I do not love your child...

[ItalianScallion]

One of the greatest truths I've read:

"We're so preoccupied with protecting children from disappointment and discomfort that we're inadvertently excusing them from growing up."

Me, too! Luckily for me, my Mom taught me "the look" (she was a Master) and I have used it often and well at home and at work. She must have taught it pretty well because my "look" even works on the challenging kids. It's especially gratifying when they check to see if I'm watching before they try something because they don't want to get "the look". I do love the little darlings...

You wanted them, deal with them.

Great closing argument from the article.

Amen to that.

That's probably true, along with the excitement of being outside their norm. However, instead of meaning that other diners need to be patient and understanding, it means Mommy and Dad need to keep Jr. at home until he is old enough to not be upset by an outing.

With some people, this means their whole lifetime.

If this were law, I would still be living at home in the basement posting under a screen name like no nuggets or something while cutting and pasting artlicles that prove Im an idiot.

thank God this is not the case.
