[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At breakfast and lunch, it's always fine. Sometimes at dinner if it feels right, but it's not every day. Sometimes I'll also take my daughter out to a diner and we'll both bring books and read.[/quote]

I’m sorry that’s as bad as seeing all these kids in restaurants with iPads in their faces.    Unless it’s McDonald’s or somewhere similar I can’t see why anyone would drag books in.  I’ve never seen it.  [/quote]

No one gives a damn what you think is bad. [/quote]

People do care about your manners and judge. Is this news to you? Do you live on a deserted island?[/quote]

Why would I care about your judgement? I'm a successful adult with everything I need in life. I'm not an insecure teen girl who cares what people think.[/quote]

Because your children will be at a huge disadvantage if you don't teach them basic manners. It's astounding that I have to explain this to such a smart and successful person.  [/quote]
Just because children occasionally read at the table =/= they lack basic manners. Do you always think of things as strictly one or the other? [/quote]
