I've got bad news. The Krystal is not that nice of a place.

When on vacation when mine were young, I'd pick up food from restaurants I'd otherwise eat at, and eat at the hotel. It's better for everyone involved.

We only take ours to kid friendly places even though ours are generally well-behaved in public. I don't want to be THAT parent in nice places.

My folks took my siblings and I to nice places all the time.

Usually under the threat of corporal punishment for misbehaving.

Nobody tested Mom and Dad in public

Was in a restaurant last night with my wife, one table behind is us was a family with 3 small kids. One of the kids screamed and whined the entire time. Never once took him outside and wore him out. Why do people not parent anymore?

If my parents wanted to go somewhere non-kid friendly then they either got a babysitter or didn't go.

Some parents have a very real problem with understanding that when you have kids your life becomes about your kids. And that in turn means you don't get to do some of the shite you want to do.

I don't let things like that bother me. We were all kids once and most have or had kids. No big deal. Now loud, obnoxious, adults in these establishments...

Because there is always some a-hole with his or her fingers on the phone ready to dial CPS no matter how well deserved the arse-whooping is.

depends on the kid and their age.

Our 3 year old. Kid friendly places only.

The 6 year old (almost 7), we can take him to an O'Charleys/Fridays/Applebees kind of place and he is fine. If they have a kids menu, I feel its appropriate and he behaves (under fear of death).

Anything that takes longer, has a more sophisticated menu, or just requires some decorum beyond what a well behaved 6 year old can muster, we wont take him to. Wouldnt be fun for him either.

Every once in awhile, you mistake a fancy place for a middle of the road place. Disney is one place you can do that. They have all kinds of restaurants there especially in the hotel complexes. If so, we make the best of it and count on the kiddo to behave, which he does.

mine would take me and my sister to eat but we were well behaved because the belt was coming if we didn't.

these people brought a 3 and 5 year old to hibachi. The grandmother did make them apologize after the fact but its probably because she heard me putting them down multiple times

that is why you take them out of the place as soon as they act up. the other parent/grandparent gets the food to go and then when they get home they get the arse beating of a life time. If they are the grandkids then the parents should receive the belt as well.

If I was ever that kid, my dad would grab me by my ear and take me outside...

when we come back, I'd be that very quiet kid biting his lip and fidgeting with his food.

that's parenting.

My parents had this little phrase, "Do we need to go the car?". It was pretty effective. I can count on one hand how many times myself or my brother earned a trip to the car while out.

And I expect people to bring their kids to family oriented restaraunts, kid movies, and family places. I wouldn't go into an Applebees or even a nice place at Disney and expect to not deal with kids. Or better yet, when vacationing in an area that I know families are going to be around.

That said, when I go to a nice date night type restaraunt or to an R rated movie, I would hope I wouldn't have to deal with someone's crying newborn or toddler running around. It's really not hard to figure out what's appropriate for kids and what isn't.

I don't think that's too much to ask of parents. It certainly wasn't too much to ask of mine growing up.

My kids acted up in the past more with the grandparents than with us, because they know they could get away with it. My husband and I were both spanked as kids, but they refuse to do the same to the grandkids. We now have the talk with the kids before eating with the grandparents that they'd better act right or else they won't like what comes later.
