[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brilliant SIL taught me about keeping a ziploc bag of crayons, coloring books, sticker books and a thomas the tank engine catalog for my toddler when we went to restaurants. 
Always got compliments on how well behaved they were.
But no, it as the ziploc bag they needed to compliment.[/quote]

Ha.  We called them “sugar toys” - little dump trucks and the like that we would bring out at the table while waiting for the food.  Open the sugar packets and have at it![/quote]

Rude, wasteful and gross.  Who does that?[/quote]

You’re a riot.

Answer - many creative, resourceful people in the good old days before toddlers (like yours, obviously) became screen zombies![/quote]

No.

-Someone who worked in restaurants where a holes like you let your kids make a mess. (And now I have a DCUM prestigious job after going to an HYP and can smell this kind of entitlement a mile away during the hiring process.)[/quote]

+1 yeah when my kid starts playing with salt/pepper/sugar we give her a screen to play the same "educational" games she plays at school[/quote]

Hilarious to think the only two options are "let your kids make a giant mess" and "put them in front of a screen."

OP I'm with you, I also judge.[/quote]

You're misreading

When DD starts playin with salt/sugar/pepper and won't stop it means we have already tried:
1. Having her simply sit with and converse with us
2. Color/play with toys
3. Take a walk outside and come back

It usually means she's a bit wired and dysregulated. We try to prevent this from happening, but it does, and in those situations (maybe once a month or every 2 months) I really dgaf if a stranger has a problem with her screen use. That's a them problem.[/quote]
