His Wife Wants To Take Their Newborn To A Steakhouse After She Gives Birth, But He Thinks It’s Inappropriate To Bring A Baby To A Fine Dining Restaurant
This man and his wife are currently expecting their first baby, who is set to arrive any day now. So, just the other night, his wife started talking about how, a few weeks after she gave birth, she wanted to go out to a nice restaurant with him to get steaks.
“I thought, ‘Yeah, great idea! Your mother will be here to watch the baby while we go out!'” he recalled.
However, that’s not exactly what his wife meant. Instead, he found out that she actually wants to take their newborn baby with them, and he really doesn’t think that’s a good idea.
In his opinion, bringing a baby to a fine dining restaurant is totally inappropriate. After all, people wear nice clothes and go to eat in a quiet atmosphere.
“People are paying a lot of money to enjoy a relaxing evening there and eat quality food. Bringing a newborn baby with us will undoubtedly end up crying loudly at some point, and disturbing people trying to have a nice night out would be embarrassing for me,” he reasoned.
He also admitted how, if he went out to a nice restaurant like that and had to listen to a baby crying throughout his meal, it would ruin his entire experience.
Still, his wife just didn’t agree with him. Rather, she claimed that if their baby started crying, she would just start feeding him in the middle of the restaurant.
He thought that was a horrible idea, though, and pointed out how the other diners at the restaurant definitely wouldn’t want to watch her feed their baby while they were trying to enjoy their own meals.
“I understand she doesn’t want to be apart from the baby for one second, but I also feel like taking a 2-week-old to a fine dining restaurant is a pretty bad idea,” he said.

That’s why he told his wife that if she wants to go to the steakhouse with just her mother and their baby, that’s fine. However, he refuses to go with them or disturb other people who are trying to enjoy a relaxing evening.
This wound up really ticking his wife off, too, and she has actually barely spoken a word to him ever since he shot down her idea.
So now, he’s been left wondering if not wanting to take a newborn out to a fancy steakhouse is really so unreasonable or not.
Do you agree that a steakhouse isn’t the right environment for a newborn? Do you think his wife will realistically be up for going out to such a nice dinner so soon after giving birth? How should he handle this?
