Idaho mom upset after fellow diners send a note about her child's "new thing" (he's into yelling)

[Miles Archer]

BOISE - A Nampa mom is upset after she says she received a nasty note from her fellow diners accusing her 10-month-old son of "ruining" their dinner with his yelling.

Katie Leach admits that her son's "new thing" is yelling.

"He will yell when I tell him no, when he's super excited and happy or just for no reason at all," Leach wrote on a Facebook post to KTVB. "I'm doing my best to teach him indoor voice and to not yell back at me when telling him no etc, But he is only 10 (almost 11 months) and LEARNING."

Leach says she and her family where dining at Texas Roadhouse in Nampa when her son began to yell off and on. "We all tried quieting him down which a majority of the time he did but he also was so excited to be around all the commotion," said Leach. "He was not yelling to be mean or because he was mad, it was purely from excitement and being happy."

1. Maybe taking a 10 month old to a public restaurant isn't the best idea?

All the 'commotion' isn't really conducive to keeping such a small child quiet.

12. My mother gave me a good piece of advice

"Never bring your children to a restaurant that they are not old enough to behave in comfortably."

This translates to: Bring your kids to age appropriate places and then both you and they can enjoy yourselves together instead of spending the whole time struggling to make them behave.

13. Your mom is a smart woman.

There's no excuse for disrupting the meals of a restaurant full of people. None.

2. This child has issues that probably won't get

diagnosed for awhile. Not excusing the rude diner, but I've seen this movie before.

3. Parents who lack the human fortitude to face the consequences of raising a kid

Your kid misbehaves in a restaurant, then you fricken' leave (with the kid).

Your kid misbehaves in the grocery store, then you fricken' leave.

Your kid misbehaves in church, then you fricken' leave.

Ignore the promises, ignore the screams, ignore that little animal until you get him or her away from the human beings.

"new thing" - What a crock of bullshit. The parents should get themselves sterilized.

4. I cannot stand the high pitched screams that kids let out.

Take the screamers outside and let them sit in the car and learn whatever their new trick is there.

I always took my babies outside when they started to create a disturbance.

BTW; from the story;

Leach says about halfway through her dinner two customers, "Caucasian women in their late 50s or early 60s," slammed a disapproving note down on Leach's table. The women then sat back down at their table behind Leach's.

Why did they mention race? Weird.

5. The overstimulation wasn't good for the poor kid either. nt

6. I agree with the Diners

Perhaps the toddler is not ready to go out. If the kid was yelling they should have taken him outside until he calms down.

7. screaming children should be taken out

And away from other people. If they are incapable they should be with a babysitter. Having said that Texas Roadhouse is hardly a quiet highbrow establishment. You can't have a conversation in one...they are noisy without screaming children.

8. Slow news day in Charlotte...

9. It's called take-out.

And it's for new parents....

Poor kid's gonna be raised by morons.

10. How about not being an ass and keeping your child out of restaurants during this phase?

These parents were not the victims, the other patrons were.

[Bonx]

11. Get over yourself Mom

They said 'Thank you'.

14. Do that learning part at home please. No need for strangers to endure the lessons

Sincerely,
A parent....

15. The Texas Roadhouse closest to us is so loud already

we probably wouldn't even notice a screaming child. The acoustics in their restaurants are the worst.

16. I HATE screaming children in restaurants. I wear hearing aids and it's painful.

They should stay home if their child can't behave in public. Nobody has the right to ruin experiences for everybody else. They are incredibly self-centered and selfish.

This subject gets me going...

[Person 2713]

19. Yes selfish and so self centered they are clueless to those around their precious

I had to leave a cart full of groceries one time
did I want to come back and have to shop all over again ? No but my son was at that age and it was not stopping and I was aware it was too disruptive to stay

Honor student now I might proudly add

17. Kid has almost no chance. His mother is still a pouting infant. nt

18. I can forgive a few outbursts but constant yelling?

no, no and NO
