My mom has been known to tell me that I had great table manners as a kid until my dad taught me bad habits... I don't know what the bad habits were though. I've never heard of a "kid's room" in a restaurant.

Nowhere in the job description is "cleaning up after customers' children." Now that I have my own children, not only do I expect them to behave in restaurants--or we do not go out--but I clean up after them. No, they don't throw food on the floor, but they do drop some sometimes. They're children. I'M the one who gets down and picks it up. The server is there to serve the food. I also tip well.<BR/><BR/>It's people like that who prejudice businesses against children, and the rest of us with kids eventually suffer for it.amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429539000041713324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-77071422423686513762007-03-12T15:00:00.000-05:002007-03-12T15:00:00.000-05:00I have a story like that, too - BUT I once let the...I have a story like that, too - BUT I once let the kidlet do her worst. I was waiting to get my car back from a simple oil change, they were 2 hours past the time they promised, I was tired, she was tired - you get the picture. I never saw mechanics move so fast! Got my car back in about 30 minutes. It's amazing what a well-placed child fit will do to move mechanics!debsnmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17023150694076405052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-199888698806777952007-03-12T13:08:00.000-05:002007-03-12T13:08:00.000-05:00We had an experience somewhat akin to that, in whi...We had an experience somewhat akin to that, in which while the child was throwing his fit, screaming and the parents ignoring him, my 4yr old (aka the boy) calmly looked at hubby and said "That boy just aint right Daddy".<BR/>It's a shame when parents don't care if their children act that way... they are the same people who wonder what happened to the world...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325314091222145147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-19609385776124545762007-03-12T13:06:00.000-05:002007-03-12T13:06:00.000-05:00Too lazy to hire a babysitter (or no one will sit ...Too lazy to hire a babysitter (or no one will sit for them).
