Prime example of why I hate other parents...
Nan has her intimate dinners at the KFC buffet.

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. Well, then you're a selfish bitch. And if your kid continued to disrupt my intimate dinner, you'd be removed from the restaurant. -L. You have intimate dinners at a Friendly's type restaurant? That's pitiful. Er -- I think for some folks, Denny's is a Big Deal -- I realize I'm wading into deep water here, but truly, I feel that a public space is a public space. (Okay, I'm thinking of my parents, who could only afford, post-retirement, a dinner out at Denny's once in a blue moon. For them, it was an intimate dinner -- which says something about wages in the US that's pitiful, but hey, such is life) Sure, whenever you sit in the playplace part of McD's there's an expectation of what you'll get (then again, fast food is typically pretty expensive, on the whole), but at a sit-down restaurant, it's a public space and for me, the unspoken rules (aka, 'think of it from the other guy's perspective') apply. It's the same thing as not letting kids run around WalMart, nor letting them run around Bloomingdales, or Saks. It's all the same, really. Or expecting reasonable behavior, whether seated in the first class or coach sections. Whether it's an inexpensive venue for you isn't comparable to whether it's a casual/inexpensive venue for the other customers. Caledonia |
