Mother shocked by note criticizing her ‘screaming kid’ at restaurant
Katie Leach was given a handwritten note by two women in their early 60s as she ate with her 10-month-old son Drew at a restaurant in the USA state of Idaho on Friday.
According to Katie Leach, her 11-month-old son Drew has recently started yelling.
Drew, who was excited to be amid a lot of people and loud music at the restaurant, was “yelling off and on” as per Katie.
She explained further in her original post that “he will yell when I tell him no, when he’s super excited and happy or just for no reason at all”, like the majority of typical 10-to-11-month-old babies generally do.
That’s exactly what he was doing that evening, she said.
Leach said she tried to quiet him down but he continued yelling from excitement and “being happy”. “It’s not the baby’s fault that he is crying, that’s what babies do”, she tells Yahoo Parenting. About halfway through the meal, two middle-aged women “slammed a disapproving note down on Leach’s table” and returned to their seats.
In a mean note, they wrote: “Thank you for ruining our dinner with your screaming kid!”
“I don’t get that anger”, she said.
Leach confronted the two women and explained the situation, but the women were not sympathetic, saying they have grandchildren who have never behaved that way. Leach says she could understand their complaints if her son was older and knew better. Julie is the host of the edgy talk radio show “Warrior-Nation” and has interviewed guests including Dinesh D’souza, Michelle Malkin, and Allen West. She is the mother to three unbelievable children and considers them her greatest accomplishment above all. The manager then paid for her family’s meal, told them they were welcome at his establishment any time, and then promptly went to visit the table of the angry diners.
So much so, in fact, that the diners at a table next to them at the Texas Roadhouse took notice, penned a note, and dropped it off at Leach’s table.
“We’re in the hospitality business”.
A restaurant spokesperson says Texas Roadhouse was voted one of the loudest restaurants by Consumer Reports and they’re proud to be loud. “If you want to hear clinking wine glasses and clinking forks, then this probably isn’t the place for you”, Travis Doster, a spokesman for Texas Roadhouse, told KTVB. “But we have a quick trigger with our kids”.
