Diner Lady Who Yelled At Parents of Screaming Kid

[MarinaVanessa]

I don't believe the mom's side of the story, sorry. For one thing she also said that the owner screamed at her toddler (in her review, I think but can't remember) and several customers as well as the owner have all said that the owner yelled at the parents. She was near them all but the yelling wasn't directed at the child, it was to the parents.

The owner however tells her side and the story and proudly as it seems so for to admit she did what she did and said what she said I tend to believe her more considering that she's admitting to behaving (IMO) inappropriately and unprofessionally. I know I read in one article that the owner loudly asked if they're table's check was ready so maybe that's what some are referring to in regards to whether the parents didn't know they were being asked to leave but in a different article with one of the other customers it said that the owner went to the parents table and asked them to either quiet their kid or take their food to go and that's when the parents said no. That backed up the owner's version of what happened. So far the only people I've seen tell a story that doesn't match up are what the parents are saying.

Overall I think this issue is way overboard but it sure does make for an interesting discussion doesn't it .

I agree. The diner owner may have been rude or over the top, but she felt authentic and she said what she did and even admitted to poor judgement. The mom seems like she wants everyone to feel bad for her and her baby...hence my intitial comment about entitlement parenting. "Oh poor me! I had a baby and it is tough being a parent and all I wanted to do was eat my pancakes and this big, scary lady yelled at me! Boo hoo!" That was all I got from her explanation. The biggest issue I have is that the whole thing could have been avoided if the parents had read the signs of their toddler and planned appropriately. They didn't and the owner flipped out. Not cool , but it definitely does not release the parents of the part they played in this whole situation. And if the mom didn't want the media attention, she wouldn't have posted on FB int he first place or written an Op-ed for the washington post. She just doesn't want people who called her out on her parenting to get the last word. (for the record, the dad was there too and just as faulty, but the mom is the one who has posted online and written the article, so that is why I refer to her).
