A couple were looking forward to dining out at a fancy restaurant when their night was ‘ruined’ by parents who gave their toddler an iPad to watch on the loudest volume.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man complained to both the parents and the restaurant, claiming upmarket venues should be strictly adults only.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a Reddit thread, he questioned if he was in the wrong for being ‘crabby’ over the disturbance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I went to a dinner at hatted restaurant in the city, sitting down for a lovely date night with my wife and the next thing you hear is f***ing Bluey,’ the man began.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘First off, I don’t think you should be taking kids to fine dining establishments. It’s a bit silly to come to a place where the starters are $60 and expect them to have kids items.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I went to a dinner at hatted restaurant in the city, sitting down for a lovely date night with my wife and the next thing you hear is f***ing Bluey,’ the man began (stock image)<\/p>\n
‘The parent, before I complained, also mentioned how there wasn’t anything for the kid to eat. Yeah no s*** lady, because people don’t tend to bring a three-year-old to a restaurant whose bill will come to over $700,’ he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Hire a babysitter or go to a family restaurant – that’s why they exist.<\/p>\n
‘I walked over and asked them to turn it off if they could please, as why should we have to listen to their kids ‘babysitter,’ as I called it, and they went off, that they booked this dinner long in advance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘OK, I shot back. So you had weeks to sort out someone to watch your kid?’\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man added that he ‘loves his kids to death’ but feels that sometimes he ‘just wants to have a night out with adults’.<\/p>\n
He then asked if he’s in the wrong, and more than 600 people weighed in.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a detailed Reddit thread, he was left to question if he was in the wrong for being ‘crabby’ over the disturbance (stock image)\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Don’t think you’re the a**hole, but agree with others that the restaurant should have stepped in,’ one commented.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘The hero, not the a**hole, in my view!’ another claimed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A third said: ‘You’re in the right in that there is no excuse to playing sounds out loud in public, no matter who or where. I also think iPads at the dinner table is s****y parenting, but that’s beside the point.’<\/p>\n
‘The venue is irrelevant. The age of the user is irrelevant. If you are in a public place and you want to use an iPad or smart phone, there is no situation where listening without headphones is acceptable. None,’ another wrote.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘There’s no reasonable volume to use a tablet in a restaurant (or really any public place). I say this as a parent. Give them pencil and paper,’ someone else added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
