[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if anyone gave me the stink eye I would laugh really loud in their face.

That said, tend to any crying individual immediately, regardless of age!  Do you blame the child for not wanting to sit there?  Call me what you will, but Dh and I did not go to restaurants until the children were old enough to grasp manners.  It depends on the child, but it is NOT infant or toddler age.

Totally this.  I've got 3 kids, 6, 3, and 13 months, and I never put up with any screaming antics at restaurants, be it McDonald's or the Ritz.  If the kids act up, they get the MOMMY stink eye, which is pretty powerful.  If they decide to defy me after that, their butts are whisked out until they calm down and get their act together.  There's no reason a bratty child should upset other people's time to enjoy eating their meal.  And putting an iPhone/movie in front of the child is a quick band-aid, I get that, but what about the bigger picture here?  The child needs to understand that screaming is unacceptable at restaurants, period. If the parents don't get that, and aren't willing to teach their children that, then they should just order take-out or delivery.  Sheesh.[/quote]
