I wasn’t expecting them to advertise it, just like this guy probably doesn’t have a big cross in his bakery, they wouldn’t know until they tried to order.

Define artist.

Two things worth noting.

I used to work at WIC, and word gets around real fast about which places are WIC-friendly or not. The store still makes money from WIC, so they can miss out on all of those formula sales for being classist dickbags.

Found the asshole parent.

There is no one so righteously indignant as a parent when they have been ignoring their child’s inappropriate behavior and someone else makes them aware of it. The server or another dinner could have said something, but I’d bet good money the parent would have been upset about being told.

The staff got the chance to deal with such an obvious problem on their own initiative, if they didn’t then OP is under no obligation to give them a second chance. Restaurants need to start refusing service to families with noisy (or worse, stinky) children.

My kids used to call out other kids for bad behavior in restaurants. I once had a parent ask me if I thought it was appropriate for my children to be telling off other children (the implication was “bullying”). I said that as they (the parents) were oblivious to the disruption their children were causing and therefore…

If I messed up my mom either dragged me out of the restaurant or my dad whooped me in the parking lot in front of God and everybody. It only took a couple of times (and I’m not advocating for spanking, of course) but I learned how to behave.

She looks and sounds like a recurring villain in the Handmaids Tale.

Honestly, what happened to RAISING children? We would have been sitting in the damn car so fast our heads would spin. Poor Mom - but she only had to do it once per kid and we were very well behaved after. Nothing like everyone else getting a treat that you’re denied due to your own behavior.

Or certain sites like The Root that don’t want you posting there unless you fit a certain demographic. Which I’m fine with but I don’t go anywhere I am not welcome. So, this is the first time I’ve seen this because it’s on a site I frequent, not one that actively wants me to stay away.

It’s not an unprecedented idea. Valerie Harper left her own 80s sitcom “Valerie”in a contract dispute after the second year. By then, the “family” (particularly “son” Jason Bateman) had gained sufficient popularity to keep it going without her. They “killed” her off, brought in Sandy Duncan as her sister (the aunt now…

Also, her mother is something of an expert in this area.

I can understand her disappointment. I believe Gilbert was the one who really rallied the original cast and pitched the reboot. This version was more her baby than Roseanne’s. That said, it was never going to get far with Roseanne involved, and they should have all seen this coming.

Agreed. I thought when this thing was announced that the reboot would’ve been better without Roseanne. Dan was supposed to be dead at the end of the first run thanks to some straight-up soap opera horseshit, so why not have Roseanne gone as well? She and “new husband” moved to a survivalist camp in Montana or…

Someone was suggesting that they could just kill off Barr’s character and do the 2nd season that way, but she’d still be making money off of it, and yeah, have her name right there on the screen every week. This was definitely a Faustian bargain for everyone who was involved with this reboot, given what was publicly…

Chelsea is a master of the unfailingly polite “fuck you.” She’s kind of my hero.

I initially felt bad for all the people on that show who also lost their jobs because of this, but you actually have a good point. Her racist, hateful rants aren’t anything new and can’t possibly have been a surprise to anyone who hitched their wagon to the show. You’ve helped me come around to your way of thinking on…

I’m not sure whether to laugh or scream at Roseanne’s apology for what she said about Valerie Jarrett. Saying Valerie is the child of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes was not a fucking joke about her looks. It was an intentional invocation of the racist idea that black and brown folks are more ape than…
