sorry I meant you don't complain about anything small? good for you...

I'm sure that some point in time someone something does get to you. Its human... we get frustrated. Someone cuts you off, bumps into you and you drop your lunch, etc. etc. etc. We have to interact with others in our society and frustration is tantamount. There is only so many get out of jail cards, let this one slide, turn the other cheek before one just says "I'm quite easy going for the most part, but there are just times where enough is enough, I took all I can stands and I can't stands no more."

"We left, and we haven't been back since," Cavitt said. "You go to a coffee shop or a bakery for a rest, to relax, and that you would have to worry the whole time about your child doing something that children do -- really what they're saying is they don't welcome children, they want the child to behave like an adult"

YEA. Thats why we go also. To rest and relax and we can't do that when your precious little darling is running around and screaming.

Don't tell me kids can't act like adults in a restaurant, I have seen them. Better yet, do what I did, If you can't control them don't have them.

I am the mother of four ranging in age from 3-15. I also do day care. We go out to eat every Friday night to a nice family restraunt. We usually go early so we miss the dinner rush. Before we enter, I look each child in the eye and tell them what I expect from them. I have had no problems yet.

My husband is a truck driver so when he is gone, I allow the kids to each bring a friend. On one occasion, I went in with a total of 9 kids. I did not have one problem, because they knew the rules and what was expected of them. They also knew what the consiquences would be had they broke any of my rules.

Since we go to the same restraunt every week, they have learned how to act and the waitstaff and owner have even rewarded them with free desserts and extra refills. One waitress even took money out of her own pocket to get the kids gumballs from the machine. My 3 year old gets to pay the bill and he thinks that is just awesome. He takes the money and the bill up to the owner all by himself, and even hands out the tip to the waitress.

If more parents would take the time to tell their kids what is expected of them, I don't think behavior would be such an issue.
