[quote=Anonymous]Yesterday we celebrated father's day in the AM with my DH and then he had work to do so I took the kids out and we stopped for dinner on the way home.  The kids were hungry, and mainly for the benefit of fellow diners, to keep the calm until the food arrived, I put my iphone on the table with the volume down and a movie.

The woman at the table next me there with her husband and her two kids watched me do it and then turned to her husband and made a comment about using the iphone and I could see the superiority and judgement just dripping off her.

Honestly - is raising children such a competition now that we have lost all our graces and we audibly comment about people's parenting while they are sitting right in front of them?

I did not say anything because my kids and I had a nice time at the zoo and I did not want to make a scene.  The whole weekend we were busy with outdoor activities and frankly I do not have a problem with a little screen time if it means that my kids are quiet and don't disturb others.  After the food arrived we put the phone away and chatted and went home and caught fireflies and ended on a nice note.

I am still offended though and I am posting this in the hopes that she may read it and know what an ass I think she is.
