When our kids were young and we went out to eat we would hire a

My father expected me to behave properly in a restaurant, so I did.

When you were 2?

What's so odd about that? My son caused no problems in restaurants at that
age. He yacked a lot, but he was rarely loud. No tantrums, no crying and
screaming. But, his nap vs fun schedule was easy to work around. We knew
when he normally got tired & cranky, and tried to avoid taking him out at
those times. Some parents are too dumb to spot the pattern.


Maybe you just did not notice it. When I am in an upscale restaurant for a
later evening meal that is costing me in the range of a $100 I do not want
someone's child inflicted on me. I paid for babysitters when they were
young and there are appropriate places to take you child to for dinner, but
not at 9 pm and the Carnelian room.
