Once in awhile, but not as often as one would think, the parent will ask to sub breakfast meat for applesauce or green beans instead of fries. Absolutely not a problem.

We were both taught at an early age to appreciate going out to a nice dinner and to behave as if it wasn't our very first time out in a public place.

Unless the kids are running around the restaurant screaming and knocking over tables, playing in the toilet or eating off a stranger's table (my point is: basically being unattended) then how can anyone be angry at them for being...well...kids? (We were all there once!)

The real root of the "Kid's in Public" issue has come to light...
My feeling on this(And once again it's just my opinion), Is that the well behaved, properly supervised child is now the exception rather than the rule..
I do understand that even the most well mannered child will act up on occasion. However, it seems that most parents today are content to let thier little darlings terrorize an establishment. No, I don't think it's cute when your child runs through the dining room screaming at the top of his or her's little lungs!
I don't understand how as a parent you can accept behaviour like that in public. It makes it hard to enjoy a meal...I purposely stay away from any place that is considered "kid-friendly" for that very reason.
The one and only time my wife and I went to Red Robin I was appalled at the number of running and screaming kids...It's supposed to be a restaurant not a playground isn't it?
I may be percevied as "anti-kid" but I have no problem with children as long as they know how to act in public. If you take your child to a nice restaurant, I see nothing wrong with trying to adhere to the old "seen but not heard" addage.
Unfortunely, I feel there are more parents trying to be "buddies" with thier kids rather than being a parent. I could never imagine, when I was growing up getting away with some of the behaviour I see out of kids these days!
