Picture the scene; Very family orientated middle class borough of London....
we were sitting having dinner with our DS when a very middle class looking couple walked into the restaurant with a baby of about 1 year. Not long after the baby bumped his arm and started screaming, so the dad picks him up and with that a glass went flying off their table onto the floor and breaks. The mother stood up in a busy restaurant and in a very loud voice said 'F,,,,,g Hell I can't do this anymore!' She storms out of the restuarant with the dad left holding a screaming baby. All of the other customers couldn't belive what they had just heard - 2 minutes later the mother comes back into the restaurant sits down at the table and continues with her meal as if nothing has happend??!!!! I've been to alot of restaurants and have never heard anything like it. How could she have the front to just resume her dinner like nother had happened? She should have run off to the hills and hung her head in shame!blush

I am shocked that anyone would be shocked at that - so she lost it went and cooled down and came back - sounds sane to me

I actually ran a search on Jzee to see if this was her first post (I was thinking trip trap..), but it turns out it isn't.

Nevertheless I still suspect that Jzee is having fun winding us all up. She must be - surely. Nobody can be that obtuse

Is this buggery the most shocking thing ever said by a parent in a restaurant

you lead a very sheltered life OP

I told my DH to fuck off in Le Manoir au Quat Saisons

There, does that shock you?

I've once slapped my dh and stormed out of a bar on holiday when I was preg with ds... I've thrown many things around the house and once kicked ds's door so hard when he was a young toddler and I was shattered and pregnant with dd that I put a hole in it. The door is still there, as is the hole, it's now 5 years on .
I totally understand how the woman felt, though I am just one of these people for whom swearing doesn't come natural, so I would have stormed off without the f*ing bit!!
Oh and yes, you don't have to be depressed to feel like that. I get like that once a month and dh is generally the target...

I was so angry with DH in a restaurant that I shat in his dinner.

Well, as I always say you have to walk a mile in someones shoes before you criticise them.

Then you're a mile away from them, plus you have their shoes.
