So I was at a restaurant the other day, trying to enjoy my meal, when a couple that was sitting next to me, had a 2 year old that would not stop crying. Of course they did nothing to quiet their kid, and I had to sit through this for about 10 minutes before i finally got up and left. They were getting a lot of dirty looks from people; but nobody did or said anything.

So what do you do in a situation like this? Punch the Dad in the face? Ask the waitress to throw their asses out? Throw a fit of your own and see how they like it?

In my family growing up eating out was a reward. At home you were given "stars" for good behavior and table manners, and if you achieved five stars in a row you got pick a restaurant to go to. As far as I can remember, none of us misbehaved in the actual restaurants, but since I had 3 siblings at the time, I was never the child to garner 5 straight stars. Probably because I counted on the others to get them and take us all out :P

As far as the situation described in the OP, I would talk to the manager. Talking directly to the parents could prove costly, and as someone operating a restaurant, it's probably in your best interest to calm the children down so you don't lose any business.

Get the theater manager involved.
Eveb after the picture, i would have gone up to the manager and told him it ruined your film. I bet you would have got a couple of free tickets out of it.
