Another example of very bad parenting - Page 8

'Cause some people are ignorant, arrogant, and/or aren't worthy of raising human children.

The same goes for those raising animal kids.

No living being is ever born "bad"; they're raised that way. It's nurture over nature.

Did you ever stop to think........maybe the parent didn't see the child with their finger up their nose???????..................................raven

They were following the hostess into the table. The kids were in front of the parents as they walked in - how could they not see their kids touching other people's food as they passed it.

My ex use to let his kids run wild in the super market. It drove me crazy but I had no say because he was afraid to discipline them for fear they'd want to go home to their mom. One summer at the fair there were large murals made of grains displayed and one of them ran his hand right through one of them.....I about died.

True story! A waitress at our local Pizza Hut delivered a pizza to the wrong table. After the kids has sneezed and whatever on it, she discovered her mistake and delivered it to the right table where the 2 elderly patrons got bronchitis. This was in the local paper. Cannot remember how the incident came to light?

Years ago, if your kids were acting up in a restaurant....you took them to the bathroom Wink

Now.....you could get prosecuted for that. I took one of my grandchildren into Wal-Mart's and she wouldn't stay with me. She was about 3 at the time. I caught up with her and said, "if you leave Grandma one more time, we will leave immediately and not stop at Arby's". She put me to the test and I walked out with her and went home. No toy....I put it back. It only took once. Her love of Arby's and toys kept her from doing it again! Ha!!!! At that age....they need a little incentive. I have never once had a problem with her since. If we could only get it in our heads to do what is best for the child ....not what is easiest for us. I actually hear mother's say...."but I don't want them to not like me". How sad is that? Kids raising kids. That's not to say that some parents get it. I see them around, too.....but more and more I am seeing parents who do what they like and what is fun and easiest for them....I know a psychologist who said to me once. ... Our parents were adults at 16, us at more like 21, our kids at 30, and their kids will be 50 before they grow up ${#emotions_dlg.scared}$ .........Oh, dear.

I have a restaurant pet peeve- kids running around tables & the mess they leave for the servers to clean up.. I always picked up after my son.. hate to see that food all over the floor and the parents just leave it for someone else to pick up...

I was once in a restaurant and a child was allowed to run around freely, she ended up tripping a waitress who has a large tray of food and the food went everywhere. many patrons had food all over them. It was in other patrons food and all over the floor and the tables. As I recall I believe the waitress was injured as well from the fall.

We had dinner at a local casual italian restaurant last night. The tables are small if there are 4 people so they put a small tray holder beside the table and place the pizza on there. At one point a family with young , <5 yr old, children came in and as the kids were passing people's pizzas they were touching them. One customer asked for a new pizza as he said the little girl had her fingers in her nose then put them on his pizza. I don't blame him at all. Of course the restaurant was happy to give him another pizza, and inform the parents they would be charged for it. Why on earth would anyone think it was ok to let their kids do that?

And hurt their self esteem?

${#emotions_dlg.thumbup}$ I always love your answers!

I have to agree with HH, my husband & I try to avoid any eatery that is family dining because parents just let there kids run around disturbing all the guests while they are talking amongst themselves. Our kids are grown, been there, done that, raised our kids, so we both have little tolerance for screaming kids & parents that allow them to be unruly! We've experienced it & the staff can't do anything about it, while they are concerned to lose the bad customers & get bad reviews on social media & uproar from the bad parents. Instead they lose the good customers & get bad reviews from on yelp. We'll never go back to that establishment, & I'm sure neither will all the others that were there......except the unruly ones!!!

Wait? I just read they charged the parents of the little girl for the pizza.. how did that go over with the parents?

Who cares?

The parents are responsible for what their kids do...the restaurant is not, so why should the restaurant have to pay for it?

There is no way in h*** that I would've put my fingers in a pizza as a little kid, because I was taught that I was ABSOLUTELY NOT allowed to do so...and it probably saved me from having burnt fingers.
