[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I probably wouldn't have brought a tablet either, but I am not exactly sure how you all expected a bunch of 18 month olds or whatever to "socialize" in confined chairs at a restaurant.

I think that is odder than bringing entertainment for them. It is not like they are on a playground or a floor where they can play...

Seriously. How did you envision this going down?[/quote]

I have been in a moms groups since our kids were weeks old. Five moms, five kids. We’ve dined out a thousand times without electronics and live to tell the tale. We engage, hold and talk to each other’s kids (they are 6 now). We talk. The kids shared rattles and crayons and books and cars. Now they share stories and conversations.

I think it’s sad when I see a toddler stumbling around Target with his head buried in a tablet, or a table full of grown ups with kids at the same table with headphones on and mesmerized by a screen. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR CHILDREN.

Don’t try to defend it. None of us grew up with it. It’s lazy parenting at its worst.
