Prime example of why I hate other parents...

As I said (and you seem to have snipped) Some adults need to learn tolerance just as much as some children need to learn what is tolerable. You're the epitome of Entitlemoo.

You obviously have a low tolerance for noise in a Family restaurant.

Inconvenience the entire universe because you have an uncontrollable brat. Nice. Uhm no. Her child has a disability. That you judge her as an uncontrollable brat speaks volumes about you. Nan ah ... s'ok. I can see we are having a battle of wits w/ an unarmed person. BTDT. |

Then KEEP your little ****-stains at Chuck E. Cheese. But nooooo - you

We get out of the habit of all eating at the table from time to time, and when we do the kids do awful eating out. The more we eat at the table the better they do eating out. Yeah, the way I see it, there are family restaurants. If someone doesn't want to deal with noisy kids, then stay home. Nan |

You shouldn't even be allowed ON the bus you ill-mannered cow.
Knit Chic wrote: "Donna Metler" wrote in message news I don't know if the waiter had lost a bet or what, but one night we were at Dixie Cafe (a definite family-style restaurant) and every single table in one section had a child below the age of 3, many of them with older preschoolers as well-and this was a section which was sort of separated from the main seating area. Actually, it sort of reminded me of smoking/non-smoking, except that it was more like "crying/non-crying". And it was great! No glares about toddlers being toddlers, sure there was some fussiness at various times, but every family knew that they could be next, so no problems there, breastfeeding perfectly fine, and lots of toddlers entertaining each other between tables. Meanwhile, in the other section, the other diners were pretty well separated from baby/toddler land, so presumably they could enjoy their meal, too. -- Donna DeVore Metler I have had this happen too .. but it really bugs me. It's too "back of the bus" for me. If I feel as though the seat we are shown isn't appropriate for some reason (it seems that I always end up getting seated right under the a/c or under a speaker. I have a hearing issue and neither one works for me) I'll look around and request to be seated in the most appropriate place. |

Learn to control your little retard.
Knit Chic wrote: There are all kinds of disruptions in the world ... a lot of people need to get over themselves. My daughter has a disability and not a disability that everyone can see. If she has issues in a public area, I will remove her from that public area if it benefits her. I'm not going to remove her from an area that she is legally permitted to be in for any other reason, even if that means she is "disrupting" someone else. Some adults need to learn tolerance just as much as some children need to learn what is tolerable. |

I need to ask. I don't watch TV, so I don't see the ads; and I keep kosher, so I don't eat at Fridays. They don't *really* have a *Happy Ending* sundae, do they? Do they, ummmmm, ahhhhh, know what a "happy ending" in the adult world? Barbara (with an admittedly dirty mind) They do. It is a happy ending to a meal. And I, for one, can kinda guess what it is but have never heard the expression. |

Meanwhile, in the other section, the other diners were pretty well separated from baby/toddler land, so presumably they could enjoy their meal, too. This has happened to me without complaint. I like it actually. My kids are really well behaved in restaurants because they like them. The know how to behave and if they can't, we leave. That said, on a recent vacation trip, it was restaurant or nothing after a long car ride with two tired yet revved up kids. They were still well behaved, yet it took more effort on our part. And it was a bit of a relief to know if they slipped a little, we'd only be bothering the family with the yammering 18mo next door. Now some people have spoken to unsatisfacoty seating, well a restaurant that seats ANYONE in that kind of seating is a restaurant that I would not return to with my hard earned money. -- Donna DeVore Metler Orff Music Specialist/Kindermusik Mother to Angel Brian Anthony 1/1/2002, 22 weeks, severe PE/HELLP And Allison Joy, 11/25/04 (35 weeks, PIH, Pre-term labor) |

Really, more restaurants should do this - have a family section. -L. I phoned a restaurant recently that we had never been to before to ask of children were welcome. The host or whatever did not really know what I meant. He said we have things on the menu that children might find appealing yadda yadda. I said no that's not what I mean. Do children and families frequent the restaurant enough that this is the kind of place where other patrons expect it? Or are the patrons looking for their relaxed, quiet, romantic dinner? He paused for a minute and said "No one has ever asked me that before." He then tried to very graciously tell me it was really the latter without telling me we were unwelcome. And thanked me profusely for my concern.... I think that some people assume that everywhere is appropriate for their children if *they* want to go. |
