Last weekend at Superman Returns 'Mom' and 'Dad' sat two seats down from me with an obviously disinterested toddler. To his credit, the kid watched it for a while, but it didn't last. About 20 minutes in, he started screaming, jumping around, fiddling with the aisle's running lights and such. Meanwhile 'Mom' and 'Dad' just sat there staring stupidly up at the screen mumbling the occasional 'Daddy said no.' I had to slap the seat next to 'Dad' to get his attention and ask him if I was going to have to get someone before they got him under control.
I understand that kids are going to act like kids because they're....kids.
There's a big difference between 'kids will be kids' and 'screaming hellions running amok.'
As for the OP, well, I've seen a lot worse. Thank the restaurant gods that he just wanted a bottle warmed up and wasn't changing a diaper, changing the kid's clothes or wiping dog shit off his kid's shoe with the cloth napkin. (Been there, seen that.)
