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]

Translated, that means you are a doormat and would allow a 6 year old child to continue to disrupt your restaurant meal.  Do you think you are not allowed to have nice things, or that you have no control over what happens to you?[/quote]
NP. You are an aggressive nutjob.

Those of you talking about tripping kids and accosting parents have not met the right parents. The last person who approached my kid aggressively while I was trying to address my kid's misbehavior got slapped. No kidding.

I can't tell your race or ethnicity, but I can tell from this that you are lower middle class or working class. This is not middle class or upper middle class behavior.[/quote]
Don't quit your day job, honey. I'm a lawyer from an upper middle class background who will not hesitate to defend my child from a rapidly approaching lunatic. Some of you will find yourselves floored with a jab one of these days.[/quote]

No you misunderstand. You are from the lower class regardless of your income or education because you jab strangers who approach you when you are ineffectively disciplining your child.[/quote]
NP. There must've been a few pages missing in that discount bin etiquette book you are relying on. The first rule of etiquette is that it is poor etiquette to call out other people's taste, class, or etiquette level. In short, you don't know a thing about class.[/quote]
