Didn’t say it was acceptable, just predictable. Everyone thinks their kids are exceptional! Everyone, so if everyone is exceptional, then no one is. Get it! Both my sisters in law just think their grandkids are the bomb! Their grandkids are freaking obnoxious! I have a right to have an adult conversation. So I just don’t go. I don’t care where they go. I won’t be there.
I think you should suit yourself and go where you are comfortable. Life is short so you should do what makes you happy.
We had no trouble finding places where we were welcome, and we succeeded in raising children who are comfortable in a wide variety of environments and who respect other people’s rights in public places. That was what we wanted to achieve and we did.
I respond to people who lump any group and say for example all children can’t behave in restaurants, all women are catty, all Jews are money grubbing, etc etc etc.
