Mean People Suck!

So the other evening, my husband, children and I went out to dinner at one of my favorite places to eat. It was a bit late in the evening, we had had a long day and a late nap for everyone. We are selling our house (per previous posts) so we've had to be long gone from our house so the Open House chaos could commence. So we get to the restaurant and we order our food, drinks and christian becomes a bit cranky because he was hungry. He's 15 months old and can only communicate with crying or whining which most people know or at least people with any common sense. Now I've been at restaurants before I've had kids and I've been a bit bummed when a kid screams or cries in a restaurant. We've always been the type of parents if one of our kids is being totally obnoxious we remove them from the restaurant. This day, christian just happend to be hungry, not being obnoxious, and we were waiting for them to bring us our bread. That would satisfy him completely. A man and his wife were sitting next to us. Out of the blue the man says, "Can you please shut that kid up?" Now my husband on his blog states it differently but I was sitting next to him, if it had been said any other way I would NOT have been so upset at the situation. But to blatantly say, "shut that kid up". Was so out of line and just childish it was ridiculous. I looked at him and said excuse me? Again he repeated himself, "shut that kid up, can't you get control of him, I'm trying to eat here." I'm in total shock. And all I can say is, he's a baby and he's hungry. He continues on his rampage about if we can't control our children then we shouldn't bring them out in public, and that he never brought his kids out at that age. I respond to good for you, but we are having a family night and I dont keep my kids at home for fear of offending someone. If you dont like it move or find a new restaurant. He then proceeds to tell me to "shut the f**** up" <----- CAN U BELIEVE IT!?!?! In front of my kids!!! So of course I become even more irrate and REALLY angry and get even louder, I'm yelling " you are swearing profanities in front of my kids, how is that right??, this is just the rudest behavior I have EVER seen in my life". Now everyone is staring at us, all of the other families with Children!! He finally calls over the manager to get a new table and at that time a lady at the next table over from them starts in on me," Lady just shut up we dont want to hear your kids, go home, we want to enjoy our food" And of course I look at Tom and say, can you believe this?? I respond to the lady with he's a baby. She then starts to throw out insults at me which was completely out of line. She was trying to get herself comped dinner or dessert. Completely taking advantage of the situation. I finally had to leave and ignore her spouting off at the mouth, I was so close to punching her lights out but I wanted to uphold my integrity, especially in front of my kids. I wanted to model appropriate behavior. I dont know how well I succeeded but momma bear kinda took over for most of the confrontation. I will NEVER allow someone to tell me that my kid needs to shut up.
