And as long as this can of worms got opened, I can either eat with wild kids or eat at exclusive/expensive restaurants? That's my only choice? No, there is a third option - the one I was raised under. Teach kids to behave in public. They're not too young to start, you know. Don't think of a restaurant as a Hands-On Discovery Science Museum/Playground. Think of it as a place where people like to eat in peace and civility.

So please, explain to me what a parent who's taking an interest in the feeding of his child have to do with that?
No where in your rant did you mension the kid being obnoxious. No where did you state the kid thew food at you, or was making excessive noise.
The kid was hungry, his dad took the time to bring his own formula which simply needed to be warmed up. He was looking after his child, a good sign that his kid WILL grow up well mannered.
As for your right to a child-free environment? If you go to McDonalds or a chain like Olive Garden dont expect to not see kids. Your options are expensive restaurants or cooking at home. Either way since you are the picky one you should adapt, not expect every parent out there to.
