She wasn\u2019t there to constantly watch over her shoulder or ensure that strangers had a good time. All Katie wanted to do was enjoy some family time with her young son Drew. The bubbly 10-month-old boy had been doing what toddlers do when they\u2019re happy \u2014 laughing, clapping, and occasionally letting out some uncontrollable excitement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-16\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-9\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe had been screaming off and on just with everybody as they were singing happy birthday.

As normal as the instance was and is to be expected at a restaurant like that, two older women had a lesson for this \u201cdisrespectful\u201d mother whose son \u201cruined\u201d their meal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-16\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-9\"><\/div>\n<p>The mother admitted that her son\u2019s \u201cnew thing\u201d was being loud, but she added that it wasn\u2019t as though Drew was yelling the entire time. He was just excited, and when his emotions got away from him, he let out an occasional hyper screech. \u201cI\u2019m doing my best to teach him indoor voice and to not yell back at me when telling him no etc, but he is only 10 (almost 11 months) and LEARNING,\u201d the mother<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ktvb.com\/article\/news\/local\/fellow-diners-accuse-nampa-family-of-ruining-their-dinner-deliver-nasty-note\/24635074\">\u00a0explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23651\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23651\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23651 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/taphaps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Katie-Leach3-678x439.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/taphaps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Katie-Leach3.jpg 678w, https:\/\/taphaps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Katie-Leach3-550x356.jpg 550w\" alt=\"Katie Leach\" width=\"678\" height=\"439\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23651\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katie Leach with her husband Andrew (Photo Credit: Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>About halfway through the meal, two customers in \u201ctheir late 50\u2019s or early 60\u2019s\u201d slammed a disapproving note down on the table between Katie and her young son.

Trying to make amends as well as defend herself and her son, Katie went to their table and explained that Drew was still learning how to behave in public. \u201cHe\u2019s so young,\u201d Katie said. \u201cHe barely understands now. I mean he\u2019s starting to learn that when we tell him no that means to tone it down, which he was doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-16\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-11\"><\/div>\n<p>The women responded by comparing their grandkids with Katie\u2019s child, saying that they would never behave the way Drew did. If their grandchildren actually are well-behaved, they didn\u2019t learn it from dear old disgruntled grandma, who feels it\u2019s her place to butt into other people\u2019s business and tell strangers how they are parenting the wrong way.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Mother Shamed At Texas Roadhouse For Loud Child\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/E1mNe0GOFY0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-ratio=\"0.5625\" data-width=\"640\" data-height=\"360\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Katie told the manager what happened, and he was just as surprised as her. He paid for Leach\u2019s meal and said Drew was welcome any time. Additionally, the restaurant chain came to the mother\u2019s defense and issued a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re in the hospitality business. We want all our guests to have a great experience,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/nation-now\/2015\/10\/06\/diners-note-screaming-kid-ruined-our-meal\/73454406\/\">said<\/a>\u00a0Texas Roadhouse spokesman Travis Doster. \u201cWe were voted one of the loudest restaurants by Consumer Reports. We are proud to be loud. If you want to hear clinking wine glasses and clinking forks, then this probably isn\u2019t the place for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-16\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\"><\/div>\n<p>Texas Roadhouse knows that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/taphaps.com\/jeff-anon-restaurant-sign-23b\/\">families<\/a>\u00a0want to eat out too, and they have provided the perfect environment for that. These snooty women were in the wrong to think they should have a say in how other people parent. They obviously haven\u2019t spent enough time with their own children to think this behavior from a kid is unexpected. Maybe they could take a page out of Katie\u2019s book and benefit from some joyous family time like she was trying to do.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\">\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-47509\" src=\"https:\/\/taphaps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-05-20-at-9.55.23-PM-640x50.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"50\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A woman was out to dinner with her family in Idaho when two grandmothers from&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3221,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3220","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"views":142,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3220","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3220"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3220\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3220"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
