She's not wrong. But acting like a jerk about it is lame. It's something you say in the car on the way home, wasn't that kid so annoying?!

Wait until this woman has kids then she’ll understand. Kids deserve to take up space as they are humans too.

Ok. So annoying kids or no annoying kids. It could have been a number of things. Bad service, bad food, bad weather, difficult patrons, etc. But his point was that she was negative, complaining, she herself was as whiny and annoying as the child. I personally would see that energy as just bad vibes and a red flag. Be present with me. Stop letting it ruin our time together. That's the issue. She was just a bad date. My now husband and I probably would have made jokes and tried to make the child laugh. He was looking for empathy. A quality character trait. A kindness. A heartbeat. I totally embrace his decision.

I don’t blame the guy, she has no class obviously

Like my Dad used to tell me and my sisters when we were younger, “Have some couth!” I can understand how she would have been annoyed, but she could have expressed it differently!

People without kids and help with those kids don’t understand.

She needs to get over herself. She could have asked the restaurant staff to move them, but she was rude about it. I don't blame him one bit for dumping her.

Cassie, sometimes I don't agree with you but OMG. I will bow down to your sass any day! You are a queen!

I always thought that restaurants would do good to have a glass sound proof room with teenagers there to supervise the kids so everyone can enjoy their time

Children are part of society too, miserable sow and sow!!

4 dates are nothing! I used to do the same, I want to take time to see the person in different settings and how they treat others etc. 1st few months people can pretend...they put best foot forward etc.

I wish her well too!

I am really horrible with etiquette but I know enough to not complain when I am on a date especially with someone fairly new. Especially if I am really enjoying their company then most other distractions do not bother me. It sounds like he found it very off-putting but the fact the whatever came out of her mouth and a tone that she use was so off-putting even bothered the table next to them made it officially a lot worse

Well, turn it around...if you gave him that reason after 4 dates, would you want a radio station to contact you and dig for a better reason ? If you answer no, then give him that same space. So, now that I have heard the issue...the issue is not the kids at the restaurant, it almost always goes down to the parents handling or non-handling of the said kids...but yeah, that would turn me off because I hate complainers...

She's a mean spirited person.

I agree with the caller! Don't bring your toddler to a fancy restaurant, because it's a waste of everybody's money. Toddlers don't care about dry aged tomahawk steak with truffle potatoes, which is a waste of your money. Having to hear screaming and smell poop is ruining my experience, so that is a waste of my money. It is a no win situation, so take them to Texas Roadhouse instead of Bones.

Sounds trashy...

I'm sorry, but she does have a point. Who feels sorry for parents when they bring a toddler past it's bedtime to a nice restaurant? And then the rest of us all have to deal with it. But, she did not need to make so many comments about it. Everybody knows their kids are annoying.
