So I'm working tonight and my DH decided to drive the hour with our 6 kids to meet me for dinner at his favorite pizza place, and the waitress come up and says "I have to ask... Are they all yours?" Part of me really wanted to say no I went out and borrowed as many kids as I could on Father's Day and take them to a restaurant!

    Not baby related but I was at the store the other day and grabbed a bag of corn chips. A woman saw me and said "are those any good?" I so bad wanted to say "nope. Taste like shit but I buy them anyway so I can throw them out when I get home".

    ??? :-/
    Eh i'll white knight. I ask people if things taste good. I don't think that requires a snarky answer (i know op didn't say it).

    Today in the park I was on the bench while DH and Joseph were playing soccer and I was kissing Jessie and telling her I love her, and a stupid lady comes by and ask "is she yours?" Stupid ass people.
    I get asked this a lot...however, it was by my middle school aged students who don't really know better.

    My response was always "No, I stole this one."

    When we go to restaurants, there have been several times I have been given a kid's meal and crayons.

    When she was 3 weeks old, a man come up, and was talking. He asked her what her name was, and then tried to call her by it a few times. He then says "does she not know her name yet?" Ha!

    And, one of the ladies handing out samples at Kroger asked me if I was sure LO like being in the moby, and said it looked weird.

    I went to Applebee's with my mom and the kids there other day. The hostess grabbed two kids menus and then asked if we needed both. Uh, no, my 3 month old infant doesn't need a kids menu, ya know because she doesn't eat food, she drinks milk. And surprisingly she doesn't color yet either. The hostess was a mom too, she really should have known better.
    I remember people asking this same thing when DS was an infant too. I just don't get it.

    At 2 months old, my BIL asked of LO, "So...what's she eating nowadays??" I kid you not-a grown-ass man. (Granted-single, late twenties, but still...)

    We've been taking mia out for dinner with us whenever and wherever we go. We always get asked if she needs a high chair. Even when she was just a week old.

    I have one...I was out to lunch with a friend and my friend was holding my baby so that I could eat and the waitress came up and was older and started talking about how she wanted more kids (her kids were in HS I guess). Then she leaned over my friend and tried to take my baby!! My friend turned Evie away from her and asked for a refill. I was so grateful that my friend was a fast thinker...I don't know if I would have been.

    I think this was more of a stupid Sh*t People Do.

    @Rad&Co - why does 2 and a half piss people off? I thought that was a common thing to say in serving. The kid doesn't need as much space.

    I can't judge. I was a hostess when I was in high school and I'm pretty sure I gave infants kids menus and asked parents if they needed a high chair. I also would say stuff like "party of two and half," which I now know pisses some people off!

    One of my MIL's friends was looking at a picture of me and asked her if my boobs always look like this or of it's because I'm nursing. Wow.

    When we go out and are asked how many, I always say 3.5. He sort of is a half since he doesn't eat anything or need too much space.

    MH grandmother asked what LO was eating these days. I told her breastmilk and she ask no, but what kind of FOODS. I was so confused she had to ask me like 3 times before I realized she was talking about solids. I said um no, im pretty sure they have to be able to sit up on there own before you give them solids. (somewhat jokingly since obviously that is not the only thing we are waiting on, but seems pretty common sense). Her reply?

    Oh I guess they do thing differently now days.

    are you kidding? she's 10 weeks old!!

    When I had DD (almost 13 years ago) restaurants offered high chairs, but they never flipped them upside down.
    (And obviously it was only places that had the squarish wooden chairs)

    The infant buckets used to SNAP onto shopping carts. Now carts are different, so they don't snap on.
    (Maybe they changed the carts or the seats on purpose for safety reasons?)

    I've been to ONE restaurant locally that had a 'sling' for bucket carriers. It actually reminded me of a wooden highchair without a seat.
    Other places I've had to put the bucket on the table, booth seat or on a chair/floor.

    And I choose a two-tiered cart whenever possible which holds a bucket seat sideways.
    ...

    I don't like LO (or DS1) being called a 'half', because technically ... DH, myself and the two kids would be 2 plus 2 halves = 3. But I need space for 4 people.
    Also, an infant in a carrier does NOT take up less space. Granted, they don't use table space, but they need floor space, and I'd say the carrier takes up more space than I do.
