuna melt would involve the cheese being hot enough to melt! {wink]

Oh and my DS is also a high pitched screamer! Its hard isn't it.

Monkey..my 8mth old has acid reflux.... OMG what a PITA. Miserable after a feed, fed hourly, sick all the time and screamed and wailed to the point that I've had to do a lot of 'hands off' or I may have hurt him.
He is much better now he's sitting up and trying to crawl.

Teeth and frustration makes my baby very cry'y'.

I've only just started going out with DS and enjoying it (he is nearly 5)!!
TBH that was a pretty ambitious thing to do with a child that cries a lot (mine did, too). When we did attempt it I always took him outside as soon as he started crying or being a PITA (when older) and we have left early on a couple of occasions, too.

prems should be weaned according to actual age not corrected unless other medical reasons say not to.

If baby is crying a lot have you thought of using a sling?

I feel your pain. Very Awkward situation all round.

My kids are older but being a mum I am VERY sympathetic to babies crying but the other day I had to walk out of tesco because of the piercing shrieking noise a baby was making.It was truly unbearable, and he could be heard all over the store

I felt very sorry for the parents but it would have been inappropriate for a store manager to ask them to leave.

However I do think one of them should have taken the child outside. I realise you were on the verge of doing this when you were asked.

I hope you feel ok now. It is horrible when these supposed nice occasions go wrong.

Have you spoken to your health visitor about why your baby might be crying so much?

My DD is 4, and even when she was a baby places wouldn't heat things up for you.
I used to use a thermos food flask. They can be quite expensive - but it still gets used now (4 years later)

I agree if there are 2 adults, one should take the baby outside but what if there is only 1 adult? Do you leave early or try to carry on?

I remember KFC wouldn't give us hot water to heat a bottle for Tom once, yet they sold my dad a hot cup of coffee! So I got my boobs out right in the middle of the restaurant . I always took a Thermos flask or the Fisher Price flask out with us after that.

I would have said to the manager, "and? Babies do cry! Which, incidentally he wouldn't be doing if you'd let me heat up his food/bottle. Oh, by the way, we're not leaving until we've eaten your food, unless you are going to give us a refund!"

I don't think he should have asked you to leave. What I would have said was, "Hi there, I'm really sorry to have to do this but we've had a couple of complaints about your baby crying. I completely understand that babies do cry but I have to be seen to be following them up. Perhaps a bit of fresh air might calm him down?"
