In Laredo, Texas, I’ve seen kids running wild in the bar areas of some restaurants. I’ve never seen that anywhere else, but Laredo is becoming more like Mexico every day.
If my three year-old did that, he would be taken right outside until he calms down. We’ve had to do that a number of times in the last few months, but he’s starting to get the message.
I only ask that non-parents understand that kids aren’t born perfect, and some of us are trying to do our best to discipline our kids and not disturb other patrons. We can take the child out of the restaurant, but it’s hard to prevent him from screaming as we take him out. To all other patrons, I apologize for the brief disturbance.
