+1.  You are not "placating" patrons of a restaurant.  You are acting like a decent civilized adult.  You don't get to say f-it I don't feel like dealing with my inlaws, so I am going to make up my own rules about what is ok and to hell with how it impacts anyone else.  [b]The level of entitlement is insane.[/b]  [/quote]

Indeed it is. There's PP saying:

1. I have a kid with special needs.
2. I have in-laws who don't make this easy.
3. I do my best.

And here are all the DCUM posters saying: you're doing it wrong, you ought to do what I tell you, I have a right to eat at a restaurant without disturbance from other people. Unbelievable entitlement.[/quote]

Nonsense.  Her "best" is a giant middle finger to everyone else.  Sorry neither your SN kids nor even more so pushy in-laws allow you to screw everyone else, I am going to do what works best for me and everyone else can suck it.

Her "best" would be growing a pair and standing up to her inlaws who are also presumably adults.  Her "best" would be having one spouse stay home with the kid, or her "best" would be taking the kid outside if clearly can't handle the restaurant and not brining him back just because the inlaws want a picture.

And it is not just an inconvenience to diners.  A running toddler in a restaurant is a danger to servers, other diners, and to the toddler himself.  Saying you are doing your "best" doesn't change any of that.[/quote]
