An Idaho mom is upset after receiving a note from two women at the next table criticizing her decision to bring a loud baby to a Texas Roadhouse. The mom says she's trying to get her child used to being out in public. VPC

BOISE —*An Idaho mom, who was at a restaurant with her family*—*including her 10-month-old son*— is upset after receiving a nasty note from diners who accused her son of "ruining" their dinner with his yelling.
Katie Leach, of Nampa, Idaho, admits that her son Drew's "new thing" is yelling.
"He will yell when I tell him no, when he's super excited and happy or just for no reason at all," Leach wrote on a Facebook post to KTVB-TV. "I'm doing my best to teach him indoor voice and to not yell back at me when telling him no etc.*But he is only 10 (almost 11 months) and LEARNING."
Leach said she and her family where dining at Texas Roadhouse in Nampa*on Friday when her son began to yell off and on.

"He 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'd scream to tell them hi," said Leach.
"We 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," Leach said. "He was not yelling to be mean or because he was mad, it was purely from excitement and being happy."
Leach said about halfway through her dinner, two customers in "their late 50's or early 60's," slammed a disapproving note down on the table between Leach and her son.*The women then returned to their table behind Leach's.
"Thank you for ruining our dinner with your screaming kid. Sincerely, the table behind you," the note read.
Leach says she approached the two women and tried to explain that she's doing her best to teach her son how to behave at the table, but said he's young and*is still learning. She said the women told her their grandchildren never behave like that. Leach says she could understand their complaints if her son was older and knew better.

"He's so young," she said. "He barely understands now. I mean he's starting to learn that when we tell him no that means to tone it down, which he was doing."
She wishes they had handled things differently.
Leach said the manager of Texas Roadhouse apologized for the way her family was treated. The manager told the women they could finish their dinner, but then they had to leave quietly, she said.
Leach said the manager paid for her meal and said her family is welcome to return to the restaurant anytime.
“We’re in the hospitality business. We want all our guests to have a great experience,” said Travis Doster, a spokesman for Texas Roadhouse. “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’t the place for you.”
