we have four kids, oldest just turned 5. we also love to eat out (food).
we never have even thought of bringing more than a bottle. even though most restaurants gouge the shit out of parents IF they have childrens portions, we still slog through it.
most of the time, we get a couple leaving who lean in and say how well mannered our children are.
we will see a couple with one kids, who is out of control, and laugh about it because we know those parents let the kid run them. it all comes down to parenting.
and as for you rat, we usually tip 30-35% for the mess!
