[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To everyone who is saying the restaurant wants to make $, you realize at this age, 1) restaurants don't make $ off a kids meal, they make it off you ordering booze 2) some kids this age still just eat off the parents meal and don't order separately anyways, 3) the kid could probably still have a desert if you felt you needed to order something still, 4) most restaurants understand kids are finicky or have eating issues, particularly in today's day and age of severe allergies which tend to be worse in the early childhood years, 5) if the restaurant must have a family with kids they'd rather the kids are quiet and we'll behaved than having a meltdown. [b]And don't tell me your perfect angel 5+year old wouldn't have a hangry meltdown [/b]even if it didn't kill them to starve for a meal, while you teach them a lesson, I call BS. As a patron of restaurants, I'd much rather a family did what they need to do to keep a 5-year old quiet so I can enjoy my meal in peace.

Aso, context, the OP didn't bring a kid with a five course Happy Meal to Alinea, it was a BBQ ordering counter outdoors or something. Who cares? Not me! Put down the dang pitchforks![/quote]

None of this is normal.

If your 5 year old is having meltdowns at restaurants, you should stop taking them. Really? A meltdown? 5 is way too old for this. You should take your kid to see a developmental pediatrician because this is not age appropriate behavior. There is something else going on with your kid.

This, kids can get upset but don't have a full meltdown at 5. You stay home if your child cannot behave.  Simple.  You are setting this situation up.  Child knows if they don't get their way, they tantrum.  Our solution is feed before or stay home.  You can get carry out.[/quote]
