I too,have often...Thank you, thank you, thank you. I too,have often wondered what had happened to manners in this country but like you said, many parents aren't teaching any so the question then becomes - WHY? Don't they care? It is so frustrating. Even at ball games people have to be told to remove caps during the playing of the National Anthem. That was one of the first things I ever learned in my life. No one had to tell me to do it after that. As for restaurants, there should be restaurants for kids, restaurants for adults, or in some cases as your suggest, separate sections.Irvinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484280173640422257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-1132018810845572772005-11-14T17:40:00.000-08:002005-11-14T17:40:00.000-08:00AMEN to that.... so well said...I have said, when ...AMEN to that.... so well said...<BR/><BR/>I have said, when they wanted to have no smoking section... that they should have no children section. Maybe have the resturant in half... Family Room and a room for the rest of us. <BR/>This was with my own children too. My kids didn't see the inside of a regular resturant until they were in their teens. <BR/>I know I will be thought of as a horror child hating person. But I have paid good money for dinners that I didn't get to enjoy because of screaming babies, child kicking the back of my booth, or child throwing food. To the tune of the parents saying sweetly, honey don't do that.... and most of the time not even saying I'm sorry to us. My kids were home with a babysitter... I wanted peace and quiet. And no, going at a late hour didn't guarntee it either. <BR/>With a Family Dining, the kids can do their thing with other families around doing theirs. And we can be having a quiet peaceful meal in ours. <BR/>Well said, Dogwalking.Word Tosserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519547102435672497noreply@blogger.com
