Amazes me how parents plug their kids into a tablet and ignore them.... Usually because they’re too busy on their phones

The entire family is the problem in my eyes. Not one of the 3 adults in her life stepped up and made her turn it down. All 3 told her to and the little girl raised her voice and did what she wanted. All 4 needed a beating and their heads held under water for a few minutes.

I rarely eat out at restaurants, so when I do I typically want it to be a very relaxing experience where I will have a few drinks, eat well and tip well. That being said, I can't stand when I'm seated next to a booth with children and they are standing on the seat staring at you from the other side or the parent lets the child cry for 3/4ths of my meal. I don't let my kids play on tablets, I simply bring flash cards, coloring books and about 4 other activities we do as a family as I enjoy Mexican restaurant happy hour!

I was referring to the fact that Dad brought the kids to Moms work knowing that they would be a distraction to her work and she would be a distraction to them behaving. But I agree with you.

I agree. The problem is it seems nobody in the service industry understands service anymore. Before I had kids my wife and I would go to a restaurant together where the hostess would seat us next to a family with young kids. The restaurant would be half empty and they would sit us one booth away. Now that I have kids myself the opposite happens. Numerous times have they tried to sit my wife and I with our kids next to a couple without kids. Even if they're good they're still very talkative, messy, and I can't always prevent a meltdown. I always ask for a table further away. I have said for a long time and still believe that restaurants should have a designated section for people with kids.

Simpsons have an episode where Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples and Teens, and Gays" banned children from public places, there is a restaurant scene in the "kids section" that is priceless, complete anarchy.
