		<description>Small children at a family style place like Appleby&#039;s or Chili&#039;s is just fine, they do need to learn how to act while eating out. But I hate seeing small children at an expensive restaurant like Ruth&#039;s Chris or Capital Grille. If I&#039;m paying more than $30 per person for my meal I do not want to be serenaded by crying babies. Unfortunately this has happened to us more than once.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t mind kids and understand they are going to be cry and stuff sometimes. I do mind when their parents, who I realize are often immune to their outbursts, just eat their meal or whatever and allow the child to cry or scream. That&#039;s the method you use at home. At a restaurant, movie this impacts other patron&#039;s enjoyment and I don&#039;t think you should just ignore it.</description>

		<description>Ronnie, this is so cute, the pictures are adorable. I use to go through the same thing when my girls were younger and I would get so stressed, but I noticed the more we went out the better they got, not just dining, but at the mall and other places too. I don&#039;t get bothered at restaurants when I hear the little ones crying because that&#039;s what little ones do and I really don&#039;t mind when I&#039;m in a family friendly restaurant, I know I have other dining options when I want a quiet evening.</description>

		<description>@Happinessexpress- I&#039;m with that, I&#039;m not crazy about taking kids out until they are really old enough to be able sit still through the meal. I do have kids and I still don&#039;t like when people bring their kids to a restaurant or the movies and the kids are acting crazy making a bunch of noise and the parents just sit there like everything is everything.

That&#039;s why I remove my kids if they do get wild, it&#039;s out of respect for everyone else who paid their money. Same thing at church, I really don&#039;t play there and hit the eject button with the quickness so my baby isn&#039;t distracting and taking away from the service.</description>

		<description>First off, I want to tell you how beautiful your family is. 

My comment is about people who bring their kids into eating establishments. I think that if parents knew that their kids were going to make all of that noise they wouldn&#039;t bring them in the restaurant. This seems to the case with our own. I can not speak for the other side. I do have to admit, it drives me up the wall when they start going crazy. i went to lunch once with my friend and her child and she went embarrassingly nuts. I sat across the table from the white friend the way your husband sat across from you. It was a wonderful picture that conveyed just as I felt. I told my Caucasian friend please take your child into the bathroom and she came out of the bathroom, smiling. Her child apologized promptly. Don&#039;t know what she did. More parents should remove their child instead of allowing them to make a scene in the public. That&#039;s what makes me angry. But then a gain, I don&#039;t have children. However my husband and I agreed we would not take our child to a public restaurant until he or she is three years of age.</description>

		<description>I agree with all.  The pics are priceless.  Hang in there Dad...it does get better!  Yes, take the kids to a family friendly restaurant.  It is very important that they learn at an early age how they are expected to act.  My child is now 20, but I still remember the days of throwing things (he&#039;s a lefty, too), crying, running thru the dining area..etc.  But stick with it.  There&#039;s a lot to learn as a parent and as a child.  There has to be a balance of activity--going to the park, going to church and learning to sit still, going out to eat in different environments.  Let them experience it all.  Take a deep breath and don&#039;t worry so much about what other people think.  They&#039;ve been exactly where you are in one form or another.</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s a MUST to get the kids accustomed to dining out. It&#039;s just like anything else, set the rules, set the example and go from there. It&#039;s difficult in the beginning, but well worth it!  Well.....................until your 10 year thinks that she should be able to order an entire crab dinner off the menu!!!!</description>

		<description>@King James - Not too often to restaurants. We go to church and little league, and barbeques, and parks and things like that often.  But as for restaurants and movies, we don&#039;t take the entire crew very often.</description>

		<description>Cindy, 
I totally agree with you..the breakdowns are mostly due to the kids being tired or hungry or just restless because the food is taking a long time to come out and they are tired of coloring.</description>
