We...I had similar feelings to you about this story. We don't take Kale to restaurants all that often because he's not one to sit in one spot for very long. All kids are different and I don't believe that their behaviour is always a direct result of how we parent them. "Rewarding" parents for their kids behaviour (like this restaurant did) sets up unfair expectations of how kids should act. I'll admit - I'm totally jealous of parents that can enjoy a good meal in a restaurant while their little one sits quietly doing the same. At the same time, now that I'm a parent and know what's it's like, I would NEVER give parents the stink eye if their kid was being loud or walking around. All parents - regardless of how their kids behave - deserve to enjoy a good meal out every now and then :) Randalin @ Harvesting Kalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086600767171526226noreply@blogger.com
