So people who have no apparent disabilities, and are paying customers, get no consideration in your view?[/quote]

Which needs are being accommodated here?

All of this talk of rights and entitlements is absurd anyway. We're talking about going out to eat at a restaurant. Customers who bring children, please try to be considerate of the other customers. Other customers, please be tolerant of parents who are probably doing what they can -- and if they're not, please recognize that this is one meal at one restaurant, not a matter of life and death.[/quote]

The problem is that some customers with children are considerate of only themselves and their families. [/quote]

Yes, some people (with children, or without children) are inconsiderate. This is a thing you have to deal with when you go out in public. How you deal with it is up to you.

Now, I figure that I will try to be considerate of other people, whether or not they seem to be considerate of me, and I hope that they will be considerate of me, even when I am inadvertently inconsiderate of them. It's a mutual thing. But other people have other opinions.[/quote]

So what do you do when other people are being inconsiderate of you, inadvertently or deliberately?[/quote]

I try to move on, instead of fixating on it. I also remind myself that everybody has hard days, and maybe this is one of them, and that they're likely not being inconsiderate at me personally, and that their behavior is not under my control, but my behavior is.[/quote]

So this is your internal monologue. Would you do anything outwardly, like ask to be moved or talk to the manager and suggest he or she talk to the parents?[/quote]
