It's one thing to say that sitting by unruly kids can ruin a meal but it's completely different to say that sitting by ANY kids ruins a meal.
Fortunately, your kids are good at restaurants, never a problem, (and thats not a proud grammacindy talking, its the truth) but unfortunately, so many parents aren't diligent like you are about their kids behaving, so many look at it like its a night out for them so the restaurant can babysit them, or at least that seems to be the kids we get to sit beside. Its not the kids fault at all, it the parents. Its like people saying Rotties are mean, mine isn't, but he was trained better. I don't take offense cause I know there are a lot of mean ones out there, owners who make them that way. I'm not thrilled with unruly adults either, and in fact, just the other day we were at a restaurant and some lady was unbeliveably loud and bousterous, and I understand it was a bar type (Beef O'Bradys) but it was totally uncalled for, and I made a face at her a couple of times, but she didn't care, and I HAVE asked to be moved away from loud adults also.
If you think you know all the answers, it just means you haven't been asked all the questions.
