Bossy beyotch. I pity your kids.
i pity my kids at times too. but they listen and they are usually pretty well behaved because they know the rules. and they know that fussing doesn't get them anywhere.

That's because they don't have to. You do enough of it on your own.

You CAN'T really mean this statement because it sounds to me like you are endorsing bullying!!!

You are dumb, if you read Mitzi's (not Mitzis) posts, my kids are grown up. Have you EVER been in Larry's on a weekend night, when they have the gaming things and whatever else they do (I'm NOT putting it down)? The environment is tweens/teens/very young adults and it is not exactly QUIET (not quit). Before you start calling others and little children dumb, you should learn to spell somewhat (not some what).

Man, I'm not that old am I?
Whatever happened to "children should be seen but not heard"?
BTW, I do not mind well behaved children in public settings, but even a well behaved child has an "off moment" and it is up to the parents / care-givers to resolve the situation. If the parent (caregiver in the OPs case) is unable to act accordingly and hush their adorable sweetheart, then they should expect 1) rude comments, 2) evil looks and more.
From my experience, I personally dislike children at sit-down restaurants. I go out to relax / have a night off, and not have a child twist around and stare at me, ask me questions, scream and cry and whine, nor sit in their booth behind me and kick and bounce and kick and bounce, making my experience uncomfortable. Get a babysitter and enjoy your night out as well. I expect children at Chick-fil-a, McDonalds et al and deal with it, but shouldn't have to deal with it in other situations. They are not my children.
At times I've asked to be seated in the bar area of a restaurant, and even there there are children. What kind of genius takes their child to a bar area to wait for a table elsewhere or eat?

My God no, I'm not endorsing bullying! I'm saying kids can say mean things and name call. Not saying it's right, but they always have. He's saying it's okay for adult to do it.

Seriously? Thanks, I had been considering a cruise, but now I think I'm going to stick with adults only resorts.

Okay then. I'm stating a fact..you are stupid.
I guess you would have been pissed when my niece blew her straw cover over the seat onto the old peoples table. When she went to apologize, the old lady told her it was okay because she does it too.
This was at Ruby Tuesdays.
i agree, when you are in a resturant type setting and you have kids with you then you need to keep them under control, ie fairly quiet and content and not bugging other people. however there are places where you might take your kid (ie Wal-Mart or some other store) where the best option for you as a parent is to let the kid fuss. by doing nothing, not trying to reason with them, placate (spelling???) them, or remove them from the store, you show them that their fussing/whinning will not get them what they want. do this a couple of times and the behavior usually stops. but if you go running from a store every time a child acts up all you are doing is showing them that hey if you act up we can leave. thats not really teaching them how to act in public, thats just setting them up for future failure.

Most ships now have adult only areas. Ours did not. And yep, after 10 at night, children were at the bars getting sodas.

Again, I go back to your original statement
Kids calling each other names and being mean, okay
"Being mean" implies an action such as pushing, taunting, etc.
Calling names and taunting are classic bullying cases. For you to say that it is okay...then saying "they always have" implies that bullies have always existed (which they have) and there is nothing that can be done to control the situation.
