Katie Leach was excited to get out of the house for a family dinner at Texas Roadhouse. The popular chain of eaters is known for its fun environment that caters to families and other groups. However, Leach was sh\u2019ocked when other diners at the restaurant came over to her table and slapped down a note about how Leach\u2019s 10-month-old son had \u201cruined\u201d their dinner because the baby had been crying, yelling, and making a lot of noise.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, mom admitted that her son had developed a passion for yelling, which she described as the \u201cnew thing\u201d he liked to do. At ten months old, the boy is learning to vocalize and communicate with his voice, just like every other baby that has grown up.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Leach is a resident of Nampa, Idaho and usually feels her community is welcoming and accepting. However, this i ncident at the Texas Roadhouse rubbed her the wrong way, so she turned to Facebook to post about her experience \u2013 and her message has since gone viral thousands of times over.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

She wrote: \u201cHe will yell when I tell him no when he\u2019s super excited and happy or just for no reason at all. I\u2019m doing my best to teach him an indoor voice and to not yell back at me when telling him no etc. But he is only 10 (almost 11 months) and LEARNING.\u201d<\/p>\n

The family was at the Nampa Texas Roadhouse location when her baby Drew began yelling on and off, as was his new habit. Because the boisterous restaurant had a lot of activity, Leach didn\u2019t think anyone was bothered by her noisy son. She was w\u2019rong.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had been screaming off and on just with everybody as they were singing happy birthday. And when one of the waitresses would come up, he\u2019d scream to tell them hi,\u201d she said. \u201cWe all tried quieting him down, which a majority of the time he did, but he also was so excited to be around all the commotion. He was not yelling to be mean, or because he was mad, it was purely from excitement and being happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Halfway through the Leach family meal, two diners in \u201ctheir late 50\u2019s or early 60\u2019s\u201d slammed a note down on the table near baby Drew.
\nThe handwritten note read: \u201cThank you for ruining our dinner with your screaming kid. Sincerely, the table behind you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The woman was seated close to Leach, so the mom approached the woman and explained that her son was still young and didn\u2019t know what he was doing. The upset woman told Leach that she has grandchildren and none of them were as misbehaved as Drew.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cHe\u2019s so young. He barely understands now. I mean, he\u2019s starting to learn that when we tell him no, that means to tone it down, which he was doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leach believes the diners were rude and could have handled the situation better. The restaurant manager agreed. They comped Leach\u2019s meal and invited the family back to Texas Roadhouse anytime.<\/p>\n

Travis Doster, a spokesman for Texas Roadhouse, addressed the incident: \u201cWe\u2019re in the hospitality business. We want all our guests to have a great experience. We were voted one of the loudest restaurants by Consumer Reports. We are proud to be loud. If you want to hear clinking wine glasses and clinking forks, then this probably isn\u2019t the place for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
