Prime example of why I hate other parents...
0tterbot wrote: i'm curious as to why you "hate" other parents (what, all of them? including me? ;-) because the zoo's policy is moronic & the child is at fault? The parents are at fault. The zoo is merely following state health regs, most likely. the zoo is at fault here as well, (twice). i don't like zoos. I don't either. But in this instance, the parents are at fault. i don't mind most parents, though. it's not clear to me how this incident would lead to parent-hating, unless it's just something you like to do, in which case finding more "reasons" is probably a bit redundant. ? Parents fail to supervise their children ad nauseum. -L. |

She's Perfect because she adopted a child and doesn't let him eat in public because she thinks children in restaurants are the nth level of Hell. LOL And sometimes it can be. What most people do not understand is the parent with the screaming kid is praying that the wait staff will bring the check RIGHT NOW. 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. Tori Nan is talking out her ass. We do eat out as a family but only on Family Night at a certain restaurant. And we would leave if DS became disruptive. I have seen parents not care of their kids disrupt others. To me, that's the epitome of restaurant rudeness. -L. |

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. Really, more restaurants should do this - have a family section. -L. |

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. Same here. I've been seated in an obvious kiddie ghetto area even with just a 10 year old. I request a different area. Banty -- http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5222154.stm |

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. |

How are you going to do this? 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. |
