I haven't read the entire thread, but my daughter, sil, new baby were out eating the other night. Daughter complained (jokingly) that they could not eat because so many people were going to their table to see the new baby!
All we had to do to ours was to take them out ONE time each and they were on their best behavior forever after that!
if i didnt think my kids would behave in restaurant, then i wouldnt take them. of course, there is a time and a place. i wouldnt take my kids to a high end restaurant, and i would generally only take them out at a time when generally only the very old, or the very young, eat.
complaining generally about the noise or behaviour of kids at a restaurant specifically designed with kids in mind is about as daft as going to a busy playground to meditate.
that said, taking kids out at inappropriate times to inappropriate places bothered me just as much before i was a parent as after i became one. and there are some examples of extreme indifference of parents to the very poor behaviour of their kids which is bothersome even in a kid-friendly environment.
the world is a free for all, and anything goes without question.
I think that people who complain about kids in places have a screw loose.
since it's pretty obvious that some posters have either forgotten, or have not bothered to pay attention to the original post and the actual topic of the thread, i figured i'd repost it here.
In case you missed it again - the topic isn't about chandeliers, or aa meetings, or whether or not you like children, or even whether or not you have children.
It's about parents who choose not to try to control their children in restaurants.
samston, the world may be a free for all for you, but for those of us raised with a sense of responsibility, consideration and decency, it most certainly is not.
the same goes for our children.
this is not something i ever expect someone like you to be able to understand.

Some parents think that their children can walk over water, especially if they have had their children at a later part of the lives................
I beg to differ. I am an older mom and never once have I treated my child like she walks on water. I take my parenting responsibility very serious, much more so than when I was younger.
I figured while they were just hanging there, they might as well dust.
Now that attach to long pole........ I like that idea
Dress them in polar fleece and they can get everything dusted up there!
