with that being said. . .I want to focus on the last part. Random person judging others in a restaurant. I have a two year old and a five year old. ..and I'll tell you what. A ipad, iphone, whatever is a godsend to allow my wife and I to finish a meal.


How about talking to them coloring while you wait? Your parents did it, so why not you & your wife?
I'm not trying to judge anyone but when they get addicted to it & they kick & scream for all the time. Yeah, I get that you make a living with it & that's not a problem, but it does SOUND like children should seen not heard.

Actually I am sick of people with Iphones because you can not have a conversation with them with out them ignoring you and all attention on the Iphone. If a person has a Iphone in hand I do not even attempt to talk to them except to say hi, why waste my time and breath?
Agreed! Trying to talk to someone who isn't paying attention is just plain rude. I don't understand the idea that people feel that they have to stay connected all the time.

I don't understand people's needs to talk to me all the time.

I am on my phone because I would rather do that than talk with you. It is a choice I specifically make because I do not want to talk. You will know I want to talk when I put my phone down.
