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.


That's what I recall doing when our kids were little. There are places to
take toddlers and there are places not to take them. Expecting them to be
perfectly behaved at that age is unrealistic and frankly not good for the
kid, IMO. Part of the learning process is misbehaving and learning the
consequences. A kid that never needs to be diciplined by avoiding
situations where they require it is going to have a tough time later in
life, IMO.

That's why I didn't give him a loaded handgun until he was three.
