I agree with above. We ran a restaurant when my children were small & they learned that people(including them) were there to eat & behave in a quiet & well mannered way. Any child running around our restaurant would have been ejected along with its parents!
Maybe the notice ‘family friendly’ was a warning. I wholeheartedly agree that the last thing you want when eating out is to virtually be looking after other peoples children, while the parents seem to be oblivious to the annoyance their little darlings are causing. I do not go to a restaurant to have strangers children come and chat to me while I am eating .
Totally agree, after every paragraph I found myself involuntarily saying “yep” firmly in agreement. It is unacceptable to just relieve yourself of responsibility as soon as you sit down. Teach children the enjoyment of eating out. Additionally teach your child not to make a god-awful mess and then walk away from the carnage leaving poor waiting staff to clean up. I’ve seen people do it and I’ve been embarrassed by this. It’s disrespectful. I have two children and would never let them behave in such a way. Toddlers can’t help their behaviour but parents can ensure their older children don’t act in such a manner. Harrumph
