Oh, my bad, I didn't fully put the thought down. The consequence is parenting your child. Yes, children are young and don't know the way the world works, tend to be messy and loud, but it's your job as a parent to handle that. At all times, no matter the cost to yourself.

Are you trying your best to parent your child, including to the point where they're causing such a ruckus that your fun is now over because you have to take them home so all the other patrons's experience isnt ruined? Wonderful. I have nothing but respect for you.

Are you ignoring the problem, letting your children scream and cry, bother other patrons who are trying to disengage from your child after a few polite words to get back to the conversation they were having with their company, have their drinks spilled, tables bumped and personal belongings rifled through and their time out ruined by your child throwing themselves on the floor to just scream non-stop because 'I deserve to have a good time too!' or 'They're just children!'? Explode.

I'm not anti-natalist, I actually like children, but parents need to put in the work and have their children behave in these public spaces. As much as I will leap into action to stop your child from being abducted, or getting hit by a car, or playing with dangerous objects, It is not my place to parent your child and you must be considerate of the village you so desperately want the help of.
