I watched one evening not too long ago as 2 moms sat and ate their dinner and chatted, completely oblivious to the fact that their 3-4 yo children were running all over the restaurant, nearly tripping an elderly disabled woman whose hubby had to run interference for her. I think that may be what is feared. I have no problem with kids coming with you during a Happy Hour, or a dinner…but ..shouldn’t they be expected to stay at your table, and not throw food etc., all over the place, getting into other people’s way? No one is saying that you shouldn’t bring your kids.But, just please remember that you’re the parent, and include the children in your good time out so they don’t get antsy and get into the face of someone who may not appreciate it. Kid friendly doesn’t mean we’re all babysitters whilst you have your relaxing good time :)
