      I want to live in a country where grandmothers can do this, and I don’t see why I should move.

      Fortunately there’s plenty of places the child-annoyed can go to have a nice meal out free of children. So we can all win!

      no one is looking for a meal free of children the discussion is a meal free of adults who don't know manners I started this thread with "the 2yo can be forgiven".

      Many people are looking for meals, airplane rides, and social situations free of the inconveniences that go along with the presence of children, even if technically they don’t object to the children per se. But it’s a package deal.

      "it's a package deal" except we've got a very simple way to NOT make it a package deal - the kid behaves like the kid, and the adult behaves like an adult

      "Behaving like an adult" includes playing with children, especially grandmothers with babies. And yes that can get noisy; I don't mind. Most parents don't mind. And I greatly prefer social norms where that's okay. Those who do mind can go to restaurants with different norms.

      > Those who do mind can go to restaurants with different norms. Different for how long? As soon as the grandmother shows up at the next restaurant over, I know one person who will take to twitter to defend her. "It's just human! Joyful!"

      Depends on the social setting. Chilis? It's a family restaurant. Expect families, and expect families to do family things. Fancy place? Expect well-behaved people.

      so, yes, if I want to drop $100 on an expensive sushi dinner, my wife and I can avoid the loud / rude grandmother, but no $25 per person place should embrace a norm where sometimes kids make noise, but adults do not encourage it or make even louder noise

      I tweet on my schedule, not yours Also, I couldn't parse that tweet - you had either an extra layer of irony or an extra negative, I think?

      WHEN you tweet isn't something I care about the fact that you're tweeting while ignoring points I've already made is what I'm pointing at

          You tweet three times as fast as I do, and three times as aggressively. I have to be selective in the points I respond to. Doesn't mean I haven't seen or am ignoring the others. (I figured this point needed to be responded to)

          sorry about the agression this is a hot button issue for me and I'm trying hard to mute the inner rage before it hits the keyboard. (fwiw, I think I'm 90% successful ; yes, that's scary)
