To be fair, letting your 4-year-old belt out some fucked up version of twinkle twinkle little star at the top of their lunges in a restaurant is also common.
It’s so nice to be overseas and be able to take my daughter places where people actually enjoy her being around. She’s a year old and of course she screams, she cries, but she has to be able to be out in society because how else is she supposed to learn social norms and interactions?
People in the US are just always annoyed that a kid made any noise at all.
Edit: how do I get downvoted for the exact same sentiment as the comment above?
Yeah my understanding is places like France in particular have a very high tolerance for infants in public spaces, which leads to kids going to restaurants and such at a younger age, which means they get socialized and learn how to behave at a younger age as well.
The US hates kids and gets angry at parents for having the audacity to let them be seen or heard in public.

Sees one post generalize conclusion for an entire population.
What makes you think I’ve only seen one post relevant to my point?
Sees one comment assume entire basis for someone’s opinion.
Yes on just that phrase alone.
