[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought about taking my kids to the Palm. But then I got turned off by some of the other diners, snapping their fingers for the waiter, saying "Gimme the lobster," letting their kids run around the restaurant because "we're regulars and they know how much we tip."

Instead, we opted for the neighborhood potluck. Everyone's invited and we all pitch in. Sure, there's usually that family that lets their kid double-dip her chip, or the ones who never offer to host. But for the most part, we show our kids how much fun dining together can be. [/quote]

Hey, smug potlucker: no kisses for me for your nastiness about Palm diners.

And I know some neighborhood potlucks are awesome. Others  are crowded and all the food is pre-packaged so as to comply with governmental guidelines. And our neighborhood potluck? Every now and then someone gets shot there. No thanks.

When you choose to move somewhere where the potlucks are a little less warm and fuzzy, then you can judge those who choose a restaurant.

Everyone has different circumstances and most parents are just doing the best they can for their kids.
