Little kids getting stir-crazy from having to sit in their seat for 5 freakin' minutes then running around the restaurant like it's a Chuck-E-Cheese. And since it's a buffet, it's not just the waiters' and waitresses' (or whatever they're called at buffets) problem either. I always have to make sure there's no kids coming so I don't drop my plate. :PHaaylshttp://haayls.deviantart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-53951105877995221802011-09-07T18:03:24.333-04:002011-09-07T18:03:24.333-04:00Can't you quote a "Fire Marshall" sa...Can't you quote a "Fire Marshall" saying blocking the entrance is not allowed? My daughter allowed her 2.5 yr old to run half a block ahead of her in Brooklyn, saying he would be okay as I was dismayed and in fear for his life. What if a car jumped the curb? What is one of the people carrying large bags or boxes whacked him and knocked him down? What if she lost sight of him for an instant and someome snatched him? <br /><br />She thought I was too worrisome when I suggested she demand he stay withing an arm's reach. Well, she and her two siblings were not allowed to run so far away that I could not reach them with a giant step and grab, just in case of danger to themselves or if they were in the way of other persons. I watched others side-step and he zoomed along, never watching anything.<br /><br />Sorry for the second post, but this is a sore spot of mine...parents who do not wish to control their children in public.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-74877182260635814942011-09-07T16:44:01.141-04:002011-09-07T16:44:01.141-04:00Those sophisticated Europeans...Those sophisticated Europeans...LSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-25594125285500960362011-09-07T15:13:49.365-04:002011-09-07T15:13:49.365-04:00You say cultural, I say clueless.

That would entitle you to voice your opinions on their slack parental skills. Otherwise you're babysitting, which means an extra $20 (per hr., 1 hr min.) plus tip. And what would happen if she disappeared, they sue the restaurant?Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16157968454131571365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-49481592274065695942011-09-07T15:10:10.182-04:002011-09-07T15:10:10.182-04:00I don't think it is cute to let children wande...I don't think it is cute to let children wander around. Besides wandering in a place they can get hurt, they are in the servers' way. However, a kid toddling to my table where I am expected to suspend eating to have a conversation with the kid annoys me and just encourages the child. I HATE the parents who smile and think it is soooo cute that adults who feel they must converse with a 14 month old is appropriate for the time and place. I have started telling children to go back to their parents and to get into their chair. I don't care what the parents think. <br /><br />I am sorry, but just because it is McDonald's or some other chain of fast food, roaming children are off the charts of what is right. Take them home and let them walk around YOUR house with sticky fingers, food dripping from their mouths and YOU talk to them. but, be careful not to teach them manners as you speak.<br /><br />The parents are the ones at fault, not the children. Yes, parents, they will listen and mind. Just keep talking and let them run outside, not indoors.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-74601392951485055102011-09-07T13:44:34.389-04:002011-09-07T13:44:34.389-04:00Now I want some danish.

My sister's back was to her kid. I could see the waiters and other people dodging her, but I was seated tightly against the wall with people on either side of me, so couldn't easily get up. I told my sister that she shouldn't let her daughter walk around like that. Her response: "Oh, she can't escape; the door is closed." Arghhhh!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
