He didn't say the guy acted rude, he said his kid wouldn't shut up.

The rude part is this:

his father said and did nothing to stop him.

Most reasonable folk don't blame kids for acting like kids, but the parents for not enforcing good standards of behaviour on 'em. Like "use you indoor voice" when they are being loud, or to be quiet when others are talking or during a movie.

Heh when I've had a bad day with Carl, I'm envying the gays. 

Though overall I'm lucky, Carl is usually a good kid (and gets his looks from his mom, thankfully.  )

I guess I'm unreasonable, because I would be annoyed at the kid.

hey you got his mom before your lawyer money started rolling in so he could have done worse then end up looking like you lol.

He is a cute kid though. i foresee a  future heart breaker.

I just always remember the reason I had a kid to begin with: I have somebody to avenge my death if anybody kills me.

'My name is Carl Atwood.  You killed my father.  Prepare to die.'

Of course if children never go to restaurants then you will have some very badly-behaved adults when they go to a restaurant for the first time at age 18 

It is a normal part of their upbringing IMO; most people are tolerant of children and the minor irritations associated with them as they are the next generation. The problem arises when their parents are assholes and fail to teach the children how to behave..............as several others have pointed out.

Having eaten out in restaurants around the world with Languishites, I see the pained expressions other diners give me in the hope I'll stop the boys having screaming arguments about dreadnoughts.

And in that case simply complain to the management or ask politely.  Just like you would if they were a bunch of unruley adults.

I think you are right there, I'm fairly sure that my standard of behaviour in restaurants has been in decline ever since I was about 8 or so

He looks an awful lot like you do Malty.

I think he's a lot better looking than me. Even when I was the same age.
