When we were young and thought the whole world revolved around our toddler firstborn, we let him run around casual restaurants. He would go up to other tables and smile and wave, but we stopped when we realized he was hindering the wait staff, and perhaps bothering other people, despite the fact everyone smiled back at him.

We never let our second do the same, since we learned our lesson with the first.

However, I have to admit that when a darling little child sidles up to our table and gives us a smile wreathed in ketchup, I melt :-)

Good of you to admit that. Of course he was bothering people; you don't think smiles mean he wasn't?[/quote]

PP you were responding to - not at first, [b]I was so happy people thought he was cute[/b]! I am not from this country and this two-faced American way is at odds with the more direct dealings of my native country.

But now I know!

You being self-absorbed has nothing to do with your country of origin.[/quote]

Oh of course: I wrote that I was young and thought the world revolved around my kid. I accept all your criticism!

And I have warm feelings for little kids running around me in public places! Just because I started teaching my kids not to do this, it doesn't mean I resent others letting their kids run around. They're all so cute and joyful! I don't get this frustration some of you are feeling. None of this is a big deal. Enjoy your life.

Jesus Christ. Why are you being such a b****. The poster admitted that she was young and learned her lesson. I swear. Post like this meet to me prove that if you're not perfect from the get-go than your may as well be a big pile of flaming dog poo in some people's eyes. Jesus[/quote]

Why are you involving yourself in something that doesn't concern you? You are not pp and have no business answering for her.  If you're going to butt in learn to do so without cussing.

Since you are taking this so personally I am left to assume you are as self absorbed as pp. Admitting wrongdoing doesn't absolve you from the consequences of your actions. Having manners and realizing the world doesn't revolve around you and your child has nothing to do with perfection , your country of origin or being a first time parent.[/quote]
