I'm trying to stare directly down at my plate the whole time I'm eating because I know if I look up I'll see some kid staring at me with a mixture of boogers and cheese hanging off his chin.

Gee, where are my peeps? Usually, when I complain about cleanliness and kids in restaurants, I get a lot of "amens" from the congregation. But somebody let the Armed Parent Militia sneak in the door.
Your initial post sounds like you have a general hostility toward children regardless of their behavior. I dislike misbehaving children. If my child acts up in a public place, we head to the car for a time out, but you don't even want to have to look at children, you know if you look up you'll see boogers and cheese, disease ridden bottles, etc. ... That may be where the phobia comments come from.

We never go to McDonald's, but if my daughter behaved in a fast food restaurant the way that I see many kids behave, she would be in a time out in the car.
