Calling a baby “shouty and bangy” just means they are a normal 10 month old- not sure why people are overreacting. I’m not in the area, so no advice, but lots of people here either don’t admit that their 10 month olds are often loud and bang things, or they are too scared to take them anywhere. Enjoy yourself! We took our kids out all the time to eat at that age.


Or people remove their kids when they are being loud. OP specifically wants her baby to put on a show for all the restaurant to observe as she and her spouse laugh, encourage, and seek out an audience for their baby’s antics. Nobody else is there to see the shouty bangy baby show that they didn’t ask for and may very well ruin their own dinner.


You missed my point. There are tones and flavors to the way people post and it varies across platforms and geographical areas. British humor and online posting styles are much more tongue in cheek and self deprecating than dcum, for instance. In the UK people love taking the piss and everyone appreciates it, whereas this forum is pretty uptight and people are thin-skinned.


Oh yeah, making fun of the BRF is the quickest way to a Brit’s heart.

Whatever. Don’t bring your annoying babies to restaurants to “entertain” the other diners. Don’t care about your sense of humor or lack thereof when you’re obnoxious.

Guess what, this isn’t Britain. If you ask for advice on an American forum you should ask in ways that adapt to the local norm. Because you’re going to get locally normed responses.

Seriously, what is wrong with these people. How do they function in the world.

For what it's worth, OP, you sound like you have a lovely happy baby, and I love seeing happy babies at restaurant. (Seeing sad babies at restaurants makes me sad for the baby, and the parents, but does not make me spew bile uncontrollably, because I am a normal person.)


There’s a few nasty miserable toxic people who hang out on these board so they can attack others anonymously. It makes them feel better about how shitty their life is.
