[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my kids has run around restaurants in the past (but is mostly just inappropriately loud at times due to his disability), and my other two kids have been better behaved.  But I am not "letting" the boy run around or raise his voice.  He is a sentient being.  I do not control what he thinks or does at all times.  If you do not understand that, you either do not have kids or are raising robots that will go totally wild the moment they get away from your protective gaze.  Thank you for your patience, and if you are not patient, I really do not care because my money is just as good as yours when my spouse and I are dining out and we probably tip better for any inconvenience of the server.  If you want to be away from children, you still have plenty of dining options in the DMV.  [/quote]

You win the SN martyr queen crown today PP[/quote]

If you have kids, perhaps you should teach them to have some compassion for their classmates with special needs (or start by developing some compassion yourself).  And if you want to dine out without any risk of interacting with an unruly child, go to a place where there is no kids' menu or eat any time after 8 pm.  [/quote]

My children and I  have compassion for all of their classmates, whether special needs or not.  One way in which they have learned compassion is to refer to themselves and their classmates as "children" rather than the gutter term "kids."   Although I appreciate your desire to dictate to others -- being the martyr queen that you are -- we choose to dine where and when we want.   You apparently do the same without any of the compassion you recommend to others.  [/quote]

Referring to someone as a 'special needs martyr queen' is not compassionate. So, you are setting a terrible example for your kids. And how is 'kids' a gutter term while 'SN martyr queen' apparently is not in your world? Seems inconsistent. [/quote]
