This was Saturday night dinner
I think I can imagjne the sounds coming from that booth, Having just flown to Europe seated 2 rows in front of a woman with an obviously disabled child who loudly groaned, lowed, moaned and shouted every couple of minutes for almost 3 hours ( before merciful sleep descended on him) ... i thought of the mother as a saint and we all tolerated this because flying is a public accomodation. Inflicting this on people in a restaurant: totally selfish and unnecessary,
.
When Yahoo published this there were a thousand comments. I read several dozen of the most rated and not one supported the family. So its not a “ liberal” thing, its a parenting thing.
I agree, this is most likely was a parenting thing because the particular disability at issue is not associated with the behavior you describe. We used to take our children to “dinner” at 4 pm to lower the risk of disrupting other customers in the unlikely event that one our kids acted out.
