I recently had a dining experience ruined by some parents who wouldn’t control their little f*****s.
That’s why I usually head for the bar rather than the dining room. Since it was a Mexican restaurant, that would be ‘la cantina’.
There is an old saying about traveling: there is First Class and then there is ‘with children’. I would add dining out alongside traveling in that old saying.
Yep.

This passes for news in the UK? I think Molly’s parent’s are looking to market their little darling.
I'm pleased and proud to say that my daughter could go out with us from the time she was born, through the present (she recently turned 16) without a single problem during any of that time. She was quite well-behaved at 2 years. It's definitely the exception, in my experience, though -- lots of other parents seem to have difficulty knowing when to take their unruly offspring out of public view and hearing. Or at least how to shut them the hell up successfully! ;-)
The parents didn't seat their unruly child in the middle of truly elite fine diners like yourself...
The couple believe her mild protests triggered the shocking comment - despite being seated in the advertised 'kids' zone'

You and me both! What really peturbed us was we were not in a “family” resturant but a nicer place trying to celebrate our anniversary. Apparently the parents wanted to enjoy the nice resturant but didn’t want to spring for a babysitter? I thought it was very selfish of them and after about 45 minutes of listening to screming kids the manager finally asked them to do something, of course they acted like it was an unreasonable request! *rolleyes*
