Okay if you are not caught up go read THIS and then come back.

*tuh*

In my opinion, that diner owner should not be sorry. I am ever in Maine, I will be stopping into her diner. After 15 minutes, I would've yelled at the parents. I'm sorry but children do not learn how to behave in public if you allow them to go crazy. If they don't feel well, stay home. That is Not fair to others trying to eat, shop, ect in peace.

Three things I Hate, Yes Hate for children to do in Restaurants, Planes & Stores.
1.Irate Screaming
2. Running Around
3. Kneeling in a chair 

I'm not saying that children should not be allowed to dine at restaurants. I just think they should not be allowed to run a muck in public.  I'm not saying you should vigilante smack any & all unruly children. That is going to far. I actually don't talk to the children of strangers. After I survey the situation (The child might have special needs or the child is screaming because the parent disciplined them, in which I understand & say nothing) I speak to the parent(s). Recently in a Big Box store, two children kept running in front of everyone's carts causing a ruckus. Finally I turned to the parents or adults they were with and said, "This is how your kids are going to get knocked the heck out off. They are running in front of everyone causing problems." I walked off not worrying about their reactions. I just know those little girls were not running around anymore. 

And this is not a race or culture issue. In my black family, I have a younger cousin who kneeled everywhere she ate. One family event, I made her sit on her bottom and I never said it again. Even my nephew has to be told to stand where I can see him from time to time in the store. So before someone say that it's that race or that race let stop you, Every Race of Children acts up in public from time to time. It is up to the Adults to help them to behave properly.

That is one of the reasons why I am Not a parent. Parenting, in my opinion is the raising the next generation to be viable citizens of the world. That is a daunting task. And letting a child scream for almost an hour at a restaurant is not leading her to be a good inhabitant. Ignoring cries also says those parents are selfish people also. They were not being fair to the other diners or the owner. The diner owner didn't curse at the child. She didn't even put them out. *slow clap" to Darla Neugebauer. Yes, it is easier when somebody else does it. But you did it and I respect you for it. 

As Always, Talking to You in Adult Terms
