I think for me, I take into account the setting. I mean, if we're out for breakfast at the diner, and there are noisy happy kids, then oh well. If we're out paying $200 for a splurge dinner, then I'm going to get annoyed if I hear a lot of squealing and screaming. Because in my eyes, we're paying for the setting and…

Hey, if kids can behave,I'm all for them being there. Also, now that I'm in an actual civilized area, I hope to try a Top Chef place!

This.

Exactly. The "kids will be kids!" response just angers me. Sure, kids will be kids. Let them be kids at Chuckie Cheese's and let us enjoy our dinner in peace.

Let me add, because I can't edit - of course I'm not singling out kids with disabilities or anything like that. I don't think it's parents of kids with disabilities/disorders who are going to that really nice place we love for dinner, anyway. It tends to be the yuppie parents who seem to want to prove how awesome…

Of course kids act up in public sometimes. And of course that doesn't make someone a "bad" parent. But if the kids act up in public and disrupt other people, then it's the job of the parents to remove the kids from the situation and not just let them carry on acting horrible.

No! But..I can totally see that happening.

I'm perfectly ok with doctors venting. As you said, they're human too. No big deal.

It did, didn't it? Something very "Daytona Beach" about it.

I have earrings made out of walrus penis bone. Not really related, but sorta.

That....is wonderful.

God, seriously. I thought the era of "women hate to eat in public" and "Women prefer teeny portions" was on the wane.

I don't know. It seems quite the popular thing to hate her these days.

I don't understand how any woman my age (35) would NOT want to go to this.

I love everything about your reply.

A-effing-greed. I just really don't need to see actual shit or any sort of naked baby genitalia/ass.

SanctiMommyjacking! Well played.

I giggled through this entire thing. I'm off to search the webs for more clips of them now, in fact. But I guess "Haters gonna hate" as the kids say. There's always someone who says that someone else could have done it better.

OH COME ON.
