| 84. We take our kids to very nice restaurants all the time. |
|
They have been going out with us since they were very small children, but a restaurant owner would never have to tell us to keep them in line. If they misbehaved, we would remove them from the restaurant and there fancy dining privileges would be over for a good while.
Never, not once, have we had a problem with our kids misbehaving in public. They know it is a privilege to go to nice restaurants with us and they act that way. It is a shame that a business owner is chastised for telling parents that they should make their kids behave in public.
